Living on a cricket ground and being such a big fan I was delighted to get this request to paint a member of the Hetton Lyons Cricket Team. The vintage gentleman sport in warm sepia glory.
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.

Jon has always had a passion and talent for illustration and its through the art of caricature where he successfully manages to channel this gift bringing humor to the faces of most but always to himself.
Jon spends a great deal of time traveling to foreign shores but always returns to the wet and windy, grey landscape of his native North East of England home.
