Flat Rock Stream by Sheri Jones

Flat Rock Stream by Sheri Jones
12 x 12 oil on gallery wrapped canvas
I painted this in the Paluxy area just outside of Granbury. This section of the road is part of one big flat rock. This makes it easy to work out of the back of your car and not be in danger of passing cars. You can drive up and park anywhere.

Old Mill by Sheri Jones

Old Mill by Sheri Jones
10 x 8 oil on Raymar canvas
I painted this on a cool November morning. We met at a fellow artist's property on the banks of the Paluxy River. This old mill is on land that has been in her family since the 1800's. This was a working mill that served the county in its heyday. The river rose and a bridge broke loose and took this building down. It has been in that state since. It was great to record this historical site.
