2 Red Sheds by Sheri Jones
7x14 oil on canvas
I have driven past these cluster of buildings on my way to paint with friends for years. We finally made them our destination and had a great time painting them.  A lot of times it is hard to find somewhere to park when painting plein air. This is across the street from a great furniture store and they let us paint from their back parking lot.   This is available for purchase. $125.00

Field Farm All by Sheri Jones

Field Farm All by Sheri Jones
11x14 oil on canvas
This old tractor is parked in a field off Hwy 51 in Granbury.  The field it was resting in was a painter's paradise, with old cars, trucks, donkeys, goats and cows.  I took a few pictures while there and plan to paint a few more from here.  The bright red tractor really was what caught my eye. This is available for purchase.

Water lily Reflections by Sheri Jones

Water Lily Reflections by Sheri Jones
24x20 oil on gallery wrapped canvas
I painted this from a field study and photos of a water garden in Waxahachie. It was a comissioned piece and a real treat to paint. She wanted it colorful and she wasn't disappointed.  I enjoyed painting this with the palette knife. The knife allows me to build layer upon layer of colorful paint. This painting is sold, but I have similar paintings available.

Barnard's Mill by Sheri Jones

Barnard's Mill by Sheri Jones
12x9 oil on canvas
I painted this at Barnard's Mill Art Musuem in Glen Rose during the Outdoor Painter's Society gathering on Friday.  There was a great turn out and I suspect it had something to do with our improved weather.  The temperatures were cool and comfortable. We even got some rain on Friday night, which was a welcome relief.  The sun was coming up behind this round building with the light streaming through. It was a great time with about 30 artist participating.  This is available for purchase. $125.00

I painted this in Glen Rose on Monday morning.  I met Doug Clark, Olivette Hubler, Joyce Thomas, Sabine Higgins, and Maryann Brummer early in the morning.  The temperatures were in the 60's and it felt wonderful.  Afterwards they all followed me home for  a well deserved lunch. I was  amazed that they all were willing to get up so early, be on site ready to paint.  It was a fun day with my painting pals.

Color of Fall by Sheri Jones

Shades of Fall by Sheri Jones
10 x 8 oil on canvas
This was painted at Big Rock Park in Glen Rose, Texas.  The drought is stressing the trees out and they are giving the appearance of fall. The morning sun was rising and cast a beautiful glow on the trees and dying bushes.
There are plans for members of the Outdoor Painting Society to paint in Glen Rose September 16, 17.  There are plenty of inspiration in this small town.  I hope to see you there.
This is available for purchase. $100.00

Big Rock Park by Sheri Jones

Big Rock Park by Sheri Jones
10x8 oil on canvas

I painted this today at Big Rock Park in Glen Rose, Texas. The Paluxy river normally runs through this rocky area, but it is dried up. They actually had bulldozers on the river bed and it looked like a road.  The early fall colors are a bonus for a plein air painter, but another sign of the drought in Texas.  This painting is available for purchase. $100.00
