Joy always finds something to paint- people, animals, plein aire, still lives... She is never bored and usually has several paintings going at once. Below is a sample of subjects to explore.email: joyspaintings@aol.com website: http://joymcmicken.com
What's That?
I just love curious roosters
Fishing the Confluence
One of the favorite fishing spots is the confluence of the Susquehanna and Chenango Rivers
Dog Toys
My dog's favorite cat is sleeping in the basket of dog toys.
Pelican Over the Bay
The pelican was flying over the bay with a fish in it's mouth. I do not know why he was just carrying it.
Pizza and Wings
I was eating pizza and wings one night and I liked the composition- so I painted them. ( yes, I did reheat them & ate them !)
Squirrel in the Birdfeeder
That explains why I spend so much on birdfood.
Photographing Purples
This photographer was so busy photographing the ships & boats that he missed the purples of the sunset.
Reflections
this reminds me of first thing in the morning when the bright sunshine comes through the window. Just past the golden colors of dawn, when you begin to feel the heat of the day.
Mice Viewpoint
Mice are so cute- as long as they are not in my house !
Particular Petunia
Rufous hummingbird makes a selection.
Pepper Dip
Water has so many characteristics and colors, its fun to play with
Pilgrim's Progress
Much to think about - you can make up your own story.
The Emperor's New Clothes
need I say more?
Milan's Ospery
Absolutely beautiful bird, so graceful while flying, able to plummet great depths to capture a fish for lunch.
Free Upstate New York
Freedom of Speech is alive and well !
Under the Tracks
Interesting shapes and angles, reflection from the bottom of the trestle & reflection of the sky in the shadow from the same trestle. This a nice swimming hole!
Zero's Memorial
One of many Otsiningo Scarecrows created each October
BF & GF Date Night
This couple was out for dinner & even though they are very close and touching- not a word was spoken.
