Late Summer Light on Cornwall Cove

Jon Doran’s original oil paintings fuse classical themes with a modern, contemporary style. His serene, misty depictions of Cornwall—ranging from tranquil rivers to dramatic north coast cliffs—evoke a sense of the sublime. Doran employs a distinctive oil painting technique that integrates various textures and effects. Up close, the paintings reveal a tapestry of abstract marks, with rough shapes and scrapes layered and blended in intricate patterns. From a distance, these elements coalesce to vividly convey the essence of the depicted landscapes.
