Day 39, Drifting white clouds plein air oil landscape painting by BECKY JOY

© 2013 Becky Joy     Day 39, Clouds      oil    6 inches x 6 inches    $125.

 Hi everyone,
I didn't paint yesterday. I had a family situation come up and went to my daughter's late on Thursday night. Yesterday I spent the whole day there. She has been having a difficult time lately. She has three children, has been going to school full time, 4 years and now starting her last year. This summer she has been going through a divorce which, like a lot of cases, hasn't been easy. She needed my help yesterday, so I put the paints and computer away and went over there to help. Everything is better, but we are all tired. My oldest grandson is off to football camp in CA now (his second year of varsity as a sophmore and a great kid). The next one, a young teenage girl has been off doing girl things with a friend, each staying overnight at each other's houses (and last night I took them to the movies). The youngest girl who will be in the third grade has just been playing with her neighborhood friend, back and forth to each others homes. All is well there and now all is well with my daughter. I cleaned, made dinner and took some pressure off of her for the day.

So, on to my painting today. I took it easy today, went out on my back patio and painted the passing clouds, a peaceful scene. I also gathered four paintings and frames that I will be shipping off to the Good Art Company Gallery in Fredericksburg, TX. That was the extent of my day and I don't think I'll be making up the painting I missed yesterday. In the scheme of things, big deal. I may have one or two less paintings.

Day 25, Project 125 Baker City Oregon plein air oil landscape painting BECKY JOY

© 2013 Becky Joy     Baker City Oregon Clouds   oil on panel     6 inches x 6 inches  

It is been a challenge with the computer the last couple of days. I left my family in Oregon 2 days ago and have been on the road. I stayed the night in Baker City, Oregon which is in Eastern Oregon. The internet access that I had was verrrrry slow, but I did manage to get some work done. And, that was the problem, some but not all the work. I uploaded my new e-book, but was not able to finish the job. So, those that paid were not getting the e-book. Once I got to my friend, Shanna Kunz' house in Utah I finally got a good connection. This morning I was able to finish everything with the e-book and now trying to catch up with the blogging, emails, etc, etc.

I've got some more photography to take to catch up. But for now, I'm painting with my friend Shanna!

Talk to you all tomorrow.

Day 24, Leaving Willamette Valley Oregon BECKY JOY

OK, I'm falling down on the blogging job, not the painting job. The blogging is much harder!

I'm on the road again. I was busy yesterday working on and finishing my ebook. I now have a pdf ebook, How to Create Better Paintings Using Foundational Concepts. I went through the formatting for Amazon and have wasted some time there uploading it 3 times. I've read the directions, but I'm still having trouble with images....later.

I had an eventful day yesterday or maybe it was Friday. I found out that my painting, Strength and Serenity was accepted to the American Impressionist Society Show. I painted this painting while I was in Yosemite. Nothing like working on a deadline, 2 days to spare! I knew when I left that I didn't have anything to enter and was kind of sweating it. Made it, Yay! Below is the painting Strength and Serenity.

I painted another painting here in Eastern Oregon where I am now, but it was too dark to photograph. So, it will probably be two images tomorrow.

Clouds plein air oil landscape painting by BECKY JOY

© 2013 Becky Joy    Clouds   oil    8 x 10 inches   

Free shipping in US

Plein air oil painting from Telluride. It was a gray day with very little light on the landscape. I couldn't find too much to inspire me where I was except for the clouds. Clouds are always interesting and a moving target when painting. You need to paint the essence of what you see.

Check out my workshops for new ones that are periodically added.

My paintings

"Roses and Bicycle - Homage to Time" by Li Hua Mahalik

Mixed Media with acrylic, ink and crayon, 9x12

Strangely, I'm fond of this painting and felt like writing a poem to go with it:

An Homage to Time

The greying sky,

Like the remnant of a fire,

Lingers on.

The space is empty 

Of your presence,

 

And soon will be filled with the drizzling rain,
Like tears of laughter.

Blue Stardust - Abstract Painting by Jake Beckman

Blue Stardust

Blue Stardust is a serene 11 x 14 x 3/4 inch acrylic painting in the Abstract Concepts series by Jake Beckman. Blue Stardust consists of softly spattered shades of blue and touches of red oxide spiraling inward periodically punctuated with points of white-like someone gathering up the fabric of the night sky.

The Abstract Concepts series encompasses Jake's free form exploration and expression of color, emotion, ideas, textures and structured formlessness, in search of the intrinsic quality of things rather than absolute concrete representation. "I just decided to revisit this particular concept again. I may do so a couple of more times...- Jake"

If you would like to see more detail about the art or perhaps buy it, please see its page on Jake's website.

"Currently I create acrylic paintings in various sizes based of Birds and ASCII Binary based on lighthearted observations of Social Media and Pop Culture. Come Experience the Art!"
