Farm Scene daily oil painting by BECKY JOY

This petite oil painting, 6x6, is for sale on my website for $100. To buy click here. 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.

Barn Rural Landscape oil by BECKY JOY

6x6 oil on canvas, The Big Red Barn, is available on my website for $100. To purchase, click here.
This barn is different for me because it is in good shape and still standing. I usually go for the derelict buildings. I liked this one because it was sitting up on a hill and looked even bigger than it was. All the different colors of red were interesting and of course, the green moss than contrasted with the red. This was in Oregon which explains the moss on the roof. All that moss, it won't be long before this barn will be a derelict building.

A Day of Laundry daily oil painting by BECKY JOY

This painting is for sale for $100, click here.

This 6x6 is from a scene in Mexico in the Sierra Madres. I went to village by the name of Huachinera several years ago. Saturday was laundry day. As I walked through town, I saw several women scrubbing the clothes by hand and hanging them. This vine was overhanging the fence and beyond it the laundry. I tried to take photos of a woman doing her laundry, but she was really embarrased so I kept walking. Anyway, I took this picture on the sly. There were some wonderful colors in the clothes, but also the vine which I think was a gourd. I used the palette knife in the roof, some of the clothing and of course, the vine. After painting in most of the vine, I went back with the brush to define the tops of some of the fence keeping the paint thinner on the fence. Then I went back into the vine to add more highlights and depth with the palette knife. I really like using the combination of the palette knife and the brush so that I can easily get a variety of texture and edges.

I'm also working on a larger piece. I'm trying to get some work done to enter some upcoming shows. One more to finish then the apps will be ready.
