One Roof, Two Easels with Bob and Bonnie Jones

Partners in art and life, artists Bob and Bonnie Jones capture the beauty of their shared journey

By Renáe Tesauro - March 12, 2026

If walls could talk, the vast collection of original oil paintings hanging throughout the Vero Beach home of Robert Mead Jones and Bonnie Beauchamp Jones would tell the story of a shared journey. Impressionist landscapes, classically rendered portraits, and strikingly realistic still lifes and figurative oils—all painted by the couple—would reminisce about a chance meeting aboard an ocean liner. They would describe studies abroad, a 57-year marriage, world travel, and parallel paths as lawyers and artists. Perhaps most important, they would applaud their creators’ shared passion and talent for recognizing and capturing beauty on canvas.

Like all good journeys, theirs (literally) embarked from New York harbor in 1965. Bob, a 20-year-old student at Yale University, spotted Bonnie, a 20-year-old Denison University coed, on the deck of the ocean liner Queen Elizabeth. Both French majors were preparing to sail to France for their junior year at the Sorbonne. “It was a splendid day in early September, and for me, it was love at first sight,” writes Bob in the couple’s 2021 published book, Art & Beauty: The Paintings of Robert Mead Jones and Bonnie Beauchamp Jones.
