Snap Dragon Garden, New Contemporary Landscape Painting by Sheri Jones

Snap Dragon Garden

14x7 oil on canvas

I created this at the Ft Worth Botanical Gardens one fine afternoon.  There was a gentle breeze, shade and colorful inspiration.  Painting on location has it's challenges, but also it's rewards.  It was a slice of heaven.

Dancing Trees, New Contemporary Landscape Painting by Sheri Jones

Dancing Trees 

24x30 oil on canvas

This was created in the studio from a small study. The original scene was pretty drab and colorless. The trees were full of action and movement and I knew I had to go big on this one. I jazzed it up with cool colors thru layer and layer of paint. 

This is available for purchase.

Please email me if you are interested.

Thank you for viewing my art.

Knock Out Roses by Artist of Texas, Sheri Jones

Knock Out Roses 

12x12 oil on canvas

It was my turn to gallery set at Shanley House during the Lake Granbury Art Association Spring Festival of Art show. I brought the roses from my garden, set up this still life and got to work. I used the brush and thinned down paint to wash the background  in. I drew the roses in with a brush and added thick paint with a palette knife developing the roses. It was created all in one setting. This is available for purchase. $250.00

Rainy Siena by Sheri Jones

Rainy Siena

12x12 oil on canvas

This was inspired from my trip to Italy in September. It was raining in Siena when we approached the Piazza del Campo. The  brightly colored umbrellas really popped against the gray skies and buildings.  I loved the feel of this city with the ancient buildings and it's history.

This is the piazza where the Palio di Siena takes place. This horse race runs around the Piazza del Campo twice each year. The event is attend by large crowds and is widely televised.
  Siena is also the home of the Siena Cathedral (Duomo). It begun in the 12th century and is a great example of Italian Romanesque-Gothic architecture. Touring this cathedral was one of the highlights of our trip. 

This is available for purchase. $250.00

A Stalk of Hollyhocks by Sheri Jones

A Stalk of Hollyhocks by Sheri Jones

12x34 oil on canvas

This painting was inspired from a painting trip to the Botanical Gardens in Ft. Worth. I painted with friends that day, and took lots of photos of the blooming hollyhocks. I loved painting this is in the airconditioned studio. It was 115 today!

This odd shaped canvas lent itself well to the tall stalks of the hollyhock. The paint is applied thickly with the palette knife and is full of texture. This painting is available for purchase. $350.00
