Sunny Geraniums by Sheri Jones

Sunny Geraniums

14x11 oil on canvas

This was inspired by  a photo taken in Pienza, Italy. It was on our last day and we were given free time to wander and shop. I found these bright red flowers in the courtyard of an old hotel. I was attracted to the contrast between the old stone work and the shadowed courtyard. It made the flowers pop. I painted this with a palette knife and lots of colorful paint. This is available for purchase. $300.00

9x12 oil on canvas

I painted this on location in the Lake Baptist Church parking lot. It has great views and outstanding color this time of the year. We are fortunate to have perfect plein air painting weather this late in the year.  I wanted to show how bright red the sumac bushes appeared in the light of the afternoon sun.
