Ten Minute Study-Pepper by Sheri Jones

Ten Minute Study-Pepper by Sheri Jones
8 x 16 oil on Raymar panel.
This was inspired by a challenge posted on Daily Paint Works. This week's challenge was posted by Carol Marine. The rules were to divide your canvas into squares and do 10 minute studies. Set a timer and stick to 10 minutes. This is a great exercise and forces you to make quick decisions. You learn to make efficient strokes. Next time I will make sure and have plenty of paint mixed up. I can see doing more of these they were such fun. This painting is available for purchase. $150.00

A Jar of Peppers by Sheri Jones

A Jar of Peppers
10x10 oil on canvas
With cooler temperatures, I enjoy gathering items for still lifes and working indoors. I found the peppers in the frig and thought their bright colors would be a good subject for today's project. This was a fun challenge creating the clear glass of the mason jar. The cloth seemed to pull it all together.

The was painted in the studio from a set up. My grocery shopping trip is what inspired this painting. I introduced the platter that had a lot of the repeating colors. This was a lot of fun to paint. I documented my process and have posted on my blogspot. Check it out and let me know if you have any question.
