Daily painting rural trees landscape by BECKY JOY

LATE IN THE DAY oil 6x6 on canvas board is available on my website With the purchase of the painting, you will receive a small black wrought iron easel. So, framing is optional. 

This was painted from a photo from Oregon and my imagination. The photo like the last post was mostly in green. I played around with this one a lot until I figured out what I wanted. It didn't go very easily, but I'm pleased with the final results. 


Today I've prepared some linen and canvases. I'm going to paint the last small study into a larger piece. I drew it onto the canvas, a little different format. The size is 14x18. I also drew and 11x14 onto the linen today. It is for a series of 5 that I'm painting (2 more to go). So, tomorrow is mapped out for me.

I'll be trying the ustream again, putting together a whole show. If it is successful, I'll let you know and you can view the show of me painting in the studio.

I also had my drawing for July for those that signed up for my newsletter. And....the winner is.....Gary Keimig, a Wyoming artist and coincidentally a good friend of friends of mine, Tammy and Tom Lucas. I've known them for several years from doing the Celebration of Fine Art together. C

I'll post again tomorrow. See ya.

Field and Barn oil painting by BECKY JOY

This petite oil painting, 6x6, is for sale on my website  www.beckyjoy.com

I loved the distance in this scene with the flat field going into the distance. The shadow of the tree also added a lot of interest helping to frame the painting. I changed the color of the building several times before settling on this color. If I had made the building brighter in color, your eye would have gone to that. I wanted you to go back into the distance and move around.

I got a lot of painting done yesterday and today finishing a couple of 11x14's which I will reveal later.

I will post later.

Light on the Trees and River by BECKY JOY

This 5x7 oil painting is available on my website  http://beckyjoy.com

This is from a photo taken in Utah a few years ago. It was morning and the sun was coming over the mountains hitting the river here and there. I love that kind of striking light. I used the palette knife on the light in the painting which gives more attention to that area. The palette knife also works great on the light ripples in the water. I loved the various blues and violets in this scene. By keeping everything in that palette it makes the yellows, oranges and greens of the light stand out. 

It was a great day in the studio although a little short. I'm taking some time off to relax and go to the movies. I have to make sure and get out of the house here and there, because it is easy for me to spend all my time in the house and studio. Now that I moved and have my things all set up, I'm trying to get back into old routines which includes the treadmill. Sitting down at the computer and easel I don't get a lot of exercise. My routine used to always be the treadmill in the morning and then out of the house and studio at lunchtime for a bike ride or walk, just something to get out and see the world. Yesterday I started on the treadmill. Today I stepped it up and already feel the effects, which obviously means that I need it.

I'll be posting more paintings coming up so check back.

Later,

BECKY JOY
