In his abstract landscapes and seascapes like Surging Sea, Jason Schoener developed a distinctive technique using vibrant oils, acrylic colors, and transparent watercolors. Schoener’s oil compositions were influenced by his travels through Scotland, Greece, and Latin America. Other subject matter included floral still lifes, naval operations scenes, and landscapes around his home in Georgetown, Maine. A critic from The Late Chronicle once wrote that Schoener “studies nature closely and transforms its moods into images with exceptional imagination and skill…he possesses a remarkably sensitive touch in matters of color and surface effect.”
