Artists Of Texas Contemporary Paintings and Art

Day Moon by Sheri Jones 8 x 10 oil on Raymar canvas panel This was painted on the banks of the Paluxy River back in November. We had access to private property and enjoyed every minute of it. This was about 11:00 and I was amazed the moon was still out. I painted this with a palette knife and lots of colorful paint. Available for purchase $100.00 unframed Email Sheri Jones sheriart.net sheriart.blogspot.com

Flat Rock Stream by Sheri Jones 12 x 12 oil on gallery wrapped canvas I painted this in the Paluxy area just outside of Granbury. This section of the road is part of one big flat rock. This makes it easy to work out of the back of your car and not be in danger of passing cars. You can drive up and park anywhere. I like how this stream leads the eye to the distance hills and brightly colored trees. The colorful trees are fading fast and I was happy to be outside painting them. This was painted with a palette knife and lots of colorful paint. Available $150.00 Sheri@sheriart.net sheriart.net sheriart.blogspot.com

Gallery Demos by Sheri Jones 2- 16 x 20 oil on canvas I painted these today at the Dutch Art Gallery as demonstrations. I was there from 11-4 and fortunate to paint two. I had a great time painting and visiting with everyone. The Artist of Texas Show "Where Texas Finds It's Color" is a beautiful show. It runs thru the end of December and is worth the drive to see.

I created two new videos of my new paintings, and I'm trying to post a link to the shorter one "Texas Historic Churches." We'll see if it works. This is a two-minute video where the other one is six and a half minutes long ... too long (hours) to make and maybe too long to watch.  There is music so leave your audio up to hear it.

Fall Light by Sheri Jones 20 x 16 oil on canvas This was inspired by my desire for cooler temperatures and fall colors. I painted a small study on location last year and took a few photos. I painted this from the photo and it looks totally different than the original study. I used the same colors, but used a different design. The paint was applied with a palette knife and lots of colorful paint. This painting is available for purchase. Sheri@sheriart.net sheriart.net sheriart.blogspot.com

"Fire and Gold" ©2010 Niki Gulley oil on canvas • 36" x 48" I used to love it as a kid when my parents would take me to the forest preserves near our home outside of Chicago. We would spend the whole day bike riding, picnicking and being immersed in nature and I relished this time with my family. In Fire and Gold I wanted to recreate those warm memories, choosing reds and yellows of autumn to heighten those happy feelings and using energetic strokes with my paint reminiscent of a carefree, simpler time.
