Farm to Market Girls by Sheri Jones

10 x 8 oil on canvas

This was painted today during the Quick Draw on the Waxahachie Court House Lawn. The street was lined with farmers and vendors selling their wares. These two ladies were bouncy around like jelly beans. As soon as they sat they stood. They walked around and moved the chairs several times. It was so funny chasing them with my paint brush. So this really is my impression and completed in less than 90 minutes!

Sold at the auction following the quick draw.

We have a week to paint our impression of the town and there will be a show and sale June 5 and June 6 -10 - 5 at Chautauqua Auditorium in the park.

I painted this today in the Waxahachie Paint out. Today was the kick off and turned into a great day. The temperatures rose to the mid 90's, but as long as I found as shade tree to paint under I was OK. There are lots of gingerbread houses and shade trees in this lovely North Texas town. The paint out is in conjunction with the Gingerbread tour of Homes. This is one of the featured homes.

I set my paints up in the shade of my garden and painted these hollyhocks. This is an old fashion flower and one of my favorites. The flowers are all looking great right now and just begging to be painted. Better do it now, before the Texas heat makes its annual visit.

The Parlor by Sheri Jones

The Parlor by Sheri Jones

30 x 40 oil on gallery wrapped canvas

This painting was inspired by a trip to a local ranch. There were around 20 outdoor painters who met here to paint the landscape. I created several paintings while there, but the interior of this ranch house was just as inspiring. Everything in this home was placed and grouped with an artistic eye. This room over looked the patio, pool, and distance views. I loved the dramatic light the sun created on the floor.

This painting was inspired from a trip to the Ft Worth Botanical Gardens. I wished I had my paints, but the camera was the next best thing. I liked the design and bright color of the flowers and knew I had to paint them.

This was painted out on location in the small town of Paluxy, Texas. The town consist of a Post Office, Church, outdoor pavillion and a few houses. It is up high on a hill and has a lovely meadow within view. I quickly set up and layed out my design, starting with large shapes. Painting with a palette knife helps me get the paint on quicker and thicker.
