plein air oil landscape by BECKY JOY

8x10 plein air oil on canvas panel
$450. + shipping 



I painted this one yesterday at Spur Cross Ranch along Cave Creek. I was with some friends painting and forgot to bring my paints on the hike down to the stream. I didn't want to go back and borrowed from a friend. You really don't feel good about borrowing too much paint, so it was a little scimpy on the painting. So I finished it up today with a little more paint and took out some light that I had in the right foreground, recomposing the painting. It was just a little too scattered with light. I was having a good time with the color here. All in all, a good day.

I started a new blog Painting, the Best of the Week. I'm getting a variety of artists on the site, some that paint "daily paintings" and some that "paint daily". I just want the best work of the week on the site. Some of you might find it informative when the artists describe their piece. Check it out.

Also, I have openings in my workshops both in Pasadena, CA and at the Superstitions in AZ. Both are plein air workshops.

Talk to you all later,
Becky Joy
