Harvey, painted popular Western scenes, but also urban streetscapes set at the turn of the past century. His work was unapologetically nostalgic, casting a golden glow on views of an Americana that already were fading before his birth in 1933 in San Antonio. During his youth, Jones lived in Kenedy, Corpus Christi and Kerrville, where his family owned the Wagon Wheel Lodge and where he graduated from Tivy High School. He started his higher education at Abilene Christian College where he met his future wife, Patty Marie Bentley Jones. A graduate of North Texas State University, he was teaching industrial arts at O. Henry Junior High in Austin during the late 1950s when his wife bought him an oil paint set. Once he settled on a style, Jones? career took off, helped by the patronage of celebrities such as Texas Gov. John Connally and President Lyndon B. Johnson. Some observers compared his work to the Impressionists, others to Texas artists Jose Arpa and Porfirio Salinas, as well as Robert Julian Onderdonk. Still others, later, made a connection to popular ?Painter of Light? artist Thomas Kinkade. He also worked in bronzes and his art was shown and sold in Dallas, New York City, Santa Fe and elsewhere. Starting in 1987, Jones donated yearly paintings to raise money for Focus on the Family, a Christian advocacy and education group. DDR This limited edition print is in near mint condition.
