Summary
Those of us who live in the Tidewater of the Mid-Atlantic, especially around Hampton Roads, Virginia, easily recognize Herb Jones' paintings. We live beneath "Herb Jones skies" whenever the cold air returns in the autumn and the heavens are ruled by wind-driven clouds. Our hearts skip a beat when we watch a trailing "vee" of geese waft down to settle gracefully on our waters, and we suffer a twinge of nostalgia when we see the lonely remains of a deserted dwelling struggling to stand against the gathering storms for one more season. Herb Jones' mastery of such subjects allowed him to touch our souls with his.
