Sumac Bushes by Sheri Jones

Sumac Bushes by Sheri Jones

9x12 oil on canvas

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.

  This is available for purchase. $125.00

Foggy Fall Morning by Sheri Jones

Foggy Fall Morning by Sheri Jones

9x12 oil on canvas

This was my second attempt at a painting in the fog. It was too thick at my first stop and I ended up with a wiper. I drove up the hill and found this spot. The sun was trying to burn the clouds away, but the fog stayed around a long time.  I challenged myself by using a larger brush on this one. I used a #28 Galleria, that is 1 1/4 of an inch wide. This is available for purchase. $125.00

12x16 oil on canvas

I created this during a workshop with Olivette Hubler last weekend.  We were painting in an area on Edward's road that is one big flat rock.  I am always inspired when we paint here and usually do have a great time while there. This day was no exception. Everyone in the class seemed to have a good time and were equally inspired.   This is available for purchase through CFAI.http://www.cfai.co/sherijones

Paluxy Tree Reflections by Sheri Jones

Paluxy Tree Reflections

12x16 oil on 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.

I painted this during a recent workshop I took with Olivette Hubler.  She suggested we bring large brushes and some large canvases. This was the largest I've painted outdoors and loved using my 2 inch brush. Bigger the canvas, bigger the brush.    

This was on the Paluxy River in Glen Rose, Texas.

I painted this during a workshop I took with Olivette Hubler. She did a demo each morning and I found this so helpful in understanding her approach. I really admire her work and loved the workshop. It has been great being outside painting these last three days.  The mornings started off cold, but  we had clear skies and warm temperatures for the most part.  This house is in Heritage Park in Glen Rose, Texas.

I painted this today in Glen Rose during a workshop with Olivette Hubler.  She's a great artist and I am excited to be in her class. This park is along the Paluxy River and has a number of beautiful old buildings they have brought in. There is a lot to choose from to paint.  It turned into a great day with temperatures in the seventies.
