"When I first saw paintings by Robert Sparrow Jones at Longview Gallery in Washington, D.C., in 2008, I was struck by what felt like a sense of unfinishedness in his work. It intrigued me, because, coupled with the people, the scenes, the qualities of a palette that utilized various tints and shades of ochre and lime green to blue-greens that ranged from aqua to teal, I felt like I was being invited to consider the story that was paused before me: Who were these people? What were they doing? What came before this? What would come next?"
