Hello! I'm Jon, by creating my art, I share my vision and bring beauty into everyday life.

Nature, with all its charm and mystery, has always sparked my curiosity. As an artist, I find my inspiration in the endless subjects and surprises that Mother Nature throws my way. Be it the fiery hues of a sunset or the delicate designs on a leaf, my goal is to snag the magic that makes nature so darn enchanting.

When I paint, I like to create a vibe that's real yet kind of otherworldly. I mix old-school and trendy painting techniques to get my ideas down on canvas. My style? It's realistic, with just a pinch of artistic pizzazz to add some motion and texture to each piece.

One big thing for me as an artist is to take the viewer on a journey into my canvas world. I want them to feel like they're right there in the scene, awestruck by the beauty and wonder of nature. To pull this off, I put a lot of focus on the little things in each piece, like how the light kisses a tree or the roughness of a rock. By plunging the viewer into the painting, I hope to spark a deeper love for the great outdoors and all its breathtaking sights.

Why Choose Original Paintings

Picking art for your pad isn't just a whim, right? It's about you - your style, your passions, your spark. Even just thinking about original art says a lot - you're into unique vibes and authenticity. Now, let's talk about my artwork. Each one's done on fine linen on panels or canvas. I prepare 'em myself and use top-notch paint that's gonna stick around. A bunch of my paintings start as sketches or photos, or even as plein air paintings done on-site. Each one's a snapshot of how I was feeling about that place at that moment. So, thanks for giving my artwork a look. Hope you find the perfect piece for your space. If you don't see something that grabs you, give me a shout. We could chat about a commission painting just for you - a one of a kind piece of your favorite spot.

Childhood & Current Hometown Commission Paintings

Clients often have fond memories of their childhood homes and towns and want to create a painting that captures these nostalgic experiences. With high-quality photos of the childhood home, I can create a beautiful piece that will be treasured. Although these commissions may take a bit longer to plan and produce, the end result is always worth it.

"I commissioned a painting by Jon Krider for my wife's birthday. The process was well-planned and allowed my vision to come to life. Jon is a perfectionist and knows how to bring a painting to life. When my wife opened her gift, she immediately cried as she understood the meaning behind the painting. Seeing the painting in person left me speechless. 5 stars."
