Gray Day Terrain, New Contemporary Landscape Painting by Sheri Jones

Gray Day Terrain

8x10 oil on raymar canvas panel

I was in the Granbury area early on Saturday morning looking for a new place to paint. We found this perch on a cliff with great distant views.  I liked the soft colors from the cloudy day.  This was a quick study I created with a big brush. The winds were stronger up on this hill and really motivated this swift color study.  This is available for purchase. $225.00
