Olives, pansies and berries by Sheri Jones

12 x 12 acrylic on canvas I painted this on Saturday after all the distractions of the holidays were behind me. I enjoyed
the process of setting this still life up in the studio. Painting with acrylics on canvas was a
different and challenging experience. I like that it drys quicker, but will probably go back to my trusty oils.

Trumpet vine

10 x10 oil on canvas

This was completed at a three day workshop with Qiang Huang. I learned a lot about dramatic lighting and setting up a still life. Look for new work with influences from him. He is part of the Daily painter movement, posting a painting a day. He works a full time job and manages to paint at night. Amazing.



Cherries

A painting done during the workshop with Qiang Huang in Granbury this past August.


Lemons and an Orange
5 x 7 oil on canvas
I painted this during a workshop with Qiang Huang in Granbury this past August. It was at The Iron Horse bed and breakfast. This is a great old home with a workshop out back.

I painted this while participating in Last Friday Gallery Night in Granbury. I was painting at Stringfellow's Restaurant by the window. A storm blue in and the clouds got darker and darker. Between that and the romantic light in the restaurant it was a challenge. To top it off the electricity went out. It was time to go but I still managed to paint a bright happy picture.
