Military
Military art captures the intensity, sacrifice, and camaraderie of military life, from vivid battle scenes to intimate portraits. Through realism and firsthand experience, I create works that bring viewers closer to the human side of combat. Each piece pays homage to the camaraderie, resilience, and humanity within military life and are not only visually compelling but also deeply authentic.
Combat Aircraft
Combat aircraft art brings the power, precision, and intensity of military aviation to life, showcasing iconic aircraft in dynamic scenes. Through realism and firsthand experience, I create works that capture the technical beauty and emotional impact of flight. Each piece honors the spirit of aviation and those who fly, resonating with enthusiasts and veterans alike.
Aviation
Aviation art celebrates the grace, power, and innovation of flight, from historic aircraft to modern marvels. Through detailed realism and an aviator’s perspective, I create works that capture the thrill and beauty of soaring through the skies. Each piece pays tribute to aviation’s legacy and the courage of those who fly, inspiring both enthusiasts and professionals.
Helicopter
Helicopter art captures the unique agility, power, and purpose of rotary-wing flight, from military missions to search-and-rescue operations. With a pilot’s insight, I bring to life the dynamics and intensity of helicopters in action. Each piece is a tribute to the skill and bravery of those who operate these incredible machines, connecting with both aviators and enthusiasts.
Latest Projects
Welcome to Murray Jones Fine Art! I’m a professional artist, commercial aviator, and an Army AH-64D/E Apache Instructor Pilot. Growing up in a family of combat veterans, I developed a deep passion for capturing the intense reality faced by our service members. With firsthand combat experience as a rifleman and Apache pilot in Iraq and Afghanistan, I create artwork that reflects the physical and emotional demands of war and flight. Specializing in oils, acrylics, and graphite/charcoal, I am open to commissions and work in genres beyond military aviation as well. Thank you for visiting, and God bless!

I grew up in a family of combat veterans that fought in every war since World War II. We served in all branches and I developed a passion for capturing the reality of war our men and women face confronting evil on earth. I have extensive combat exposure as a rifleman and AH-64 pilot in Iraq and Afghanistan. My upbringing and professional career have enabled me to produce the most beautiful and accurate artwork you can buy. I understand how physical and emotional forces affect the human being while fighting and in flight, am able to convey this from personal experience where most artists will be challenged, and I look forward to completing a meaningful, impactful piece that will be cherished by you and your family for generations. I am in constant demand for commissions, but will always accept new clients! I work in Oils, Acrylics, and Graphite/Charcoal. I create in other genres outside of Military Aviation as well.

I specialize in military aviation art, but work in all genres. I primarily work with oils or acrylics, but am trained in all mediums. I love painting and look forward to being your go-to Artist!
