California Central Coast : My husband and I feel very fortunate to live where we do -- an area that until recently was known as the flower seed capital of the world and, more recently, an area dedicated to producing world-class wines. Come visit the gallery for paintings of local missions and flower fields. See more vineyard scenes in the gallery entitled "Central Coast Vineyards."

Norway, my ancestral home : On a trip to Norway in August, 2006, I not only traced my roots, I found family and my ancestral home. My experience was so rich that when I came home. I dedicated the next several months to composing pastel paintings based on my many sketches, photos and, most of all, memories that will never fade. Here is that collection which I exhibited in January, 2007, at a gallery in California. At that time, fine art, giclee prints will be available for sale. For sizes and prices, email me from my home page. (Click first on joanjones,above, and then on email at the end of my biog.)

Mexico: : From the moment I arrived in Alamos, Sonora, 500 miles south of the Arizona border, I knew I would develop a series on life as I saw it in this charming, 18th century colonial, Mexican town in the foothills of the Sierra Madres. Here is a sampling of the pastel paintings done back home in my studio from the numerous sketches and photos I'd accumulated on site. For sizes and prices, email me from my home page.
