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.
$150.00

 This truck is in a field right outside my neighborhood and I drive by it at least twice a day. I have painted it before, but alway wanted to paint in on location. I waited until the coldest and windiest day and had to hang onto the canvas to steady it against the wind. I was happy I endured the weather. I love this old pink truck.

Split Window Coupe by Sheri Jones

Split Window Coupe
16x20 oil on canvas
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.
