Cattail Waters- Spring
"Cattail Waters - Spring"
Oil on canvas, 12" X 16" $550
After several rainy and snow Spring days in the Rockies the sun finally came out. The meadow was fresh and the sun drenched the cattails with light. There are signs of Spring despite yesterdays snow. The interplay and similarities between the sky, water, earth and plants fascinates me.

"Dorothy's Pot of Flowers" by Li Mahalik
Oil on Panel, 9"x12"
*****
My 90-year-old neighbor, Dorothy, had this beautiful pot of flowers on her patio, glowing in the morning sun. I borrowed it and carried it home. it was heavy. I put it in front of my studio and painted it as a study. The objective was to show the sun and the shadow, and it turned out to be quite a fun project.
If you're interested in this or other paintings of mine, feel free to email me.

Ezine art articles and youtube video by BECKY JOY
Fall Aspen 10x8 "the block in"
The finished "Fall Aspen" oil. It's still 10x8.
Its been a while since I painted some aspen trees. I always feel a little trepidation when tackling something that I don't feel real comfortable with. I get that lost feeling, like I'm unsure of myself.
I've painted a lot of all aspen, but as I said, it's been a while. Several years I was showing in a gallery in Aspen, CO (they are no longer in business). They asked me to paint about 12 paintings of fall aspen for a show in the fall, of course. I complied, which is normal with me. I hurried and painted 12 paintings of various sizes, the largest, I think was 36x48 and shipped them off in about a month's time. They had the show and sold a few, then that was the end of it. I think they were in the back room for the winter. I tried talking to them telling them that I could paint something besides fall aspen, but that was all they were interested in. After very little comunication and difficulty in dealing with the gallery, I pulled out of there and that was the end of my time in Aspen. I've since painted a few plein air fall aspen and a couple of studio ones. Maybe I'll do more now. I really enjoyed the color in this painting.
I put together a video yesterday of the sunset painting that I painted yesterday. Oh, I guess I didn't post it. I'll do that now along with the video.

QUADRUVIUM
QUADRUVIUM
By PAT STACY
QUADRUVIUMacrylic on canvas 7" x 21.5" x 1.5"
A quadruvium is a place where 4 roads meet, a crossroads,
or in medieval times, the 4 subjects in a medieval
university that created the whole of the curriculum.
I thought this was an apt way to name this series,
each work containing 4 pieces connected by some
means--in this case, dowels. This is the first, and
is already sold, but I have 2 more completed and several
planned. If you are interested in purchasing one, please
contact Pat Stacy at 602-290-3009 or pastacy@cox.net.

Marsh Reflections
"Marsh Reflections"
Oil on Canvas, 8" X 10" $250
From a recent trip to the Park city Utah area. I looked at this scene and wondered are the reflections real, what is the difference between the sky and the water, or the plants and their reflections? The color matches are intriguing and beguiling. Why paint this scene? To explore these questions and to experience colors. A pretty scene? Hopefully! But a scene that causes questions.

BECKY JOY colorado landscape and stream painting
Mountain Jewel 10x8 oil Click here to buy.
Yay! Another good day of painting. I started in the closet with the primer, then the final coat of paint in the closet. After lunch it was in the studio where I painted this 10x8. I used several photos to compose this painting. I wanted the group of trees to be the predominately dark shape in the scene.
I used a cad red underpainting on this one. It was basically a cool scene with the greens and the mountains. I thought the red under coat would warm the scene up. By scratching out the grass and along the shore in a few places the cad red shows through helping to warm it up.
I have just booked a 3 day plein air workshop in Prescott, AZ for $150. on July 11, 12 and 13 from 9 to 4 pm. The class will be based at my friend Marla's ranch. There are lots of interesting things to paint in the high desert in this area. It should be fun. Go to my website for more info.
I just put out my newsletter for May, a little late, but hey, it's out. If you want to subscribe, do so athttp://www.beckyjoy.com/newsletter/
Well, tomorrow will be sheetrock taping on the second closet.
Talk to ya all later,

