Years ago in Miami, Florida, my husband did some work for an artist by the name of Glyn Jones, and was paid with a painting. The painting is named "Polynecius" and is based on a Greek myth. It is dated 1974. For the last couple of years I have been trying to find something about this artist, but have had no luck. I wonder if he is the same Glyn Jones who created "Dr. Who"? (I know that he was also an artist.) He spoke with a British accent and was married to a woman named Myra at the time. Does anyone know anything about this artist? Thanks.

Hi! All I know is that this is a more common name than one might have thought. There appear to be two artists by the name, if style is any indication, as well as an art professor and your writer.. with not much visible work by any of them... much less a way to determine which one's which! But there is a photograph of one so perhaps it will help you to narrow it down. What I found is as follows:

Wow. I can't believe I came across this. I found some of glyns artwork and decided to do a search on yahoo. glyn passed away years back. So did his wife, Myrta. He was very avid about his Greek mythology painting. I have a few covers of La Bohemia Cuban magazine that he designed. Lovely man. RIP.

Do we know the extent of his work as far as gallery s or showings. Did his work become valuable after or before his passing when it comes to art appraisals. Great looking paintings but have not found a place where we can see more of his work here on the web...I have one of his works that was custom done to my background.

CHANCES ARE IT WAS THE SAME GLYN JONES THAT DID MY FATHER'S PORTRAIT. HE WAS ENGLISH, MARRIED TO A CUBAN LADY BY THE NAME OF MIRTA AND HE USED TO LIVE IN THE MIAMI/CORAL GABLES, FLORIDA AREA BEFORE HIS DEATH. HIS ART VERY OFTEN WAS THEMED AFTER MYTHOLOGY AND SHAKESPEAREAN CHARACTERS. HIS ART WAS WELL THOUGHT OUT AND BEAUTIFULLY EXECUTED. HE WAS TRULY TALENTED.
