Horsepasture River Barn, Contemporary Landscape Paintings by Arizona Artist Amy Whitehouse

20" x 20" x 1.5" Oil, $600

Day 4 of CHALLENGE 30/30

30 Paintings in 30 Days

Trying different techniques on the same subject, 

this barn in North Carolina.

This was painted primarily with R&F pure pigment sticks

as well as some traditional oil paint.

What I am liking about this 30 day challenge

is that I am REQUIRED to paint everyday.

So laundry, vacuuming, errands, etc.

all have to wait.  Maybe until February.

(I'm already planning to have an everyday painting challenge in February.)

Day 3 of 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge

Loving this challenge as it gets me painting in the studio early on 

in the day, before I'm consumed with other "important things."

Day 43, Project 125 Yamhill, Oregon Red Barn oil landscape painting BECKY JOY

Today I played with color after finishing my large barn painting, Yamhill Barn, 30"x40" oil. I felt like a nocturne. I had had this one in my mind for a couple of weeks. It was one that I was going to paint larger, but I thought I would try it first in a small size. I'm not sure if I will go larger with it or move on. I need to get some sunsets going in larger sizes. That may be next on the agenda.

In this painting I used a small range of colors keeping them grayed with subtle differences between them. It is always tricky to get enough light in the painting, but dark enough to tell the viewer it is nighttime. Without enough light it is just a dark painting. I like to have some definite light hitting an object to create more interest in a nocturne. In this one the moon is outside the field of vision.

Day 13, Project 125 Painting Oregon farms by BECKY JOY

© 2013 Becky Joy       Oregon Farme, Trees and More Trees      oil   6 inches x 6 inches

I finally made it to my destination in Oregon late last night. It was a light, typical rain almost all through my drive in Oregon.  I slept in this morning, but did get out for a short time later in the day. In this scene I was attracted to the clouds that enveloped the top of the mountain and of course, the green field.

Everything is pretty green right now, and a nice, pleasant temperature. It will be heating up by the end of the week, sounds like record temps to me. I visited with family today and will be seeing friends and more family while I'm here. I'm a fourth generation born in Oregon City (my son was a fifth). You can imagine that I have a lot of relatives here. It's funny every time I come up here, I'm struck by how green it is, certainly compared to the desert. Summers are perfect in the Northwest.

Tomorrow I'm hoping to start getting out and doing a little more plein air, hopefully early in the morning. You'll see what I see tomorrow.

I still have space in my one day workshop in Hood River, OR on Sept 4 during the plein air event that I will be judging. Check out the details here.

I'll be here tomorrow.

Day 12, Project 125 Susanville, CA Barn plein air painting

© 2013 Becky Joy    Susanville, CA Barn      oil      6 inches x 6 inches    

I didn't get out of Lake Tahoe until almost 11:00. (I had to stop by the post office to get something in the mail that was overdue, oops!) Anyway, got my work done and posted my painting from the night before.

I remember Susanville from years ago going through there on the way to Reno from Oregon. I don't know why it has always stuck in my mind, but I do love those old barns and farms. In this barn I got a great shot of an old truck, which is below. I'll have to paint that later.

It was afternoon by the time I got in Susanville. I was struck by the beautiful blues of the mountains. That blue always seems indescribable in paint. It's kind of an ultramarine & colbalt combination. In this painting I placed the light of the sky against the dark of the barn, adding a little yellow and cad red to the white, just a tiny, tiny bit. I very seldom use a pure white in a painting and only sparingly.

"Fairy Prairie" by Li Hua Mahalik

Oil on Canvas, 14x18

*****

This painting was based on a photo I took in yarnell that wasn't color correct because the printer sort of ran out of ink, but I thought it could be a nice exercise to see how I could make it work. 

While I was painting the bushy grass at the foreground, I suddenly realized why Van Gogh painted the landscape the way he did. The world is full of texture; how else can one paint, for example, the grass, to show how the wind had worked on it? The trees, and the winding roads.
