One thing is certain about Rance Jones: The award-winning artist knows how to tell a story in his watercolor painting. Whether it’s a series of works depicting scenes from an Irish fishing village or vignettes of small-town Mexico, there’s a tale being told that delves beyond the surface, suggested in glances and gestures. Even in the manner Jones talks about his work, there’s a yarn attached. “I paint what’s emotionally powerful to me,” he says.
