Hawaiian Flowers Study by Sheri Jones

Hawaiian Flower's Study by Sheri Jones

12 x12 oil on canvas

I created this from flowers I received from my sister. She was in Hawaii visiting her husband's family and sent them to me.  This was the second painting I did from the flowers. Each flower had it's own unique shape and color I wanted to do each one seperately, but together.

I created this as a commission for a customer that saw a small version in my show in at Tarleton's State University- Dora Lee Langdon Center in Granbury.  It is always helpful to paint a study before painting on a large canvas and this one was seemed to paint itself.  I painted this one with a palette knife and lots of thick paint.

Gray Day Study by Sheri Jones

Gray Day Study by Sheri Jones

9 x 12 oil on Raymar canvas panel

I painted this at a Jill Carver plein air workshop in Waxahachie, Texas. She is a skilled and talented teacher. She packs a lot of information in her workshops. If you ever get a chance to take from her I would jump at it.  The main lesson on this day was recognizing and applying the right value.  The gray grain towers against the gray day was perfect for this.
