Fall Festival of Flowers

7x14 oil on canvas

I painted this on my patio recently.  When I started it, the plants were all in the shade.  I focused on the shapes and colors.  By the time I was an hour into it, the sun popped out and produced strong shadows and light.  That is the best part of plein air painting. Things change moment by moment creating spontaneous opportunities.

Bougainvillea

10x8 oil on linen panel

Sold

I created this during the Hidden Garden tour this past weekend. It sold right off the easel. I love it that happens.  The house I painted at was absolutely beautiful and highlighted with these huge pots of bougainvillea.  They were 40 years old and were glowing in the afternoon sun.  The owners move them inside the garage during the winter.  That's the only way to survive and get so large.

First Earth Farm Sunflowers

9x12 oil on linen panel

I had the opportunity to join 8 other plein air painters at First Earth Farm in Bluff Dale yesterday.  There were paintings at every turn.  I was naturally drawn to this scene filled with color.  This is a working farm on the Paluxy river. We painted and then shopped for farm fresh and canned foods. It was a delightful day.

Chasing Sunflowers

11x14 oil on wood panel

Chasing Sunflowers was a plein air piece I started in a beautiful field of sunflowers.

We set up quickly and got to work. As soon as we started the owner showed up and asked us to leave.  He did say we could finish, so we worked quickly.  When I got home it looked like a hot mess. So I scraped the painting and started over! The landscape around this field was so beautiful. I was determined to make this one work.

Red Hot Geraniums

New 12x12 oil on wood cradle board

My garden is a great source of inspiration. I love planting geraniums in this clay pot just for the color alone.  The great shadows are an added bonus.  Painting on a hard service with the palette knife is a great way to build up color and texture. Painted with a joy in my heart.

Painted Meadow

8x10 oil on linen panel

I have plans to do a painting demo at the Lake Granbury Art Association on Monday, May 10th. I will be demonstrating my palette knife process and talking about plein air painting. There is also a workshop coming up on Saturday, May 15th 9-4. Let me know if you would be interested in either and I can provide more info.

The indian paint brush and queen annes lace were a sight I found at Hunter's Park on Lake Granbury. I was so excited to find this combo I returned the next day with paints in hand. This was a quick study and will provide my inspiration for the demo.

A Path to the River

11x14 oil on linen canvas

When I prepared for my demo at Pecan Plantation Art Guild I went out to the location and did several small studies.  I wanted options on what I painted for the group.  This is the first I considered.   Here you can see the photo and small study I worked from.  I loved that the blue bonnets were blooming and scattered about the landscape.  I tried to simplify the design, but decided it was too much for a demo.

I love the finished painting.

Paluxy in Paradise by Sheri Jones

12x9 oil on linen panel

I was blessed to spend the day with friends on the Paluxy River recently. The day started off cold so we bundled up. By the time we made it to the river we were peeling off the layers.  It was a great day painting with friends away from the hustle and bustle of the season.

River Side Impressions by Sheri Jones

10x8 oil on canvas

This is the second quick study I did when I visited the Brazos river in the Pecan Plantation. It is always like a mini vacation when I take the time to go plein air painting. The trees seemed to glow in the morning light, providing the color I search for.

I am always happy with a painting goes home with a new collector and old friend. Thank you! 

I created this while painting with the Outdoor Painters Society in Colorado. This was painted off Turkey Creek Road outside of Pagosa Springs. It was an isolated spot and a wonderful place to spend the day.  I loved this cluster of aspens intertwined with the beautiful fall leaves.

Garden Entrance

20x16 oil on canvas

My garden continues to inspire new paintings.  It is still blooming brilliant flowers with color bursting out. Being in the quiet of the garden is a happy place.  I created a small study before attempting this larger version. It really helps with color and design.  Where flowers bloom so do hope and happiness.
