Arizona artist Becky Joy, fence & trees oil landscape painting
The Path 9x12 oil
Hello everyone!
This morning I went out painting at North Mountain Park in Phoenix. I found a place in a wash to paint the wash and a palo verde tree. I found it to very frustrating. I had no yellow in my paints. Not good! I tried, but it was just too limited of a palette, especially trying to create sunlight. So, I wiped some of the painting off and have a simple composition. I decided I will go out there tomorrow and try it again. I made sure and got the yellow in my backpack now. After all that, I came back to the studio and painted another painting.
This painting is reminiscent of a Montana scene that I saw of a fence off in a field. I worked with the composition and came up with the path leading to the break of the fence and into the woods. This gives a sense of mystery. I wanted the feeling of full afternoon sun.

"Untitled T1" by Li Hua Mahalik
Oil on Wrapped Canvas, 24x24
My recent reading from an amazing and wonderful site, www.khanacademy.org, inspired me to do a triptych and here is the first one. I probably could name it "Limit I". It's also a happenstance.

Sky plein air oil landscape painting Becky Joy
Clouds and Blue Sky 6"x8" oil landscape painting
I was painting in the studio looked out the door and saw the wonderful clouds. I gave up on the studio painting. Set up my easel in the backyard for plein air. I don't have much of a view on the ground, so it's clouds when I paint at home. I tried some different colors today. The clouds were a nice warm color.
Tomorrow, back in the studio and packing paintings for shows. Not a favorite thing to do, but it must be done.

Oil painting River landscape by BECKY JOY
"Flowing River" oil 6x6"
Hi everyone, I started this painting as an example for one of my students in my online workshop to show her a couple of points. This morning I looked at it and liked what I had started. So I repainted it and filled it out more having my daily painting done. I actually had to almost paint a third one. When I took it outside to photograph, I promptly dropped it in the dirt. Don't you hate it when that happens? And, it wasn't even a plein air painting.
I used what I call "simultaneous colors" in painting this. I mix like values of different colors and use them together in a single brushstroke. I have been using this technique more and more. I started painting this way a little about 2 years ago, but I found that I was too skimpy with the paint. Now, I'm trying to paint like I'm a "millionaire". Well, it sounds good.
I will be taking off for Tucson early on Thursday morning for a four day workshop with Kenn Backhaus. I'm really excited about it. I took a workshop from him about 8 years ago or so at the Scottsdale aritsts school. So, I know that he is a fabulous teacher. I'll let you know all about it.
This and all of my small paintings comes with a black wrought iron display easel.

"Standing Alone"
Oil on Canvas, 8"X10" $275
I explore the Sonoran desert almost everyday. The textures and the way the light plays across the desert landscape amazes me. Here I was intrigued by the vertical saguaro and the way the light played across the rocks in a horizontal fashion.

Arizona Centennial Art Project...Cattle
Calf, AZ Centennial Art Project/5 C's
6"x6" oil
Hi everyone, This is part of the series of 100 paintings for the AZ Centennial art project about the 5 C's, cattle, copper, climate, citrus and cotton.
Cattle is one of the 5 C's of Arizona. In this painting I have depicted a young calf from Southern Arizona. Cattle were first brought to the Arizona area by the Spanish. Cattle drives crossed Arizona from Texas on their way to the markets in Los Angeles. Evently, cattle were raised in Arizona and bound for the LA market on trains.
For more information on the Arizona Centennial Art Project go to our blog.
