Carroll Nathaniel Jones III (July 2, 1944 – June 22, 2017) was an artist in the style of American Realism. Carroll grew up in New Providence, NJ, where his father, an illustrator for Life (Magazine), was his first art teacher. He taught Carroll techniques of the Old Masters, who emphasized light, perspective, and composition. Carroll went to school in New York City (NYC) and enrolled in the Phoenix School of Design at age 17. He later attended Hartford Art School and became a commissioned portraitist for 10 years. 

After his work, Church Window was recognized in the New York Times, he moved away from portraits to recreate scenes that sparked memories of his childhood. Andrew Wyeth and Edward Hopper most influenced Jones. The Coe-Kerr Gallery of NYC and Whistler's Daughter Gallery of New Jersey represented Jones and contemporaries, Wyeth and Hopper. Malcom Forbes, Frederick R. Koch, Stephen Sondheim, William Schuman, and Jean Shepard held private collections. 

He exhibited at Newark Museum and Trenton Art Museum in New Jersey, and in universities, galleries and museums in seven states by his mid-thirties. His work is part of the permanent collections of Seton Hall University and Newark Museum. Art critic Marion Filler considered his work Magic Realism, a quiet movement made famous in America beginning in the 1920s by Hopper, and related to Surrealism.
