Valentine Red Poppies

Valentine Red Poppies 12x9 oil on canvas


There is something about February that brings out the red paint in me.  This poppy field was on view at the Wild flower seed farm in Fredericksburg.  I've seen these growing in the wild in the Texas Hill Country and it is an delight to see.

Sun Dappled Azaleas

Sun Dappled Azaleas 16x20 oil on canvas

We had a wedding to attend in the Japanese Gardens in Ft. Worth. We arrived just was the sun was setting and casting a golden light on everything. This was in early March, so a lot of the spring bushes were in bloom. It was a magical walk through the gardens to join the wedding party. 
Check out the time lapse videos (3) of the creation of Sun Dappled Azaleas on instagram. Sherijonesart.  There is a link to IG on my web site.

Peach Blossoms

Peach Blossoms 12x9 oil on wood panel

 This was inspired from painting on location with my friend, Jill. These wild peach blossoms are some of the first of the spring color. These were a bright light in the gray landscape.  I created this using a palette knife adding texture to these lovely blossoms.

Pink 8x10

Pink 8x10 oil on canvas

It's the time of the year when all the stores have poinsettia for sale. When I saw this shade of the pink ,I grabbed it.  I waited for the sun to come out and the weather to allow me to paint outside and did this.  Painting from life is the way to go.

Merry Christmas

They have spent a lot of time and money developing a new section of the garden. It comes complete with stream and new pond.  The flowers are at their peak now and filled with color.
