I placed the vase of tulips on a colorful tablecloth.
Next I blocked in the flowers and studied the values
(darks and lights).
And then the fun began with color!

BECKY JOY Alabama plein air farm painting
Time 11x14 oil on canvas panel.
Hi everyone,
I'm not getting a lot of painting done this week. I have two plein air events and a workshop to prepare for. So, for now I am posting the paintings from the plein air in Gadsden that I participated in earlier this summer (during the tornado, but that is another story). I just received the paintings in the mail so I had the chance to look at them again and a couple of them make adjustments. I also pitched two of them. They didn't look so good at second glance.
The day I painted this one, I was painting at a farm in Gadsden, Alabama. After finishing one painting, I went down the road and saw this old abandoned farm. I love the old buildings with a history and story. I’m not sure what the last use was. The top looked like a house, the bottom like a lean-to barn. Anyway, the blue/violets of the structure contrasted with the wild yellow flowers in the field. The vine was growing up the chimney and the fence posts were falling down. All things that I love to paint, that wild, unkept look.When I got this one home, I deepened the value on the building and grayed the background trees a little more. I also added a little more variety in the grasses in the foreground.
Talk to you all later.
