Career
Reginald Jones lived in Eltham, Kent and also in London. He travelled widely, particularly in France, Spain and Italy, producing many paintings of the landscapes he witnessed. After viewing Jones" work at the Royal Institute exhibition of March 1889, the English artist and critic Walter Sickert commented "I am not sorry for Reginald Jones or Raven Hill.
lieutenant is not progressive art, though a course of it might be a wholesome tonic to our stippling brigade."
During the winter months when opportunities to travel abroad were scarse, Jones gave lessons in water-colour painting at his studio near Hyde Park, London.
In 1905 Jones married Jessie Mary Hacon (1860–1951)of Hackney, in High Wycombe. She was the daughter of the late Edward Dennis Hacon(Surgeon & General Practice)& Clara Turner
He exhibited extensively at the principle London galleries from 1880 until his death in 1920.
