Fogged Out by Sheri Jones

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. This is available for purchase. $125.00

56 T-Bird by Sheri Jones

16x20 oil on canvas

I found this jewel in Ft. Worth, just west of downtown. It was on one of the side streets in the musuem district and was calling my name.  This was totally restored and a real beauty. I couldn't believe anyone would leave it setting outside. I love painting vintage cars and hope you enjoy them. This is available for purchase. $300.00

Low Water Crossing by Sheri Jones

Low Water Crossing by Sheri Jones

7x14 oil on canvas

I created this plein air this past Saturday. We were outside of Glen Rose traveling the back roads looking for good painting spots. We drove past this and decided to look around. One of the challenges is finding somewhere to pull over. This location had a couple options, so we set up shop. We quickly got our paint boxes out and went to work.  I liked the nice distance and bright fall color of the trees.  This is available for purchase. $150.00

Paluxy at Big Rock Park by Sheri Jones

This painting was created today plein air. I met my friend Jill Randall and Olivette Hubler at Big Rock Park in Glen Rose, Texas. It was a great morning to be out and about painting with my friends.  We were on the hunt for good locations for an upcoming plein air workshop for Olivette.  We toured the back roads of Glen Rose . We were inspired and motivated to return soon. This is available for purchase. $100.00

Poppy Passion by Sheri Jones

This painting was reworked. I created the original painting earlier in the year. It had a lighter background and after living with it for a while I decided it needed a darker background. I like this version better. Original painting posted January 7, 2011. This painting is available for purchase. $250.00

Brazos River Reflections by Sheri Jones

Brazos River Reflections by Sheri Jones

10x20 Oil on canvas

This was inspired from a small field study in Pecan Plantation in Granbury. Pecan Plantation is a sprawling neighbor hood with the Brazos river running through it. I always find inspiration there. This is from the old bridge that over looks the river. It's a great spot to gather with other artist and paint. I painted this with a palette knife and lots of colorful paint. This is available for purchase. $150.00

Blue Bug (62 Volkswagon) By Sheri Jones

Blue Bug (62 Volkswagan) by Sheri Jones
11x14 oil on canvas
I love the old vintage volkswagons. When I saw this one parked outside an art store in Ft. Worth I knew I wanted to paint it. The owner usually parks it under a shade tree. I was pleasantly surprised to find it ou in the sun in front of the store. I love the contrasting colors of the stucco building. Sold

Lake Granbury Cove by Sheri Jones

Lake Granbury Cove by Sheri Jones

14x11 oil on canvas

Our lake really suffered from the drought this year. When it was at it's lowest we drove around to check it out and of course I took lots of photos. I like how the bushes framed out the house and barn in this cove.  I painted this with lots of paint and a palette knife. This is available for purchase. $150.00

Wild Sunflower by Sheri Jones

Wild Sunflowers by Sheri Jones

10x8 oil on canvas

I eyed these flowers on a vacant lot near my inlaws home.  I couldn't resist cutting a few for a still life. I borrowed the vase from them, set it up in their back yard and went to work. The morning light provided terrific contrast on the sunflowers and vase.   This painting is available for purchase. $100.00

58 Chevy by Sheri Jones

58 Chevy by Sheri Jones

11x14 oil on canvas

I saw this chevy in a parking lot near the square in Granbury and took a number of photos. When I decided to paint it I printed a hard copy. I forgot to adjust the printer set up and it automatically cropped the photo. I liked the way it printed and decided to go with this happy accident. I do like the way the reflections came out and the cropped version. I created it with a brush and lots of thick paint. This is available for purchase. $175.00

Sunset at Mountain Lakes by Sheri Jones

Sunset at Mountain Lakes by Sheri Jones

16x20 oil on canvas

This was a painting I created as a demonstration for the Ellis County Art Association in Waxahachie. This was the same day as a hugh chemical fire. There were warnings they were evacutating the area and closing the freeway into town.  I'm glad I ignored all the warnings and went down anyway. Most of the drama was generated by the news media and as it turned out the air was safe and the freeways were open. We had a pretty good group despite all the drama of the day. This painting is available for purchase. $250.00

Dianthus and daisies by Sheri Jones

It was painted with a palette knife and lots of colorful paint.  This is availalbe for purchase. $150.00

Sunrise Front by Sheri Jones

Sunrise Front by Sheri Jones

10x8 oil on canvas

I created this sunrise painting in Granbury. A cool front was moving in at the same time. It was unique, because it was a slow moving front and this scene lasted longer than most sunrises.  I was amazed at the beauty and delighted I was there to record it.  This is available for purchase. $100.00

52 GMC Truck by Sheri Jones

52 GMC Truck by Sheri Jones

20x24 Oil on canvas

This big red truck was sitting on the side of Hwy 281 south of Hamilton along with several other old trucks. They stopped me in my tracks and I made a quick u-turn to get some pictures. I love these old trucks and get excited when I see one. They bring back memories of the past for so many people and are a treat to paint. This painting is available for purchase. $500.00

Candy Dishes by Sheri Jones

Candy Dishes by Sheri Jones

11x14 oil on canvas

I set up this still life outside and took some photos. The pansies in the blue vase tell me it was cold outside.  I love the warm amber color of the two candy dishes. The glow of the sun filtering through the pansy was a nice balance.  This is available for purchase. $150.00
