Contemporary Impressionistic Floral Blue Bonnet Landscape Palette Knife Original Oil Painting by Sheri Jones

                                                 A Path to the River

11x14 oil on linen canvas

When I prepared for my demo at Pecan Plantation Art Guild I went out to the location and did several small studies.  I wanted options on what I painted for the group.  This is the first I considered.   Here you can see the photo and small study I worked from.  I loved that the blue bonnets were blooming and scattered about the landscape.  I tried to simplify the design, but decided it was too much for a demo.

These hot pink petunias and golden pansies were a sight I needed to see on canvas. I painted this from my garden and set up in the bright sunlight. The lacy patterns in the shadows were a nice contracts to these screaming light.

From the Garden

14x11 oil on gallery wrapped canvas

Taking the time to plant a garden and reap the benefits are one of my pleasures in life.  This is from a photo I took last year when my sunflowers and larkspurs were blooming. I loved the birds eye view of the blue vase against the round stool it was setting on.

Jim

10 x8 oil on canvas panel

This is a 2 hour painting I did at our drawing group. We meet up at the Shanley House with Lake Granbury Art Association once a week.  Models normally sit for 20 minute sessions,  10 minute breaks for 3 hours.  This was Jim's first time to model for us. He stated it was very relaxing and a good experience.  We are always looking for volunteers!

Terry's Paluxy River

10x20 oil on canvas

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!

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.
