China Cups by Sheri Jones

China Cups by Sheri Jones

10 x 8 oil on Raymar canvas

This was painted in my friend, Linda Reedy's new studio. It's close to where I work and I was fortunate to dash over and join her and Doug Clark.  She has a great new space with all her still life models organized by color. I picked all cool colors and found the clementine orange for a little pop. This painting is available for purchase. $100.00

Ten Minute Study-Pepper by Sheri Jones

Ten Minute Study-Pepper by Sheri Jones

8 x 16 oil on Raymar panel.

This was inspired by a challenge posted on Daily Paint Works. This week's challenge was posted by Carol Marine. The rules were to divide your canvas into squares and do 10 minute studies. Set a timer and stick to 10 minutes. This is a great exercise and forces you to make quick decisions. You learn to make efficient strokes. Next time I will make sure and have plenty of paint mixed up. I can see doing more of these they were such fun. This painting is available for purchase. $150.00

I bought these lilies at the market and they had about 10 buds on them. They opened slowly and and were the perfect models for painting. This painting comes with lots of paint and texture.

8 x 10 oil on Raymar Canvas panel
This is a painting I did during our paint out with the Outdoor Painter's Society. We painted inside in the morning. There were three stilll lifes set up and one model to paint from. It was a good choice to be in with temperatures in the 40's outside. The temperatures rose to 80 before the day was out. It's always great to paint with other artist and see their approach to the same subject. This painting is available for purchase. $100.00

Stargazer Lily by Sheri Jones

Stargazer Lily by Sheri Jones

14 x 11 oil on Raymar canvas panel

The highlight of my Friday was going to the grocery store to buy flowers for the weekend. They were fully stocked and had a wide variety to choose from. I was excited to get started with this one. The background started out as a deep red and it wasn't working. I changed it to green and that really made the lilies pop. I painted this with a lot of thick paint letting the layer of red show thru. This painting is available for purchase. $150.00

A Jar of Peppers by Sheri Jones

A Jar of Peppers

10x10 oil on canvas

With cooler temperatures, I enjoy gathering items for still lifes and working indoors. I found the peppers in the frig and thought their bright colors would be a good subject for today's project. This was a fun challenge creating the clear glass of the mason jar. The cloth seemed to pull it all together.

This painting is available for purchase. $125.00
