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!

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.

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

It was painted with a palette knife and lots of colorful paint.
