Chasing Sunflowers

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.

Getting up early to witness a beautiful sunrise was a way to reward myself for going to work. Now that I am retired I can paint those sunrises from photos I took every day, 5 days a week. One of life's sweet rewards.

Poppies in the Sunrise

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.

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.

We gathered to paint the river on a gorgeous winter morning.

The Paluxy river runs thru this area and my friend Terry has property with it flowing through. We painted in the morning and toured the property the rest of the afternoon. This is from a newly developed walking path that leads to the family's swimming hole. I know I want to return and paint here soon!

Nature Center Garden

Nature Center Garden by Sheri Jones

12x9 oil on linen panel

I had a wonderful opportunity to paint at the Acton Nature Center this week. I was drawn to the wooden arbor and the path leading to it.  The asters, greg's mist, red salvia and many other flowers were in full bloom. They were covered in butterflies. It was a delightful morning spending time in the treasured garden.
