Print Description MAGA Ride color_lens "I wanted to paint a picture of President Trump and Melania on a jacked-up motorcycle, painted up with the American flag and patriotism, as they ride down a bumpy, crumbling road that represents the hazards and the problems that this presidency has faced since Trump has been elected. Behind the president are a broad variety of Americans. Some are wearing their red, MAGA (Make America Great Again) hats, a veteran saluting, and people from all walks of life. They are all there, and we are cheering on our president. If you look closely in the cracks you might see something interesting there. Get ready ... this is the MAGA Ride!" Cracks in the road spell M A G A. Federal Capitol Building represents Trump’s opposition among the Democrats and weak Republicans. The crowd of American supporters, from all backgrounds proudly wearing their red Make America Great Again hats. American Flag is a source of light. Artist paints himself in the painting. -- Jon McNaughton Artist Biography About the Artist color_lens Jon McNaughton is an established artist from Utah whose paintings are attracting the attention of collectors from across the country. Artist memories of open gates leading into lush garden paths, quiet streets, charming homes, and poetic landscapes are the focus of his paintings. "I have often found on returning to nostalgic places of my past that they were not as lovely as I remembered in my mind's eye. For this reason, I choose to paint from my heart rather than working from photographs. Usually a small pencil sketch is enough to spark a painting. I suppose I choose to look at the world through my rose-colored glasses." McNaughton's roots trace back to the small town of Grafton, Utah. He feels a deep love for the land of his pioneer heritage. He says it was instrumental in developing his artistic tendencies. From an early age, Jon McNaughton showed great promise that eventually led to a full art scholarship to Brigham Young University. Only two out of two thousand received the award. While a student, McNaughton received both the Art Talent Award and the Design Talent Award from the university. Jon McNaughton describes his work as the "essence of nature." After spending many hours observing and studying the varying nuances of landscapes, he returns to his studio to paint from memory. Refusing to work from photographs, mental notations and an occasional pencil sketch are enough to inspire a beautiful painting. "I believe that only the basic elements of a beautiful painting exist in nature. The sentiment and feeling that flow from the mind and heart of an artist are what create the highest beauty of landscape painting." McNaughton's artistic style stems from his study of the forerunners to the Impressionists. As he studied the writings of the early Impressionists, he noticed a common reference to the French Barbizon School of painting which was popular from about 1830-1875. The works of these artists deeply moved him. Softly painted landscapes depicting genre scenes around the French countryside with subtle tones of color and light were a springboard for McNaughton's creative inspiration. These Barbizon painters were a great influence to many of the early Impressionists. Artists such as Monet, Pissaro, Van Gogh, Renoir, and others made frequent reference to them. Because the Barbizon artists painted during the 19th century, few artists today follow in their footsteps. Jon McNaughton has specific goals for what he hopes to accomplish in the future. "It is my hope that my paintings will reach the viewer on more than a superficial level to touch something inside them which may not easily be reached. I hope the paintings will speak to them and say something like, 'you've seen me before, yet you have never seen anything completely like me.' When they walk away, I want to leave a feeling with them they will never forget because what they have seen has become a part of them.
