PETER ANDREW JONES ART CATALOGUE : swa220

Painted in Oil and Acrylic on masonite panel this painting typifies the later period of role-play games art in which an extended area on the right was added, which, although it did not appear on the bookcover due to different format, was originally conceived as an extra facility for publishers to use when releasing promotional posters to promote a published book or series, and this probably became the unconscious root of the Artist's later self-published pursuits, most especially limited edition prints and multimedia paintings.

"After over a quarter-century of placing the composed centre of attention always on the right hand side of pictures my creative soul needed to evolve, so I began offering a "free" service to publishers by creating an extra space they could use for promotional purposes while at the same time it freed me to expand creatively and did, in fact, influence the way I composed the front cover area, even though the right hand side was "'off-screen". My time in TV producing film pans probably also influenced that change in format. Little did I know then that the format would be ideal for later rural landscapes of mine, which at this time were nowhere in my consciousness, and it also came to suit some of my Crux Millennium works, so I guess that's the way my creativity works, I kind of slip from one thing into another via some unconscious creative flow".
