I'm ba-ack!

If you're new to my work, welcome!

It's been over a year since I pretty much stopped marketing my work online. Life is like that sometimes. A parent passes away, and everything gets put on hold. Things change, and time just keeps on moving forward.

So this is my new website. Seriously, I can't stand this computer business. It's gives me grey hairs and a short temper, but if you're an art lover and you've stumbled on my stuff through one of the many ways I've put "Liam Jones Fine Art" out there online, then it was worth it!

There's a bunch of new stuff coming down the pipe. One exciting new development is a partnership with Jacek Karlowski, who is one heavy musician and a great painter here in the Toronto area. We've been friends for years, and finally there is the opportunity to team up and pool our resources. We call our project "Good Guy Productions". Well, we haven't fully settled on the name, but it kinda gets the idea across.

Anyhoo, welcome! It's great to be back. I hope to hear from you. Here's to music and art!

The Reason I Paint


Hello reader!

Thanks for your interest and for stopping by! This is the first blog I’ve ever
attempted. After much thought, I’ve decided not to use my blog as a journal or
as a place to rant, or as a personal exposé.

Instead, I have decided I would rather stay on point and talk about art, using
this blog to offer up thoughts that keep me inspired to paint.

Leonard Cohen once wrote a poem called “The Reason I Write”. When an
artist as accomplished as Mr. Cohen declares the reason he does what he does,
it will always make for good reading:

The reason I write
is to make something
as beautiful as you are
When I'm with you
I want to be the kind of hero
I wanted to be
when I was seven years old
a perfect man

who kills


Of course, with a title like "the reason I write", I'd expect the poem to say something like "I want to say something romantic or meaningful... I want to change the world... I like to play with words... etc", but the poem isn’t quite what I expected, it’s so much more, and a little, uh, special, being that he wants to kill somebody and all.

My point is this: This blog is about the reason I paint. I aim to make it good
reading and I’ll try to keep the violence to a minimum. ;)
