Fall colors on the road oil painting by BECKY JOY

AFTERNOON ROAD, a 6x6 oil on canvas and board, varnished and ready to frame or display on the black wrought iron easel that I will send to you with the painting. Click here to buy this painting.


The photo of this painting is from a trip to Colorado. One of the photos taken while you are driving. I posted the original photo that I used to give you an idea of what I worked from. The composition is pretty much like the photo, but the color and lighting is entirely different. I often change the lighting or mood from what I actually see. You can see that I did simplify things from the photo.



Today I finished a larger painting from one of my studies. Although, looking at it in the last 5 minutes I see a little more work in the sky. I also played with ustream today. I recorded and deleted and recorded and deleted. I think I got the idea. Now I need to figure out the chat stuff so that I can talk to the audience when they ask me questions. One thing I was worried about was my voice being loud enough. I'm soft-spoken, but it did come in loud and clear. Yay!! Anyway, I should be broadcasting anytime now.


Talk to you all tomorrow.
