When not in the studio, Sherry enjoys painting en plein air with her artist friends or her husband, Joe, while collecting studies for future studio paintings.
Message
"277 Stories" was inspired by the description and number of stories about that rock which became the town's namesake. An immense cliff overhanging the Johns River Gorge 3000 feet below became one of the paintings I submitted during the Blowing Rock Plein Air Festival 2022. There are so many stories about that rock and the number of stories above the gorge, I decided the title was perfect! Starting as usual with a grisaille underpainting of burnt sienna and keeping it high key to keep with the feeling of dizzying height, I painted the subsequent layers of color to enhance the theme.
