Day 23 Rural Austin Texas Dusk, plein air to studio mood painting BECKY JOY

   

© 2013 Becky Joy    Rural Austin Texas Dusk      oil on panel     6 inches x 6 inshes    

This may be Texas, but I'm still in Oregon. I was itching to paint some mood paintings. This is one of them. I used a small 6x6 plein air that I painted in Austin, TX in May while at the OPA Show. Even though I invent the color of my mood paintings, the plein air paintings are very useful to me. The plein air will show me the relationship of colors to each other, which is something that I am still concerned about in paintings that I invent colors. I did change the lighting direction of this painting. I don't always do that, but I felt to balance the painting it was best to have the light come from the right rather than the left. This also left more sky open to put the lightest warmest color in this space. This painting is a little later in the day than the one that I painted yesterday, thus making the sky a cooler color. The ground colors reflect that sky color becoming cooler also.

The original plein air from Austin, TX

I'm excited and humbled to have my painting Strength and Serenity accepted the the American Impressionist Society National Exhibition and Show. It was a good day painting Strength and Serenity in Yosemite at the beginning of my trip.

Day 22, Project 125 Rural Road Sunset oil landscape painting by BECKY JOY

© 2013 Becky Joy   Sunset Road Painting   oil on panel   6 inches x 6 inches

Fourth of July today and I'm off to a family pot luck. I decided today was a good day to paint one of my paintings where I translate an image into a mood painting using my own inventive colors. This was a road that I pass from Portland to Newburg. My plein air painting helps me to translate colors into my own thing. Both in plein air and in fantasy colors there are relationships between the colors. If it was a light bright green in daylight, it will be brighter and greener than some of the other colors. It is all about relationships.

I just wrote a new post for Easel Notes if you want to check it out 

Talk to you all tomorrow and enjoy the Fourth of July

"Shortcut" Contemporary Landscape Of Rural Maui, Hawaii by California Janet Bludau

6" x 6"

Framed or Unframed

Looks wonderful in a chunky floater frame

If interested in a photo, email me at:  bludauart@gmail.com

Years ago I lived on the island of Maui in what is called the Upcountry area.

With the higher elevation, the weather is similar to California but with more rain.

Nearby I had Flower Farms, Cattle, Horses, A Winery, Botanical Gardens, even a volcano.

Shortcut was painted from a photo taken out my back door to the fields below.
