Ten Minute Lemons by Sheri Jones

Ten Minute Lemons

11 x14 oil on canvas

I set the time for each lemon and stopped after 10 minutes.  Exercises like this teach you to work quickly, observe and record only the essentials.  You should try it sometime, it is a fun exercise.  I did have my paints premixed and ready to go before setting the timer. I did it over the course of several days too. Lemons keep nicely in the fridge.This is available for purchase. $150.00

Summer Hydrangeas by Sheri Jones

Summer Hydrangeas 

8x10 oil on canvas

This was painted in the Ft. Worth Botanical Gardens yesterday morning. I met up with "The Doug Club" and about 10 other artist. 

  I used water based oil paints and a really limited palette.  I could not mix the right pink, so I  introduced a magenta  for the flowers.  I am limiting my palette and switching to water based paints in anticipation of a trip to Italy. The combination of both made this painting a real challenge. I did paint it with a palette knife and that was familiar. This is available for purchase. $200.00
