Paint America and Salon International 2011

This last week brought a lot of news about shows for me. I had two paintings selected for Paint America, "Apples" was selected for the Top 50 mini and "Sunlight Through the Oak" was selected for the Top 100.
My painting "Remains of the Rain" was accepted into Salon International 2012 at the prestigious Greenhouse Gallery in San Antonio, TX. On top of all that, I received an invititation to participate in the the Sedona Plein Air Festival next October.

"Apples" 8x10 plein air

Plein air painting revisited by BECKY JOY

Well, I keep on trying to paint these skies. This one is a little grayer in some of the colors than previous ones. In addition to this one, I painted two more today. But, they are under wraps right now.

As I told you yesterday, I repainted my plein air painting. So I thought that I would post it with my revisions. I took out the fence (the resembled a car) and I changes the design on the bushes on the left behind the tree. I still did not want the bushes to be distinct, because I wanted to keep it in the background. Once I start adding more detail in an area, it will bring it forward.



OK, tomorrow I'm moving on. No more work on this one.

Talk to you all later.
