River Impressions, New Contemporary Landscape Painting by Sheri Jones

River Impressions

8x10 oil on canvas

I had another opportunity to paint on the Brazos river in Granbury.  The path way on the bank of the river first caught my attention. The wild thistle plants added the color I was looking for.  This was another chance to push color and design.

I have painted at the river recently. The clouds were heavy and I painted gray paintings.  I needed color, so I came home and painted this adding the sun and wildflowers.  The brighter colors have inspired a whole new series with me. Stay tuned...

Painting on location in Granbury on the Brazos River.  This is actually in a "neighbor hood" with homes along this beautiful river.  I have friends that live here and love to get outside as much as I do.  I tried to keep my colors cool to reflect the cloudy day.  It was a challenge for me!

Morning Light Show, New Contemporary Landscape Painting by Sheri Jones

Morning Light Show

12x16 oil on linen panel

I created this as a demo for the Mansfield Art Association.  When planning this painting I did a value study and a small color study. (see below) I've also created a 9x12 of the same scene. When I put so much in the planning the execution is a spontaneous reaction.I touched it up a bit in the studio, signed  it and called it finished.
