"Days Are Numbered"
11" x 14"  oil/linen
Framed $375
Unframed $345

I painted this on location a couple of years ago and it was a good thing I did. As I was painting this barn a survey crew was walking around the property marking off the property line and putting out stakes. As Larry the Cable Guy would say "And there's your sign". Two weeks later the barn was gone and I'm sure this painting is the only record that it ever existed. Now in its place is the new S.P.C.A. building.

Today is the last day of my first annual holiday sale. The paintings will still be available for sale on my website throughout the month and then I will pull them from the market forever. To view the remaining  eight paintings visit my website at http://rustyjonesstudio.com/

HOLIDAY ART SALE #7

"On the Border"  9" x 12"
Framed $375
Unframed $345
This painting was done last Spring on the movie set in Big Bend National Park. To the right is Texas and to the left New Mexico. This is about as good as it gets for a plein air painter. It is real easy to modify the landscape and change things to one's whimsey when painting on location, but I set out to capture this scene exactly as I saw it and am very pleased with the result.


Included with the purchase of "On the Border" is a complimentary copy of my new 2013 In Celebration of Nature wall calendar. You can preview all twelve paintings in the calendar elsewhere in this blog, just scroll down. To see all twelve paintings in the Holiday Art sale go to my website at www.rustyjonesstudio.com.

HOLIDAY ART SALE #6

"Prescott Snow"  9" x 12"  oil/linen
Framed: $375
Unframed: $345 

I will always have special (painful) feelings about this painting. On the morning we were heading north of Prescott to find snow scenes I suffered a corneal abrasion which means two to three layers of my cornea (the white part of my eye) got stuck to my eyelid as I was asleep and when I went to open my eyes rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrip! If you have never had a corneal abrasion consider yourself lucky, it is very painful.  

I should have gone to the emergency clinic, but I was determined to paint in the snow. As I painted this scene the bright reflected light bouncing off the snow into my eye was almost too much to bear and I painted the entire scene through watery, painful squinty eyes. I think I finished a two hour painting in about 45 minutes.  

Included with the purchase of "Prescott Snow" is a complimentary copy of my new 2013 "In Celebration of Nature" calendar and the price of shipping is included in the sale price.

HOLIDAY ART SALE-#5

"Big Bend Heat"   9" x 12"   oil/linen
Framed:  $375
Unframed: $345

Without question this is my favorite all-time painting I've done in my three trips to Big Bend. It had to be 120 degrees where I was standing along side the south loop. I remember drinking six bottles of water in the two hours it took to do this painting. I typically paint early in the morning and late in the afternoon at Big Bend because of the heat, but the midday light on this scene was more than I could handle. If it sells I will miss seeing this painting in my studio.


A complimentary copy of my new 2013 "In Celebration of Nature" calendar is included with every painting purchased during the Holiday Art Sale.

HOLIDAY ART SALE-DAY 4


"River Bridge"  9" x 12"  oil/linen
SOLD

This river bridge is one of three such bridges that cross the San Antonio River in downtown San Antonio. I painted this on location while standing in a flower bed below the Little Rhine Steakhouse. With a balcony full of spectators watching over my shoulder and countless more that actually climbed into the flower bed to see what I was painting, I should have charged admission. I've painted this bridge a dozen times and I enjoy the experience every time.

I am including a complimentary copy of my new 2013 "In Celebration of Nature" calendar with every painting purchased during the Holiday Art Sale.