Arizona plein air painting workshop by Becky Joy
Lake Rocks 9x12 oil
The Source 9x12 oil
OK, I don't know what the deal is with blogger. I posted these yesterday and it wasn't here today. I swear I did, I really did. Anyway, I painted both of these after two futile, unproductive days of wipe outs. I guess the old addage, " we have bad days to appreciate the good ones" applies here. Some days do you all feel like you just don't know how to paint and need to start over? That was me two days ago. This business can certainly have it's ups and downs.
I've been busy now painting one of the closets after sheetrocking and texturing. And, I still haven't been fired!
Today I should get some painting done this afternoon.
I also wanted to let you know that I have booked a time for a 3 day plein air workshop in Prescott, AZ at my friend Marla's ranch for July, 11, 12, 13 from 9 am to 4 pm for $150.
I will do a quick demo each day concentrating on different subject matters.
In the workshop, I will discuss composition, the basics of plein air painting, where to start, decisions to make and the steps to get to the final results. I'll talk about color, values and brushwork. We will use both the brush and the palette knife. I will go from student to student helping with each of their individual needs. At the end of the workshop we will have a critique for those that wish to participate.
I encourage each student to paint on a smaller size canvas, 11x14 the largest. The more you paint, the more you learn. So, if you are able to do 2 or 3 small ones in one day, you will learn more than painting 1 large painting.
For my list of supplies go to: http://www.beckyjoy.com/The only color that I would encourage you to add to your basic palette would be dioxazene purple.
Deadline for signup is July 5. You can mail me a check or go to my website
Talk to you all later,

"Last of the Snow"
"Last of the Snow"
Oil on Linen, 9" X 12"
$375
Seasonal transitions give artists wonderful time to create an art piece that moves from the past to the present. Near Park City, Utah this scene struck me as one of those special moments. The snow lingers but the plants are ready to burst forth. The promise of the sun is reflected in the snow and produces the shadow lines. The patterns are fascinating, and the eye can wander of into the barren trees.

GEORGIA'S FLOWERS5" x 7" canvas panel acrylic
This painting was done for a friend of mine who
had an injury on her foot that kept her in a nursing
home while she received therapy---and recover she
did!! It was such fun to do something that would make
my friend smile. The flowers are imbedded in heavy
clear gel that give it the beautiful transparency and
depth. Not for sale, of course, but thought I would
share anyway. Pat Stacy pastacy@cox.net

Arizona cave creek jewel oil landscape by BECKY JOY
Jewel of the Creek 6"x6" oil
Well, back to painting in the studio today. I started this painting a couple of months ago using an 8x10 plein air that I had painted on Cave Creek. I liked the colors in the painting, but felt that the composition was all over the place. In this painting I simplified the composition.
When I first started painting this one, it was a frustrating day. It just seemed liked nothing was going right. One of those bad painting day. After wiping the painting off two or three times, I took a paper towel to it and wiped off where I wanted the light. Those shapes gave me the lights for the composition. So, it was back to this and pick it up today.
I just got my Alyson Stanfield book, "I'd Rather Be in the Studio". I have her previous book and really liked it. This is the updated version. I spent some time last night reading it. This version has updated information on social media and the internet. Fist step, I need to get more organized. When I came home from this trip, I felt a little parlyzed with so many things to get done. I think its list time. I did finish my online traffic school and passed the test. Thank goodness that is over. I hate having things like that hanging over me.
I still have openings in my workshop in Pasadena, 3 days of plein air for $150.
Talk to y'all later.

Carlotta's Poppies
CARLOTTA'S POPPIES
By Scottsdale Artist
PAT STACY
CARLOTTA'S POPPIESAcrylic on Canvas Panel
8" x 10" Framed
This painting is one of my early works. My friend
Carlotta had purchased a bathroom full of poppy
accessories, and for her birthday, I painted this
painting for her. The vase is an antique Spode
vase that belonged to my stepmother, and it really
looks like that. Obviously the painting is not for
sale, but I thought that those of you that know my
abstract work might like to see some of the more
realistic of the work I have done.

"Chamisa", 3x6 mixed media painting by Stevie Denny
Today I did a small watercolor study in my notebook from a photo I took a few years ago. My sister-in-law Michele and I took a road trip to Santa Fe, and on the way back we drove through the Painted Desert. The Chamisa was in bloom, and I loved the bright yellow color against the multi-colored desert landscape. My watercolor painting didn't seem to have enough color, so I added pastels and this is the result.

"Spring Cometh"
"Spring Cometh"
Oil, 8" X 10"
$250
As I travel the West, I come upon scenes that say to me, "paint me." This is one of them. The last of the snow, the trees still barren, but the promise of Spring from the sun. While there is minimal color here that enhances the painting. Where does the trail of snow lead to? More snow or Spring?
This is a plein air piece, or a painting done on site. While i was painting this several people stopped by. One person said, "well that scene is beautiful. I walk here every day, but never really looked at how beautiful that scene is."
