Lane's Garden by Sheri Jones

Lane's Garden by Sheri Jones
16x20 oil on canvas
I painted this today during The Hood and Somervell County Garden Art Show in Granbury at the Plaza.  We have had a lot of traffic for the show. This was also in conjunction with The Wine Walk . This is an event that is a lot of fun.  There were bands, wine sample, food samples, vendors and lots of people. 

The Art Show has been a year long effort by artist and photographers.  We painted in local gardens since last April and showcased our results here. I painted a small study from Lane's Garden last year and this painting was created from that.   This painting is available for purchase. $250.00

Hawaiian Flowers Study by Sheri Jones

Hawaiian Flower's Study by Sheri Jones
12 x12 oil on canvas
I created this from flowers I received from my sister. She was in Hawaii visiting her husband's family and sent them to me.  This was the second painting I did from the flowers. Each flower had it's own unique shape and color I wanted to do each one seperately, but together.
