sunset oil painting by BECKY JOY



6x6 oil on canvas panel $150. includes shipping in US
and small black display easel



OK, back in business here. I painted this today after seeing the sun and sky colors late yesterday afternoon, not quite sunset, but getting close. I think this is sky #50. 

I had a setback last Thursday with my website. I changed some code, got locked out and was not able to correct it. I was just getting a bigger mess. So, I abandoned ship. I started over. I only have one painting in there right now. Since I had to start over, I decided to use another program for my photos, but its taking me some time to get up to speed, like help!  I worked on it all weekend. I'm not one to give up on things, but I was just getting too frustrated and just deleted it all. I thought it was better to start with a clean slate. We'll see how this goes. So, right now, this painting is only on my blog.

I do still have openings for my workshops which are on my website at beckyjoy.com/workshops.

Well, back to the website soon. Talk to you all later.

I have made up a page that spells out my buying, shipping and the guarantee for my paintings. If you want to see it click here.

I got back to painting today after spending a lot of time working on the website last week. Since I'm not a tech person, I'm sure that this has taken a lot longer than it would others. But, I must say, I am proud of what I accomplished here. I'm still hearing about a couple little tweaks that I need to take care of. I guess the comment form goes too far to the right. I'll have to work on that now. If you see something I should change or is confusing, etc., let me know. Ah, the job of an artist is never done. Didn't we say that about motherhood too? and housework?

My next job will be getting out the newsletter. Oh, and another thing, when I switched my blogs, I lost several subscribers for the blog. I'm picking up some, but it is slow going. So, if you stop by and have not subscribed or wondered why you weren't getting anything in your emails, that's the reason.

This weekend I rewrote my "about me" page. I tried to make it show some of my personality and not be so dry and factual. You might check it out. Then you can see the real me. At least, a part of me.

Tomorrow I will be off working on the house. We are having cement poured for a new patio across the back of the house. Yippeee! But, I will be back online with ustream on Wednesday for the weekly show at 3 pm PDT. So come join me in my studio as I paint.

Talk to ya'all later.

Oregon plein air landscape by BECKY JOY

MORNING 5x7 oil/canvas panel $110. To purchase click here.

 With the purchase of this painting, you will receive free a small black wrought iron display easel. So framing is optional.

Today was a great morning out painting, my third day painting in Yamhill County, OR. I feel like I was getting in the groove. I haven't done any plein air painting for a while since I live in Arizona (it's waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too hot for that). The weather has been great, except that the Oregonians have been complaining that it is too hot. They don't know what hot is. I think it is wonderful.

I drove down the road from my parents about 5 to 7 miles and I was out in the country with little farms dotting the landscape. The light in this scene was just starting to come over the trees hitting a little of the shed and the field in front of it. Great atmosphere to paint here.

I'll be out there again tomorrow morning, then probably off to Portland to visit friends.

Talk to yo all later.
