Fall Light by Sheri Jones

Fall Light by Sheri Jones

20 x 16 oil on canvas

This was inspired by my desire for cooler temperatures and fall colors. I painted a small study on location last year and took a few photos. I painted this from the photo and it looks totally different than the original study. I used the same colors, but used a different design. The paint was applied with a palette knife and lots of colorful paint.

This painting is available for purchase.

I used a small 8x10 study to recreate this larger version. The original was inspired from a photo my friend Jill took in our neighborhood. It had such rich colors, I couldn't resist painting it. It was painted with a palette knife and lots of colorful paint.

A Morning Rise by Sheri Jones

A Morning Rise by Sheri Jones

9 x 12 oil on canvas

This was painted on site yesterday morning from a point in Indian Harbor overlooking Lake Granbury. It took me about 3 minutes to drive there from my house. We were on site by 6:45 am , and wrapped it up by 9:30. I have painted from this location at different times of the year and it seems the sun was not coming up where I remember. I choose to move it where I wanted it squeeze it all together.

This painting is available for purchase $250.00.

An Early Morning by Sheri Jones

8 x 10 oil on canvas

I painted this on location at Lake Granbury Marina in the early hours of a warm summer day. Getting on location early is a bear, but so worth seeing the sunrise. We experienced temperatures in the high eighty's while painting. It warmed quickly, elevating to 104 on this day.

Cheesecakes by Sheri Jones

I continue my food series with this version of the cheesecakes. I painted "Mini Cheesecakes for Sale" earlier in the year ( posted Jan. 17th). I wanted to rework it by using a palette knife and different design. This is full of texture and lots of paint.

This was created in the studio from a set up. I raided the kitchen and found some willing victims. The wacky name on the bag of macaroni makes me smile.

Party Food By Sheri Jones

Party Food by Sheri Jones

11 x 14 Oil on canvas

This was inspired from a photo I took at the The Langdon Center in Granbury. A reception was being held for a group show and I stopped by to check it out. Food is my chosen theme for the moment and I just loved the colorful crab meat and dip. I will keep trying for a cookbook cover for the fund raiser. Miz Shoes suggested I make it vertical and I think that is an excellent idea! I will try it out on the next one. Another reason I stopped by the Langdon Center was to check out the wall space. I will have a Solo show at Tarleton's Langdon Center gallery in the A.P. Gordon House in Granbury in February 2011. YaWhoo.

11 x 14 oil on canvas
This was painted from a set up in my studio. I am inspired to create a cookbook cover for an upcoming fundraiser I am involved in. This is my first attempt and I am sure there will be more to follow. I work for VITAS Hospice Care and will help coordinate a cookbook we will all contribute recipes to. We are raising money for the VITAS Charitable Foundation. They are doing wonderful things for our patients and families through out the country.

Lazy Sunflowers by Sheri Jones

4 x 6 oil on canvas

These lazy sunflowers were taking a break from the Texas heat and soaking up the air conditioner. I was not helping to extend their life by keeping them out of water. I was forced to paint them really fast. Zoom zoom.
