This is an 8x10 plein air painting that I revisited. I wasn't pleased with it so I did a little more work to it. I painted this in Clarkdale, AZ. Cutest little town. The homes are small 1950's era homes and each one is different. I had not used a palette knife on this painting the first time around. It was too timid, so I beefed it up with some more powerful strokes and stronger light. The red bushes along the property line is what drew me to this scene. I definitely need to get back there and paint and I will. I have a painter friend, Christine Debrosky who lives near these homes. She spends a lot of time painting in this neighborhood.
"The Property Line" is in oil and I have it posted on my website. www.beckyjoy.com
Just a couple of more days and I will be drawing for the winner of the daily painting from those that signed up for my newsletter. There is still time to sign up.

I paint. Using oils and recently rediscovering pastels I paint primarily landscapes in plein air and the studio. I'm known for my sunsets and skies. I'm passionate about passing on what I have learned from nationally known artists in workshops that I teach.
