Arizona Nocturne oil landscape by Becky Joy


Harvest Moon Desert Landscape 6"x6" oil 

I love the full moons in the desert. With the clear, dry air you can see so many stars and the light of the moon glows off the plants and hits the desert floor. Beautiful. The yellow orange of the moon contrasts with the blues and violets of the painting.

Arizona artist Becky Joy CA plein air landscape painting

Mailboxes 9X12" oil

This plein air painting from California, I was attracted to the bright yellow oranges against the violets of the fence. It was just wonderful colors in the homes to play with.  As I was painting the scene the mailman came and filled some of those boxes. I had some final touches to do to the painting afterward. I wanted a little more light coming through the fence. I had it too solid and I brightened the blue on the last house. It was mostly in shadow. I thought a touch more blue would complement the warm colors of the painting.

 I've been pretty busy lately with helping Mike on a house that he has been remodeling. I've been the occassional helper, but with putting on the roof, he has needed my help more. So, a little less painting, facebook and twitter. Back in the studio tomorrow.

"Whistle Stop", 16x20 oil painting by Stevie Denny

This was a painting I entered in last week's Centennial Exhibition "One Hundred Years Together"at the Gilbert Music and Arts Fest.  I painted this from a photo I took in Gilbert on November 12, 2011, when the Union Pacific Steam Locomotive 844 stopped in Gilbert as part of the Centennial Celebration.  Just as I was about to snap the photo, a man walked into the picture with his son on his shoulders, waving the American Flag.  I couldn't have planned it any better!

Arizona plein air painter Becky Joy, Carmel Show

Zion Cottonwoods 6x8" oil

This painting is a rework of a plein air that I painted in Zion on a painting trip with my friend, Deb Groesser.
I liked the original painting, but I had a little too much going on. I needed to simplify the scene. So, I made the light and shadows more solid without so much dappled light. I still wanted the dark tree trunks against the light background so that there was a feeling of being under the trees in the shade.

The day was hot and the shade of the trees and a picnic table were very welcome.

Arizona Artist, Becky Joy, still life oil painting

Teapot and Teacup 11"x14" oil on canvas panel

Hi everyone, 
I recently took a workshop from Bye Bitney in an attempt to loosen my style up a bit. I would like to have parts of my painting almost have an abstract quality to them and I have always loved brushwork. This is my attempt to loosen up a bit since the workshop.
We worked almost entirely on figures working from models. It was so instructive, hard work and fun! I needed a few days of recuperation from the workshop. It was to bed early for me almost every night.

Plein air Best of Show at Glendale, AZ

Hi everyone, 
I've had a great week, but busy one. I've had two commissions to finish, which should be tomorrow. Today I took some time off to do to a plein air event in Glendale, AZ. The city hosts a one day plein air show. Last night I decided I had better go to it, because they had some good prizes. I painted two paintings, the first in the old town area of a couple of houses. I spent too much time on it and was off a little on the perspective. Time didn't help it. The second one I went out to Saguaro Ranch Park which is an old farm and citrus orchard. There are also various old buildings and farm equipment. I'm always a sucker for old stuff and junk. I found an old tractor and had a great time painting it. I was really fortunate to get Best of Show and win $1000. So, it was a great day!
Old Tractor 11"x14" oil 

Red Rocks 9"x12" oil 
Reflection 11"x14" oil 
The Fence 8"x10" oil
I found out this week that all three of the paintings, The Fence, Reflection and Red Rocks were accepted to the Salon International Show at Greenhouse Gallery. This is my third year in the show. Such a treat to be in the show. The gallery really respects and treats the artists so well. Also, such an honor to be among some really fine artists.
