25.01.2022 The next best thing to painting a commission is handing it over to the client. This lovely lady also fell in love with one of my floral prints so went home as happy as a dog with 2 tails . I unwrapped and signed it for her to make it extra special! Thank you to everyone who likes my art and support me. You make it so worthwhile. I try to make this world a better place with my art. If you would like to see more or get an artwork painted then please visit my website at www.joyconnellartist.com.au. #doglovers #dogportrait #petportrait #banbarewalls #artstbrisbane #reproductionart #originalartworks #cats #petsofinstagram

20.01.2022 I wanted to share with you all a lovely surprise this week. Sister Angela Mary Doyle called me concerned that I was well amidst the current turmoil which we are all experiencing.It was lovely to hear from her and know she herself is ok. I was even more happy to hear that she has taken me up on my offer of gifting her the portrait. It was initially painted as an entry for last years Brisbane Portrait Prize but wasn't selected. I kept it wrapped up at home hoping it would eventually find it's way to Sister Angela Mary. Today was the day. I am so happy as this wonderful lady is in her 95th year and deserves something special. She and her Sisters have all been in lockdown for weeks so I really hope this brings some joy to them all. It gives a wonderful sense of closure knowing this special painting has gone to where it belongs-home.
20.01.2022 It’s always exciting starting a new painting.Here are some progress shots of a gorgeous Peony I started a few days ago. A few hours painting a day mean It’s gradually coming together . It’s a process that demands patience and concentration ... a perfect way to escape whilst listening to my favourite podcast Art Juice . Have a great day !
20.01.2022 My favourite combination of sunset, flowers and bees. Just finished and off to its new home tomorrow

19.01.2022 Hi, I have been a bit quiet on Facebook for a while due to a massive effort on upgrading my website thanks to a BEMAC grant, and I have also been renovating my kitchen! Tiling is messy but fun I decided to post some close ups of my large floral paintings. They are as close to abstract art as I go and give a different perspective to my work entirely. I love the shapes, colours,rhythm and spacial interactions in them... To be totally honest I dont really understand abstract art, its like looking at a foreign language and trying to understand it , failing miserably ! However I do understand these especially when I just look at what is present and not what I know is the whole painting. Anyway, I hope you enjoy them. More news on my website soon , nearly there!
18.01.2022 Something different for you
18.01.2022 I really enjoy creating artworks for people , particularly when the subject is close to their heart. It gives me a sense of purpose, that something I can actually do gives such pleasure. It is said that our work is strongly linked with our identity. I largely agree with this. As a nurse I knew who I was and the role I played in our community. As an emerging artist it is less clear. Forging a new identity in my 50s is like learning to ride a bike all over again , wobbly , uncertain and at times , painful! This being the case , can I ask that if you have been the recipient of my art or simply like my paintings would you take the time to leave a review on my page? A little validation goes a long way! Thank you so much , Joy
17.01.2022 #Repost @artstbrisbane with @make_repost SUNSHINE FRANGIPANI by Joy Connell, Acrylic on Canvas, 120 x 90 x 2cm These lively blooms are an uplifting addition to any room bringing an instant injection of life and light. Its really cheerful and ideal for chasing away the isolation blues! I used a photo reference from my own garden which gave me the chance to study the colours and shapes closely. I love the bright yellows of the petals against the rich plum reds of the uno...pened buds. A dash of blue sky peeping amongst the leaves reminds us its a sunny Queensland day. The stretched canvas is wired and ready to hang and a shadow box timber frame in black or soft white can be arranged (additional cost). Contact Joy if you would like to either view or purchase this painting. - Joy Connell I love Joys larger than life florals! and what Queenslander doesnt like a Frangipani!

13.01.2022 I really love and appreciate time spent in Donald J Waters classes. He is an amazing teacher , beautiful soul and we all have a great time, especially at morning tea sharing goodies from our kitchens. Thank you Don for everything you give so generously
13.01.2022 Keeping safe and not being bored to tears is something we all want in these uncertain times. Therefore I can thank a dear friend who allowed me to paint her pooch which has kept me amused for a couple of days. Meet Elsa, she was a rescue dog, very much neglected and abused but has thrived under the devoted care of my friends Lou and Steve. Shes now a happy, relaxed pizza loving mutt who is a gentle and loving companion. A beautiful dog for 2 beautiful people

06.01.2022 Introducing Fanfare heres a photo of my new painting . I started it ages ago and when I went back to it it just didnt work. But instead of scrapping it I worked on it with freedom. The rich glow comes from the original under painting and I had a load of fun just painting from my heart without a reference. So liberating ! It is for sale so if you like it please contact me and I will send you more photos etc. #fun #art#flowers #banbarewalls #artforsale #homedecor #homeinteriors #joysart# #freedomtopaintwhatever #letitgo

02.01.2022 I loved the way this Peony came together. As is the way, it started out looking ragged and definitely not lush , but patience won the day. Applied several layers , colour adjustments and attention to detail and it’s a piece I am happy with. Not huge at 50x40cm but that’s great for limited wall space or small rooms . It makes for an intimate painting. #artforsalebyartist
