Tree and water reflection oil daily ptg. by BECKY JOY

REFLECTIONS, a 6x6 oil for sale on my website 

I used both the palette knife and brush in this painting. I use the brush first to put thin paint on, leaving some of the strokes. The palette knife is in the foliage and ground. By using the brush in the water I get smoother, glassier reflections. It really makes the water lie down flat. This is from a photo that I used to paint the painting "Moonlight" which was in the OPA National show. I used the tree with a reflection, but took a lot of liberties. This version is entirely different and a little closer to reality.

Last night I had my second broadcast on UStream. Time really slipped by. I didn't realize that I had been on for about two hours. There was a good group of people participating in the chat. I really enjoyed it. I'll be back for next Tuesday at 4pm PDT. Hopefully, as time goes on I will improve the show as I learn more. I'm going to experiment with a different camera now. 

Oh, and I will post the painting probably tomorrow that I did during the broadcast.

Talk to you later,

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.

Barn Farm scene by BECKY JOY

Today's daily painting is 6x6 In Line, a farm scene. I have this painting for sale on my website. 

I composed the scene with everything overlapping, going back into space. Again, I used the palette knife and brush. With the brush I am able to get the soft edges as in the background. The hard edges of the palette knife bring the foreground forward. The colors are a little more intense around the barn and the two overlapping roofs bring your attention to the buildings.
