Lily Pond Light Dance..Pastel..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

Yep, I know, try saying that title fast three times.. Ha! I just thought it fit this image though, so what the heck.

The pond was in Le Vieux Couvent in France,  and was magical. Filled with frogs all singing and trying to find LOVE.

I did embellish this with some of the foliage, the monstera was not there, but  I had a nice photo from which to bounce and decided to place it in for an accent element.

This image is a pastel on a mystery sanded paper I had.
It is 10.75" x 14.75"

Coconut Shadows..Pastel..Semi Abstracted...Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

Believe it or not this used to be horses. I decided I could do better, so I wiped it with alcohol and a rag and then splashed acrylics over the surface. The surface is a large Ampersand board by the way.

After my surface had dried, I worked my image into and over the marks, quite a challenge, but I think by now you all know how I love to challenge myself.

The photo reference was one I took on my recent trip to Maui.

This was great fun to do, although it took a while.

The size of this one is 24" x 36" unframed on board.

Day 17, Project 125 Oregon, Home Grown by BECKY JOY

© 2013 Becky Joy    Oregon, Home Grown     oil 6 inches x 6 inches    

Today, I spent a lot of time at home, cleaning my car (that was a job), on the computer, and doing nothing. I went out painting late in the day. I had seen this little overgrown place along the highway. I always like those unkept places with more character. I was drawn to the variety of color in the foliage and the house peeking out from the bushes. It had an old rusted tin roof which certainly adds to the character. In the foreground their were some  ferns and all kinds of weeds growing. Some of the colors in the foreground were picked up in piles with the brush and layed on like a palette knife.

Tomorrow I think I will get out early. It is hot for this area in the afternoons.

I would like to find out from some of you what you would want me to teach you if you were taking a workshop from me.

Talk to you all tomorrow.

Day 15, Project 125 Oregon Trees, A Green State by Becky joy

© 2013  Becky Joy      Oregon Trees, Greens    oil    6 inches x 6 inches  

If you have never been to Oregon to see the variety of greens, I'm sure you've heard about them. Oregon is a very green state, in more ways than just the color. This is from the back deck of my parents place. I ran around doing errands today and visiting some friends, so there wasn't a lot of painting time. (I'll have to make more tomorrow.) I came home and started painting at about 5 pm.

 This painting was really about the greens and showing the subtle differences and varieties. The foreground tree was really the only one in light. The trees are in a ravine with the weeds going down the hillside. The grasses are starting to dry out and turn a warm color. Besides just using color to indicate distance, I used brushstrokes, larger brushstrokes in the foreground and the large diagonal stroke on the left grass to indicate the direction of the land.

The photo of the tree.

Workshops:
Hood River, OR Sept. 4


Tomorrow I plan on meeting a painting friend and get out in the area. So talk to you all tomorrow.

Lake Water Reflections oil landscape painting by BECKY JOY

© 2013 Becky Joy     Water Reflections    oil     8 x 10 inches   

Painted in Colorado near Vail. I was attracted to the clear water and seeing bottom of the lake and reflections. It's nice how the reddish muddy bottom contrasts with the greens of the surrounding banks.

Check out my workshops, new ones are regularly added.

Moonlight sky painting by BECKY JOY

© 2013 Becky Joy      Moonlight      oil    8x10   

Even though this is painted in warm colors, I wanted to get the feeling of glowing moonlight. The light casts onto the trees and the bushes. This is a painting with me playing with color and light, my favorite things to do.   Free shipping in US

Less Taken / Roxborough Park by Maryann Leake

LESS TAKE / ROXBOROUGH PARK oil painting by Maryann Leake Colorado Contemporary Artist 16"x 20" $300.00 Leake@baisley.org Years ago I set my easel up near the bed of my truck and faced my fear of painting outdoors. I said a prayer "Lord I want this title of artist to remain with me. Am I on the right path?" Here comes the funny part. A DOVE sailed in and landed on the tail gate of my truck... helllloo
