sunset clouds oil painting by BECKY JOY

The sunset last night here in Phoenix was really nice. It wasn't a screaming bright one, but soft and subtle. The colors here are reminiscent of that sunset. I used some viridian and titanium white in the sky along with variations of cad red, cad yellow, alizarine, dioxazene purple and ultramarine. Actually, the whole painting used those colors. I place the lighter warm colors on the ground to lead the viewer into the painting and make some interest in the foreground. With the purchase of this painting, you will receive a small black wrought iron display easel so that you have the option of not framing the painting.

I want to remind all of you that I will be on Ustream today at 4pm PDT. I will be using Monday's daily painting as a reference to paint a 24x30 painting. So, tune in at http://www.ustream.tv/channel/becky-joy-artist-oil-painting-in-the-studio
