Flat Rock Creek Sunrise

Flat Rock Creek Sunrise by Sheri Jones
30x24 oil on canvas

I created this from a couple of field studies. They were of the same location, but at different times of the day. I love the warm color the rising sun creates.  This was on a beautiful fall morning. This was created with a palette knife and lots of colorful paint.  This painting is available for sale through CFAI Sheri@sheriart.net

Beautiful Sunrise by Sheri Jones

Beautiful Sunrise by Sheri Jones
36x24 oil on canvas

I created this in the studio from one of my small field studies. On the morning I created the field study the sun poked through stormy clouds. It was a beautiful sunrise for a minute and I tried my best to capture it. As soon as we left the skys opened up and poured. I used the palette knife to paint this.

Show Flowers by Sheri Jones

Show Flowers by Sheri Jones
16 x 8 oil on Raymar canvas panel
My sister Pam and her husband Dan were in Hawai during the opening reception at my solo show in Granbury. They were unable to attend, but sent these beautiful flowers straight from the island.  It was such a treat to receive this special delivery.  They made a beautiful center piece for the show. I knew I had to paint them.  This was painted with a palette knife.

Gray Day Study by Sheri Jones

Gray Day Study by Sheri Jones
9 x 12 oil on Raymar canvas panel
I painted this at a Jill Carver plein air workshop in Waxahachie, Texas. She is a skilled and talented teacher. She packs a lot of information in her workshops. If you ever get a chance to take from her I would jump at it.  The main lesson on this day was recognizing and applying the right value.  The gray grain towers against the gray day was perfect for this.
