Jonathan "Jonny" Little - Fine Art
A Yorkshire Dales artist creating oil landscapes, portraits and charcoal studies inspired by the changing seasons, natural light and close observation of the world around us.
Observations of people and place through oil and charcoal
Working across oil and charcoal, I document the relationship between people, place, and presence. Each piece develops through observation and process, balancing structure with spontaneity.
The Yorkshire Dales has been both home and inspiration for many years, fuelling my creativity with its ever-changing beauty. I spent my childhood in rural Buckinghamshire where I developed a long lasting love of the outdoors. I moved to the Yorkshire Dales early on in my working career and still find it to be one of the most inspiring and exhilarating places I have ever known. I love exploring the area and I am constantly inspired and energised by the beautiful landscapes I see every day.
Observing light, form, and presence through paint and charcoal.
Original oil landscapes, portraits, and charcoal life drawings exploring light, atmosphere, and human presence through observation.

Reflections from those who live with the work
Read feedback from collectors, clients, and viewers.
“I've bought two of Jonny's paintings now, the first was 'sunrise' and the second 'early morning sun through trees'. The way Jonny captures both the light and shadows is truly stunning. It's a delight to see Jonnys work, and I've been lucky enough to have gone to several of his exhibitions. I can highly recommend purchasing from Jonny. The paintings were beautifully framed and came with a certificate of authenticity. They were safely packaged to avoid damage and Jonny gave me advice on how best to care for my paintings too.”
