VIEW IN MY ROOM
There’s nothing subtle about the daylilies that take over my gardens in summer. I have at least five varieties of daylilies in my front and back garden in Brooklyn. I know that I purchased and planted that many. But I suspect that the hemerocallis shown here is of the weedy variety that crops up in vacant yards and along sidewalks, and loves to take over my spaces if I let it. This one is not as frilly as some of my others, but it’s bold and daring and during this particularly hot summer I let it roam free. In the meantime, I adored the orange against the blue sky, and framed against the maroon leaves of my Japanese Acer, I could not resist painting this view of the back of the houses along Fuller Place. The yard is a little less exciting visually now that the lilies have run their course and they will be cut down to the ground in a few weeks. I already miss how the petals unfurl so forcefully each day, almost like Ethel Merman belting out a good song.

Joy Makon is a passionate observer of color and light; she explores the relationships of watercolor paint, heavy paper and contemporary reality. Her paintings are based on observations of daily life through landscapes and seascapes, often with figures incorporated into the composition. Subjects come from neighborhoods in NYC, and from travels domestically and abroad. Makon employs classic drawing and watercolor techniques in her paintings; for example, she uses the white of the paper rather than white paint, to convey the strong sense of light that is so evident in her work. It is her unique approach to subject, composition, point-of-view that makes her work anything but traditional. Joy Makon has a BFA in graphic design and photography from Tyler School of Art, Philadelphia, where she studied with John Moore, Stanislaw Zagorski and Joseph Scorsone. Her work has been shown in juried and gallery shows and can be found in private collections throughout the U.S. Makon has been recognized by the Art Directors Club, Society of Publication Designers, Society of Illustrators, for her work as a magazine art director. Joy is a member of artist-run 440 Gallery in Brooklyn. http://440gallery.com She lives and works in Brooklyn, NY.
