Contemporary Impressionistic Floral Still life Palette Knife Plein Air Original Oil Painting by Sheri Jones

Fall Festival of Flowers

7x14 oil on canvas

I painted this on my patio recently.  When I started it, the plants were all in the shade.  I focused on the shapes and colors.  By the time I was an hour into it, the sun popped out and produced strong shadows and light.  That is the best part of plein air painting. Things change moment by moment creating spontaneous opportunities.

Hidden in the Hollyhocks

20x10 oil on canvas

This was inspired from a trip to Pagosa Springs, Colorado. I created it with a palette knife applying the paint in small squares.  I focused on softer edges and colors.

Anna 

20x16 oil on canvas

 I started the new year with a challenge to paint more portraits.  It was a natural choice to paint kids in my family. I have been saving reference photos for years. 

This is sweet Anna celebrating at family birthday party in 2018.

It brought back fond memories of family time at the pool.

This is a house I walk by in my neighborhood. I loved the light and colorful trim and have thought about painting it for a while. I took artistic liberty and planted this garden out front. It is filled with texture and eye popping colors.

Lake Granbury in View

11x14 acrylic on canvas

I'm always delighted to get a peek of the lake from a different view.  This is a from a spot just outside of the Acton Nature Center.  For an added challenge I painted this with acrylic on canvas. Changing mediums is a wonderful way to bring a fresh approach to the creative process.

Sage Bush Glow by Sheri Jones

16x20 oil on canvas

I painted a small study of this scene recently. It helps to work out the color and design, before going large. I just loved the glow of the sage bush as the sun was setting.  The hillside was filled with the sage bush and nice distant views.

River Side Impressions by Sheri Jones

10x8 oil on canvas

This is the second quick study I did when I visited the Brazos river in the Pecan Plantation. It is always like a mini vacation when I take the time to go plein air painting. The trees seemed to glow in the morning light, providing the color I search for.

Nature Center Garden by Sheri Jones

12x9 oil on linen panel

I had a wonderful opportunity to paint at the Acton Nature Center this week. I was drawn to the wooden arbor and the path leading to it.  The asters, greg's mist, red salvia and many other flowers were in full bloom. They were covered in butterflies. It was a delightful morning spending time in the treasured garden.
