VIEW IN MY ROOM
The front garden is small, sweet and filled with huge plants. I fear that the front yard announces that a crazy person lives in this house. The garden is overstuffed with large specimens of plants, especially a huge hosta that just refuses to be tamed. It measures at least ten feet wide by two feet high without its tall flowers. It is gradually pushing out the beautiful apricot-colored daylilies that were there years before I planted that hosta. Every spring I cut back the hosta to allow for light to reach the lilies, but eventually the hosta wins out. Even so, it is an impressive plant, as is the daylily. It is a large variety and a gorgeous color. In the midday summer sun, the flower just glows. This painting is an offering of a peace lily. As my heart was breaking from hearing news events, I could choose to retreat to the studio and paint the heck out of this pretty little scene. Seems so insignificant, but if it makes someone smile for a moment, maybe that’s the best I can come up with right now.

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.
