Sedona plein air invitational by Becky Joy

Arches 10 x 8 oil landscape 

This is one of my paintings from the Sedona Plein Air Invitational. I didn't have the values quite deep enough, but I loved the colors and composition. So, I repainted some of this one today. This was painted during the quick draw at Tlaquepaque, a unique shopping area. It has the feel of old Mexican buildings. There are so many things to paint in this area.

I took off during the middle of the day to grocery shop, ride my bike, etc. By the time I finished the painting it was too dark to photograph. I will rephotograph it in the morning and replace the photo. The colors are wonderful in this painting.

Talk to you all tomorrow.

Sunrise Reflection water by BECKY JOY

"Morning Reflection" oil 18x24 

Hi everyone!

I received an honorable mention with Morning Reflection at the Arizona Plein Air Artists Annual Show in Sedona, AZ. The second painting that I entered received the Artists' Choice Award.

This was a painting from my imagination. I wanted to use a lot of cool grays in the painting to play off of the bright sunlit colors. I felt like it was a contest within myself to see how many colors I could get in the painting in the grays. It was an exercise in color. The colors become cooler and less saturated as I moved away from the light.

This weekend I have mostly been working on my website trying to organize, simplify and get a new look. It is really a job to get all the information that you want on a website, but keep it simple and navagable. How do you like the new look?

Talk to you all tomorrow!
