The Reptile Painting

Jonathan Morrill is a Hollywood-based artist. Jonathan Morrill creates artwork that is merely a potpourri of what God, motion pictures, and Mother Nature have already produced. Newmarket, New Hampshire, Provincetown, Massachusetts, Saint Petersburg, Florida, and Hollywood, California, are the four major locations where Jonathan Morrill has studied and honed his illustrative abilities. His acrylic works of many a tinsel-town icon have graced the walls of La-La Land's great haunts, including Hollywood Forever Cemetery and The Hollywood Wax Museum. His Hollywood Icon portraits are exhibited at Creature Features Gallery in Burbank, The Carter-Sexton Gallery in North Hollywood, The Art Parlor in North Hollywood, Crafted in the Port of Los Angeles, The Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach, Orland International Airport, The Tonga Hut Tiki Bar in North Hollywood, and Crackskulls Coffee and Books, in Newmarket, New Hampshire. From childhood memories to celluloid dreams, from monsters and Mai Tais to cryptozoology, from forgotten time chords in dusty places to unknown realms hiding in space, Jonathan Morrill creates work born out of intense concentration and effortless thoughtlessness. These works are threaded and infused with colors that change upon the luminance they're given, which make them appear different to every eye.. Contemporaries, instructors, teachers, and collaborators include Yvonne Anderson, Ray Nolin, Jack Barrett, Gregory Gillespie,Harvey Dodd, Lance Rodgers, Frank Dietz, Jonathan Blum, Lee Musselman, Eric October, Robert Gasoi, Paul Gasoi, Steph Gorkii, and Gary Wortzel.
