Prairie Fest Cactus by Sheri Jones

8x10 oil on canvas

I created this during the Prairie Fest in Fort Worth this past Saturday.  The day turned out beautiful, but very windy. I found this cluster of blooming cactus on the street  and out of the wind. I was thrilled to find both! I created this with a palette knife and lots of colorful paint.  This was sold to my good friend Doug. Thank you!

My sister Pam and her husband Dan were in Hawai during the opening reception at my solo show in Granbury. They were unable to attend, but sent these beautiful flowers straight from the island.  It was such a treat to receive this special delivery.  They made a beautiful center piece for the show. I knew I had to paint them.  This was painted with a palette knife.

Tulips by Sheri Jones

8 x 10

I attempted to create a painting similar to this a year ago. The painting didn't work out and should have been a wiper. I was working from a set up in the studio and took some photos for future reference. The light was appealing in the photo I thought I would give it another try.  I like this one much better. This painting is available for purchase through

I was inspired to paint this after going through my photos from the Texas Hill Country. We travelled there during their peak last Spring and were rewarded with lots of photos.

This was painted with a palette knife and lots of colorful paint. This painting is available for purchase through Dutch Art Gallery, Dallas, Texas

Desert Bloom by Sheri Jones

Desert Bloom by Sheri Jones

12 x 16 oil on raymar canvas panel

This painting was inspired by a photo I took in the Big Bend area. On Monday I had jury duty and I sat in a courtroom all morning. I started this painting before I left and all I wanted to do was to get back to my studio to finish it. I was released after 2:00 and raced home. This explosion of color is a result of me being bottled up. The paint was flying!

This painting is available for purchase.
