The sky is the limit or is it unlimited. An odd saying for what it means. Today I did this little snow scene. I wanted to keep most of the painting in high key, so the tree is it, the dark with the brightest spot, the sun, next to it.  There are a lot of grays in the painting with the colors as a whole becoming cooler as they move away from the sun. I put the group of trees in the background to help balance the painting.

I took plenty of photos of this painting as I was painting it. The process of painting this one will be in my e-book that will be coming up, so check back for it. I hope to have it done by the time I send out my newsletter, which I'm waiting for the first of the year to do. I've had a couple of people let me know that they miss it and where is it. Its coming, I promise. So much to do.

Well, on to working on that e-book.

Talk to you all later.

I didn't post yesterday. I was so busy with the studio and packing paintings for a new gallery that I will be showing in, the Link Gallery in Cheyenne, WY.

Today I worked on the studio remodel all day. We have 1/2 the rafters up for a new roof. We are incorporating a storage shed into the studio to make it larger and to give me a storage area. The walls and cement floor were good, but the roof, OMG. It leaked like a sieve. So we dismantled the roof today and started on the new one. The weather is supposed to be good for the next week. It rained yesterday and this morning. Now we should be safe to work on this part of the project. The sunsets and rain clouds have been magnificent this week. So is the moon that is visible from the sliding door of my studio right now.

I hope that I will be able to work on some larger paintings this weekend. I have plenty of small ones, but the larger ones I still need to work on.

I'll try to take a photo of what is going on with the studio and post it tomorrow.

Talk to you all later,

Sunset oil daily impressionist painting by BECKY JOY

SUNSET COLORS 5x7 oil $110. + S&H

The sunset last night here in Phoenix was really nice. It wasn't a screaming bright one, but soft and subtle. The colors here are reminiscent of that sunset. I used some viridian and titanium white in the sky along with variations of cad red, cad yellow, alizarine, dioxazene purple and ultramarine. Actually, the whole painting used those colors. I place the lighter warm colors on the ground to lead the viewer into the painting and make some interest in the foreground. With the purchase of this painting, you will receive a small black wrought iron display easel so that you have the option of not framing the painting.

I want to remind all of you that I will be on Ustream today at 4pm PDT. I will be using Monday's daily painting as a reference to paint a 24x30 painting. So, tune in at http://www.ustream.tv/channel/becky-joy-artist-oil-painting-in-the-studio
