End of Cripple Creek Road

8 x 10 oil on canvas

My friend, Jill Randall helped me take my paintings to town for my upcoming show. We both had the afternoon free and quickly decided we should go paint. She likes to paint outside as much as I do.   We found this spot a short drive from home. We saw inspiration all around us and plan to return soon.

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

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

Two Poppies by Sheri Jones

8 x 10 oil on canvas

I took a photo of this poppy garden in downtown Fort Worth. Someone planted a wildflower garden on an empty lot. They turned an unsightly lot into a beautiful little haven. My friend Kathy and I walked through it taking photos. Painting this was a great reminder of our little field trip.

This painting is available for purchase. $100.00
