Whether portraying the stark realities of urban life or the tranquil beauty of coastal landscapes, each painting is imbued with a profound sense of emotion and nostalgia. Throughout his career, Stewerdson has had the honour of receiving commissions from esteemed clients such as the Crown Prince of Dubai and the King of Saudi Arabia, a testament to the universal appeal and impact of his art.

Having covered many subjects over the years one of my favourites is London. My paintings are often an attempt to paint a memory. Whether rough sleeping in the city, or in better times on the coast, I’ve always painted with emotion. My pictures are often lonely. When there’re people, I sometimes like to be one of them. For example, I’m sitting at a table in Close Enough for Jazz (rain). Others may be people I once knew. ” - Jonathan Stewerdson
