Artist Statement by Jon Houglum
“My goal in painting is to communicate the beauty of God’s creation through the elements and principles of a fine oil painting. Painting in the traditions of the Old Masters is a never ending quest for me and I thoroughly enjoy the thrills and the interesting people I meet along the way. My art students and I constantly challenge each other to paint new and exciting subjects.”
“The four years of private study under Antonias Raemaechers, a Dutch Master who had immigrated to the United States, has been one of the greatest blessings I have received as an artist in my life.”

Comments about Jon:
"Jon Houglum’s variety of paintings and his professional expertise in the composition, drawing and painting of the many subjects through the elements and principals of a fine oil painting, in the traditions of the Old Masters, display a masterful and accurate rendering of his subjects. For Jon painting is a passion and joyful experience. When you look at his paintings of landscapes, they turn your eyes back to the eighteenth century when every brush stroke made a statement to the viewer. In his paintings, you see and feel moved by the moment."
