Artists Of Texas Contemporary Paintings and Art

Wild Red Roses 16" x 20" oil on linen I've recently noticed a new climbing rose by my mailbox that has red roses blooming by the dozens. This particular rose bush was a pleasant surprise, because I never planted it - I love surprises! Here is a photo of Wild Red Roses in progress in my studio: I love to share my art and inspiration.

And We Danced 24" x 12" oil on linen You are invited to Southlake Art in the Square in Southlake, Texas ...this weekend! And We Danced  is my latest painting and I absolutely love how it turned out. It may not be dry enough to display this weekend in my exhibit at Southlake Art in the Square , but I wanted to share it fresh off the easel.  I did some sketches of the peach roses in preparation for this piece. I worked on suggesting light and gesture with as few brushstrokes as possible. Painting roses is challenging. The translucent petals catch the light, reflect the light and throw luminous shadows onto the underpetals. Observing a rose is fascinating to me. Here is a study from this week.

New Work!   The Rose Within                                      Oil                                          12x16   One of my favorite colors to paint is Red.  This is a beautiful little Indian pot I bought in Oklahoma.  I picked a white rose to add to this painting to bring in a lightest light.  The subject matter and the use of color was kept as simple as possible.   Barbara Jones Fine Art http://www.BarbaraJonesFineArt.com Click Here to View my Video   Click here to see my Fine Art Prints http://barbarajonesfineart.com/workshops http://...

    New Work!   The Gift of Lilacs                           Oil                               18x24     This is my attempt of painting flowers again.  It ended up being a lot of fun but challenging for me.  I added the warm copper pot to the composition to compliment the purples and grays.  It was kept in the background so I could highlight the lilacs and creamer.   Close Up View         Barbara Jones Fine Art http://www.BarbaraJonesFineArt.com Click Here to View my Video   Click here to see my Fine Art Prints http://barbarajonesfineart.com/workshops http://barbarajonesfineart.com/email-newsletter   ...

Bowl of Cherries 5" x 7" oil on linen SOLD I love to paint cherries, but had a hard time getting my hands on any to paint over the winter and spring. The other day I was so excited when I found them at the market. I promptly bought 2 bags - one to eat and one to paint. Then I went on a little cherry painting binge. "Bowl of Cherries" just sold, but check my  daily paintworks gallery  to see more cherry paintings! I love to share my art and inspiration.

Pears and Cherries 16" x 12" oil on linen I usually tone my canvas with a neutral, earthy color like raw umber. With this one, I tried something a little different and toned it red. Specifically, I mixed Alizarin Crimson with Burnt Sienna (I'm pretty sure this is Winsor Newton's version of Transparent Oxide Red.) Anyway, since I planned to let some of the tone show through in places, I figured the red would be interesting with the bright, red cherries scattered throughout the composition. It turned out to be a nice effect - glad I took the risk. I love to share my art and inspiration. Click HERE to sign up for my email newsletter and receive a free gift of postcards.
