Blue by Design by Sheri Jones 6x8 oil on Raymar canvas panel This was painted on location on Country Road 1004, just outside of Glen Rose, Texas. We were in search of bluebonnets on some of the back roads and our friend steered us to this spot. There are so many country roads to explore in this area. This one had great views all around us and a place I would love to return to soon. This was painted with a palette knife.

Beautiful Sunrise by Sheri Jones 36x24 oil on canvas I created this in the studio from one of my small field studies.  On the morning I created the field study the sun poked through stormy clouds.

Springtime Stroll by Sheri Jones 12 x 9 oil on canvas This painting was inspired by a small study I created in the Ft. Worth Botanical Garden. I took a photo of the scene for use in the studio later.

Grain Elevator by Sheri Jones 12 x 9 oil on Raymar canvas panel This was another study completed in the Jill Carver workshop this week. We painted behind the Boyce Feed and Grain Corporation in Waxahachie, Texas. This grain yard was full of activity and a great place for the value study Jill was teaching. I can't wait to get out and practice all she taught us. She packed a lot of information in the three day class.
