Red Buds Blooming

9x12 oil on Raymar canvas panel

This was painted on site on Country Road 1004 in Glen Rose yesterday.  When my friend Jill Randall and I took off we had a plan on where we wanted to paint. The creek bed we planned to paint at was dried up, so we went  to plan B. We had no plan B, so we drove around until we found color. It did not take us long to find these beautiful red bud.   These are some of the earliest blooming trees, that mark the start of spring. This is available for purchase. $250.00

El Tesoro Path by Artist of Texas Sheri Jones

El Tesoro Path

11x14 oil on canvas

I was fortunate enough to take a workshop with Jill Carver at El Tesoro Camp in Granbury, Texas recently. There were 15 friends and fellow artist that joined in the fun. 

We were painting on a creek bed and I found inspiration in every direction.   We explored black and white studies inspired by the Notan theory. 

I used acrylic paint in gray scale as an underpainting, laying in the design. I then mixed my colors and divided them by value on the palette.  

I painted this in the studio, trying to apply what she taught us. 

This is available for purchase. $350.00
