Jones Blacksmith Shop-Old Time Santa Cruz, California artwork is a representation of a two-story wooden structure, with a design mimicking that of an old house or perhaps a vintage commercial building. The siding of the building shows pronounced wood grain texture, and the wooden shingles on the roof are visible. On the facade, there is prominent signage that reads "THE BLACKSMITH" which suggests that the building is, or includes, a blacksmith's shop.

In front of the shop, two wagons are depicted, each with spoked wheels and one being drawn by a pair of horses. The craftsmanship of the wagons suggests a bygone era, likely late 19th or early 20th century. Several figures are present, two of which are situated beside the wagon with horses, and three more stand near the entrance of the blacksmith's shop. The attire of the figures is consistent with period clothes from a historical context, with one individual wearing a broad-brimmed hat and another in a long dress, which reinforces the historical theme of the scene.

The building's main entrance is an open double door, inviting a look into the dark interior of the blacksmith's shop. Adjacent to the entrance is a window, contributing to the symmetry of the front face of the building. This structure's hue contrasts with the dark, natural ground in front of it and a dynamic sky overhead, which showcases wispy scattered clouds across a light to dark gradient, suggestive of either dawn or dusk.

The painting captures a slice of historical life, perhaps aiming to convey the essence of a community centered around a blacksmith's services at a time when such trades were integral to daily life. The play of light and shadow adds depth to the image, emphasizing the rustic charm of the scene.
