Rod's Field

I realized that most of my paintings have been sold. A happy occurrence. If you follow my work you know I do not paint literally but only try to capture the essence of a scene. This is a field on my cousin's farm. It is 20 x 60 with a really nice frame. I am asking $ 975.00 for this painting which I was pleased with. If you decide it would look good in your home I will ship it free with insurance. I do not wish anyone to own one of my paintings they do not love, so feel free to ship it back if you do not like it. Thanks. Terry Jones

North of Sabinal

This painting is an oil and was painted on the road to Utopia, Texas on the road to my mother's house in the country. I have passed by this scene countless times and finally stopped and started the painting on location. I do not know if you are familiar with the Texas Hill Country but it is so peaceful and beautiful it always makes me feel calm and inspired. It is 30 x 48 in size. It has a black frame which I am not too fond of but you can make up your own mind. I am asking $950.00 for this oil. Like I said, if you buy it and do not like it, send it back. I do not want anyone having one of my paintings that does not give them constant pleasure.
Thank you,

Terry Jones

Still Life With Cactus Blossom

It has been awhile since I put anything new here. I plan to get some help with my website and want to start over with one of three or four different sites such as Artspan. I am posting a pastel titled originally "Still Life With Cactus Blossom" but I want to change the title to "Cactus Blues" instead. I won first place in the Still Life division of the Texas Pastel Society's first annual juried competition/show. The juror was Lorenzo Chavez, one of my very favorite artist. So I was quite honored.

Bright Morning and Low Tide

This pastel is 27 x 38, the largest I have done. If you have ever been to Port Aransas, Texas they have the famous south jetty. This was painted at the foot of the jetty. I always have wondered what that jetty rock is doing way off by itself. It had rained the night before but cleared bright and sunny. The rock off by itself was so dark I just had to paint it that way! The price on this pastel is $875.00. It has a wonderful frame around it. I will ship it free and insured.

I just found out today that Andrew Wyeth has died. Mr. Wyeth certainly changed the way I look at art. Up until I first saw Christina's World I thought the only function of a painting was to be as pretty as you could make it. Mr. Wyeth was fierce and frightening in his honesty and it stunned me like I had been struck with a baseball bat. Mr. Wyeth, thank you for opening my eyes.
