Gray Day Terrain, New Contemporary Landscape Painting by Sheri Jones

Gray Day Terrain

8x10 oil on rammer canvas panel

I was in the Granbury area early on Saturday morning looking for a new place to paint. We found this perch on a cliff with great distant views.  I liked the soft colors from the cloudy day.  This was a quick study I created with a big brush. The winds were stronger up on this hill and really motivated this swift color study.

Rain Puddle Reflections, New Contemporary Landscape Painting by Sheri Jones

Rain Puddle Reflections

24x24 Acrylic on canvas

This is a new painting I created in the studio. I did a small study of this same scene and loved the results.  Working a landscape in acrylics was a different process for me. There are layers and layers of paint and took time to evolve. I still loved the process and the end product.  This is available for purchase. $850.00

While I was painting this it must have been in the forties and the winds were blowing.

Sunrise Shimmer, New Contemporary Landscape Art by Sheri Jones

Sunrise Shimmer

16x20 Acrylic on raymar canvas

This was inspired from an outing on Lake Granbury. I met my friend, Joyce Thomas before sunrise. I painted quickly getting several color studies and taking a number of photographs.  

This was painted with acrylics and in the studio. I have found working with acrylics is a new challenge. They dry quicker and darker that oil paintings. I am learning new ways to achieve the textured I like. This is available for purchase. $500.00
