Cliff Wall at Rough Creek by Sheri Jones

Cliff Wall at Rough Creek by Sheri Jones

14x11 oil on canvas

This was inspired from a trip out to Rough Creek Lodge in Glen Rose. It is a hunting resort on 11,000 acres and always a great place of inspiration.  We went on the opening weekend for hunting and there were gun shots all around. We were in a safe zone, but it is still intimidating with the sound of gunfire all around.  This small creek is the run off from their fishing lake. I painted this with a palette knife and lots of colorful paint and is available for purchase.

Split Window Coupe by Sheri Jones

Split Window Coupe

We were on our way to Ft. Worth one Sunday afternoon and spotted this antique coupe. I love to see cars like this on the road. Someone took great effort to restore this old relic.  I'll bet it doesn't see the light of a  day very often. I was thrilled to see it out for a cruise.

The forecast for Wednesday was temperatures in the seventies with calm winds. When I heard that I scheduled a day off work. I was not disappointed.  

 I have passed this spot daily and thought I could find something here to paint.  The sumac bushes appeared to be glowing in the morning sun.   It was a good spot and a great morning.
I painted this with a #28 Galleria (1 1/4" wide).  It was a challenge on such a small canvas.

I created this during a plein air workshop I took with Olivette Hubler. I was working behind the Benard Museum on the Paluxy River. A woman had come down to purchase a window in memory of her late husband at the museum.  You can purchase the windows and have them restored. She watched me paint for a while and decided she wanted to purchase my painting. I was about halfway through it and agreed to finish it and ship it out when it dried.  I love it when that happens.

Fogged Out by Sheri Jones

9x12 oil on canvas

I painted this at Hunter Park on Lake Granbury Saturday morning. It was a foggy morning and the drive over was a challenge. The fog was still thick when I pulled up. I loved the mystery and drama of the thick atmosphere. I walked out on the pier to get a good view of the lake and saw this boat. I set up quickly and went to work. I had layed out my paint and premixed my grays before I left the house that morning.  I was able to paint the fog as quickly as it faded.  It was a relaxing way to spend my morning.
