plein air oil nocturne and sunset by BECKY JOY

Sky #13 5x7 oil  $110.  BUY

I painted this little nocturne last night. I set up a little earlier than the night before and a little closer to the street. Because it was earlier, there was a little more action on the street with cars, porch lights, people walking and that big orange/gold moon. I notice that I have a little glare on the left of the painting. I'll have to try the photo again. The dark colors can sometimes be hard to keep from getting a glare, but its not too bad.

I also finished this 24x30 today. I had started this last week when I gave a demo, then set it aside when I came home. I wasn't totally pleased with the composition. This morning I figured out what I wanted to do with it, so it was paint all day. I've posted this one on my website, www.beckyjoy.com. I'm counting this one as sky #14 even though it is bigger.

Well, now its time to start packing. I just want to remind all of you that I will not be on ustream this next week, but probably the following Tuesday. My posting will be sporadic this next week. 

Talk to you all later,

Sky #7/100 series by BECKY JOY

Sky #7 5x7 oil on canvas panel

My daily painting didn't go well today. I tried another painting and the jury is still out on it. I'll have to look at it for a while. I'm not sure if I like it. This was my second daily sky. I'm much more pleased with this one.

I've started on a painting marathon here. I've been really excited about what I'm painting and going through unfinished and finished paintings and tweaking them. I've also gotten a couple of new ones done. I've been trying to get some larger pieces and sunsets for galleries finished. Today was a good day other than my first daily painting. I guess I needed a warm up.

I have a workshop coming up Oct 21, 22 & 23 in Phoenix. There are still 2 openings. If you are interested in details, email me at beckyjoy@beckyjoy.com

#3 cloudscape painting of 100 series by BECKY JOY

Sky #3 6x6 oil 

The Sky is the Limit, series of 100

The diagonal line in the foreground is offset by the diagonal in the clouds and the tall tree on the left. I kept working on this trying to get the sky light enough, but still enough color in it. In the light parts of the sky I used Cad lemon yellow, cad yellow light, dioxazene purple, ultramarine and cad orange. the clouds have the same colors with the addition of quinacridone rose and cad red light. The foreground is a lot of my left over paint making grays.

I hope to get a larger sunset painted this weekend. I need more in my inventory. These three have already given me ideas for my larger pieces. Come back to view #4 coming up soon.
