Beautiful Sunrise by Sheri Jones

Beautiful Sunrise by Sheri Jones

36x24 oil on canvas

I created this in the studio from one of my small field studies. On the morning I created the field study the sun poked through stormy clouds. It was a beautiful sunrise for a minute and I tried my best to capture it. As soon as we left the skys opened up and poured. I used the palette knife to paint this.

River Bank by Sheri Jones

Riverbank by Sheri Jones

8 x 10 oil on canvas

This was inspired by a photo I took in the Willow City Loop area. This is in the Texas Hill Country and a location that is well known for it's wildflowers in the Spring time.  I enjoy the flowers, but the low river bank is a lure for me. I am attracted to the path the water makes and this draws me in.  I created this with a palette knife and lots of paint. This painting is available for purchase. $100.00

Cluster of Cedars by Sheri Jones

Cluster of Cedars by Sheri Jones

10 x 8 oil on canvas

This was created plein air from a location outside Acton Nature Center, Acton, Texas. My painting buddy, Jill Randall went to paint a sunset, but arrived early enough to paint one before. I was attracted to the bright light and deep shadows the late day sun did to the Cedar trees.

Finding a place to park the car and stand with a good view is a challenge. We found an old abandoned restaurant on top of the hill that was perfect for us. This painting is available for purchase.$100.00

View from Cripple Creek Road by Sheri Jones

View from Cripple Creek Road by Sheri Jones

9 x 12 oil on Raymar canvas panel

I painted this today plein air. The weather was windy but warm.  My friend Jill and I took off looking for inspiration and we didn't go far.  We have painted in this area outside Granbury many times, but never went down this road.   We were thrilled to find this location. It was a quite country road with no traffic and so peaceful.  I'll bet we return here soon. 

This painting is available for purchase $120.00

Old Fire Truck by Sheri Jones

Old Fire Truck by Sheri Jones

9 x 12 oil on Raymar canvas panel

I painted this plein air in Grapevine, Texas. We had a gathering of the Outdoor Painters Society on Saturday. There must have been over thirty painters there. The weather was outstanding, reaching 80 degress. I have painted a number of old vehicles and it sure helps when you are out on the streets painting. It was great to get outside and enjoy the warm winter day.

This painting is available for purchase. $125.00

Palo Duro Canyon by Sheri Jones

Palo Duro Canyon by Sheri Jones

20 x 24 oil on wood panel

I created this from a study I painted at Palo Duro Canyon. This is in the panhandle of Texas outside of Amarillo. Palo Duro Canyon is 120 miles long, up to 20 miles wide, and up to 820 feet deep, making it the United States' second largest canyon.

I had a request from a niece to create a painting for her dorm room. She is from Amarillo and wanted one of the canyon. So Happy Birthday Callie! This one's for you. Love you.

Back Road Creek by Sheri Jones

When blue bonnets are at their prime this is a must see. I created this with a palette knife.

Flat Rock Stream by Sheri Jones

Flat Rock Stream by Sheri Jones

12 x 12 oil on gallery wrapped canvas

I painted this in the Paluxy area just outside of Granbury. This section of the road is part of one big flat rock. This makes it easy to work out of the back of your car and not be in danger of passing cars. You can drive up and park anywhere.

I like how this stream leads the eye to the distance hills and brightly colored trees. The colorful trees are fading fast and I was happy to be outside painting them. This was painted with a palette knife and lots of colorful paint.
