Poppies in the Sunrise
10x20 oil on canvas
This painting was inspired from a garden on a very busy road. When I saw the bright red poppies, I turned around. This garden also had roses, peonies and small yellow flowers. Add all that and the rising sun was a painting in the makings. Using the palette knife and carving this scene out was a fun exercise.

Painted Meadow Demo
14x11 Oil on wood panel
I created this as a demo for the Lake Granbury Art Association. I used my plein air sketch, a preliminary drawing and photo to create this. I discussed plein air painting and the use of the palette knife. I changed the format from landscape to portrait. It was a fun night with a great group of artist.

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.

Floral Kaleidoscope
8x10 oil on gallery wrapped canvas
Spring has sprung and I am surrounded by bright happy flowers. This is a warm up to what is inspiring me recently. I pre mixed my colors and with the palette knife I dabbled the paint on. I purposely left the first layer of alizarin crimson peeking through.

Thank you to a new collector and Dutch Art Gallery for sending this one off to a new home. This was a gift for a long lost loved one. They connected and she brought gifts of geraniums. This painting will remind them of that first meeting.
I love it when a painting connects to someone in a meaningful way. They sent this photo to share.
Hats off to Pam and Nick at Dutch Art Gallery for providing a beautiful frame and service.
Poppies Field Forever
11x14 oil on canvas
For a lover of color, its was a thrill to see the colorful landscape filled with poppies. This is inspired from the wildflower seed farm in Fredericksburg, Texas. The wild flowers were popping with color in the morning sun.

Sun Block
11x14 oil on canvas
This painting is based on one I created on location in Fredericksburg. I wanted to push it in a different direction. Using the palette knife I blocked in colors building up the layers. I built this one square at a time.

Blue Front 20x16 oil on canvas
This is a house I walk by in my neighborhood. I loved the light and colorful trim and have thought about painting it for a while. I took artistic liberty and planted this garden out front. It is filled with texture and eye popping colors.

Fresh View
20x16 oil on canvas
We took a country drive recently and passed by this bright red house. It has a garden of roses at the front gate. I had a vision of of bright and happy hollyhocks instead. I took out my artist license and it seemed to paint itself. Here's to warmer days and fresh views.
Humming By, Sheri Jones
20x16 oil on canvas
I just completed this from a smaller study I did last year. I love the visits I get from the hummingbirds and wanted to include one in this painting. This is filled with eye popping color. I created it using a palette knife for texture and a brush for details. A joy filled canvas.

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.

Garden Light
12x9 oi on canvas panel
This was painted at Chandor Gardens a few years ago. I brought it out and made a few adjustments recently. Over time it becomes obvious where changes need to be made for improvement. Working on this reminded me of the pleasure I get when visiting a blooming garden.

Summer Courtyard
14x11 oil on canvas
This was created at the Chandor Gardens in Weatherford. I met up with 10 other artist that came out to enjoy the peaceful setting. We were all set up within a safe distance.. We all focused on different subjects and came away with some nice paintings. It was a joy to be outside creating art with fellow artist.

Thistle Way
20x16 oil on gallery wrapped canvas
This was created in the studio from a couple of painting sessions on the river. The walk back to the car provided little pops of color with the wild thistles gracing the landscape. I completely changed up the color scheme by premixing colors of my choice. I sketch out big shapes and applied the paint using a palette knife. I left some of the warm underpainting showing.

Facing the Sun 16x20 oil on gallery wrapped canvas
I was fortunate to paint at a field of giant sunflowers recently. I have been painting them in my dreams every since. I was looking for patterns, shapes and movement in this landscape. Using a palette to introduce texture and color in the sky is what I imagined.

Smile for Miles 11x14
Seeing fields of these happy sunflowers brings a smile to my face. A small group of artist joined me to take advantage of this wonderful opportunity. The winds were strong with clouds moving quickly. The dust storm brought in a interesting light. The sunflowers were still glowing for miles.
