Sunshine Garden, New Contemporary Floral Painting by Sheri Jones

Sunshine Garden

14x11 on gallery wrapped canvas

I tried a different approach with this painting. I wanted to keep the background colorful and loose. I found the contrasting colors of the larkspur and sunflowers eye stopping. I applied the paint with a palette knife, creating the texture I was going for.

Show Flowers by Sheri Jones

Show Flowers by Sheri Jones

16 x 8 oil on Raymar canvas panel

My sister Pam and her husband Dan were in Hawai during the opening reception at my solo show in Granbury. They were unable to attend, but sent these beautiful flowers straight from the island.  It was such a treat to receive this special delivery.  They made a beautiful center piece for the show. I knew I had to paint them.  This was painted with a palette knife.

20 x 10 oil on canvas

I created this as a commission for a customer that saw a small version in my show in at Tarleton's State University- Dora Lee Langdon Center in Granbury.  It is always helpful to paint a study before painting on a large canvas and this one was seemed to paint itself.  I painted this one with a palette knife and lots of thick paint.

I took a photo of this poppy garden in downtown Fort Worth. Someone planted a wildflower garden on an empty lot. They turned an unsightly lot into a beautiful little haven. My friend Kathy and I walked through it taking photos. Painting this was a great reminder of our little field trip. This painting is available for purchase. $100.00

10 x 8 oil on canvas.
I was inspired to paint this after going through my photos from the Texas Hill Country. We travelled there during their peak last Spring and were rewarded with lots of photos. I wanted to paint something that excited me. The vibrating orange against the bright blue was what I was looking for. This photo reminded me of all I have to look forward to with Spring approaching.
This was painted with a palette knife and lots of colorful paint. This painting is available for purchase. $100.00
