Jon McNaughton CROSSING SWAMP 16x24 Signed Donald Trump George Washington Art

Crossing the Swamp by Jon McNaughton. This unframed open edition paper lithograph print is brand new, signed by the artist Jon McNaughton, and ships flat and fully insured in a sturdy box.

Over 240 years ago George Washington suffered through Valley Forge and crossed the Delaware River to bring an astonishing victory to the Continental Army. This led to what many thought was impossible, to defeat a despot King and his formidable army. Today, Trump endeavors to cross the'swamp' of Washington DC as he carries the light of truth, hope, and prosperity. The murky water of the deep state is laced with dangerous vermin, perfectly willing to destroy American prosperity for their personal ideologies and financial gain. The establishment Democrats, Never-Trumper-Republicans, Deep State, and Fake News Media will do all they can to stop the majority of the American people from succeeding. As an artist, I paint what I feel needs to be said about the current state of our country. My hope is that Trump will be remembered as the President that restored Americas greatness. I want to be on that boat for freedom! From left to right: Nikki Haley, James Mattis, Ben Carson, President Trump, Jeff Sessions, Mike Pence, Melania Trump, Mike Pompeo, Sarah Sanders, Ivanka Trump, John Bolton, Kellyanne Conway, and John Kelly. 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. 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. 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. We gladly welcome international buyers.
