BECKY JOY plein air painting in Oregon

Morning at the Crossroads 6x6 oil available on my websiteThis is the plein air painting from yesterday morning. The light was shining through onto the road with the mailboxes against the light road. Today I painted a couple of them, but I didn't feel that they were anything special. I'll have to get them out of the box and look again. Sometimes looking at them later I can readily see what they need. Tomorrow is another day. I'll be out there again in the morning.

Talk to you all later.

Field and Barn oil painting by BECKY JOY

This 6x6 oil on board is Farm Field. The painting is for sale on my website at www.beckyjoy.com.  With the purchase of this painting, you will receive a small black wrought iron display easel. The painting is finished on the edges of the board and varnished. With the easel you have the choice of framing it or displaying it on the easel.

I used both the palette knife and the brush on this painting. You can see more texture as you move into the foreground. This gives the painting more space and depth which I think is especially important in a scene like this with the distant trees and mountains.

Even though it is Sunday, I got a lot of painting done today. I started the day with a good game of bowling and a good day of painting. It was one of those days that things were coming together. Last week I felt pretty inept at painting. Oh well, sometimes it isn't easy.

I should have a productive day of painting tomorrow. No plans other than painting. :)!!!!
