Moon light rising oil landscape painting by Becky Joy

Rising Moon oil 6"x6"  $95. bid on ebay.

Hi everyone, I guess I'm getting in the mood for nightscapes. I painted this one today while playing with color. I've always loved those orange rising moons. It was difficult to photograph this painting. The blues always photograph lighter causing the orange moon not to glow as much in the photo as it does in the painting. I tried photographing it again, but came up with the same results. Blue I have found always causes a problem in photography. 

Tomorrow I will post my nightscape, hopefully.  I have an online session of workshops starting in Jan., 4 weeks for $150. Check it out at Art Workshops Online.

Talk to you all tomorrow.

nightscape oil painting by BECKY JOY

Neighborhood Nocturne 5x7 oil on canvas panel. Click here to bid starting at $95.

Hi everyone,

I've been remiss on not posting any new small works. I've had a lot of business things to take care of, packing and shipping paintings, phone calls, show apps, etc, etc.  This is a nocturne from my driveway looking down the street. I don't like going out by myself at night to paint unless I'm in a crowded well lit area, so the next best thing is to go stand at the end of my driveway. It works, but there isn't a lot of traffic or change of scenery, but it's good practice anyway.

Yesterday Christine Debrosky and I went out to find cotton fields and to do some plein air painting for our 5 c's project for the Arizona Centennial. It's harvest time right now in the cotton fields. I didn't come away with a finished painting yesterday that I really wanted to keep, but I did get a lot of reference material. Check out the project on our block, 5 c's Painting Project, Arizona Centennial.
