Log Cabin by Artist of Texas, Sheri Jones

Log Cabin
9 x 12 oil on canvas

I painted this at the cabin we stayed in near Bryce Canyon in Utah. What a wonderful retreat! This 100 year old cabin is one of the original structures on this property. The cabin we stayed in looked as rough at one time, but was restored. The owner hopes to restore this one some day.  I was fascinated with the history of this old structure. 
While I was painting here I was surrounded by cows. I predict there will be cow paintings in my future!
I loved there curiosity and musical moos.  This is available for purchase. $250.00

My Garden Sunflowers by Artist of Texas, Sheri Jones

My Garden Sunflowers

Painting in my own garden is a great way to spend a Saturday morning.   I find it easier to paint the larger canvases when I do. I always start with a paint brush and draw the basic structure. I paint the dark areas next . I quickly switch over to the palette knife and let the paint fly.  This is available for purchase. $650.00

Crape Myrtle Shadows by Artist Sheri Jones

Crape Myrtle Shadows 
12x9 oil on canvas

I painted this in my front yard. This crape myrtle is over 25 years old  and is what greats me everyday. I drove up one morning and was struck by the great shadows and strong highlights the morning sun made. I started painting this on the morning my 4 year great niece stayed over to paint. I set her up with an easel and let her create her own garden painting. It was such fun watching how happy this made her. She is an artist in training.  I returned the next day to finish it.   This is available  for purchase. $250.00
