Jon Krider, Landscape Artist & Painter

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.

I'm so excited you're looking for the perfect artwork for your space! Finding just the right piece is such a wonderful journey that really lets your personality and style shine through. It's fantastic that you're interested in original artwork - it shows you really care about bringing something special and meaningful into your space.

Let me tell you a bit about how I create my pieces with lots of love and care: Each one starts its life on beautiful linen, which I carefully mount on either panels or canvas. I take extra special care in preparing everything myself, using the very best paints that will keep your artwork looking gorgeous for years to come.

Before I start painting, I love to get inspired by sketching, taking photos, or even painting right there in nature! Each piece tells its own special story of a moment and place that touched my heart. I'm really happy you're exploring my portfolio, and I hope you'll find something that speaks to you and makes your space feel even more like home.

And hey, if you don't find exactly what you're dreaming of, I'd love to chat! We could work together to create something completely custom - a special piece that captures your favorite place in a way that's uniquely yours.
