Tree by the Gravel Road
20" x 16"
Oil on Canvas
Father's Day is a great time to think about how lucky I am to have such a great Dad! My Dad has always been a cowboy at heart. He is living his dream on a farm outside of the Austin area. He works with his tractor, puts up fences and raises mustangs. He loves it when I paint views from his land - and how can I resist with all of the character and beauty I see everytime I visit. This painting is a view of a tree by the long gravel road from his farmhouse. Unexpected colors and thickly textured clouds add interest and make me feel as if I'm back, enjoying the drive.

Rural Farm Scene by BECKY JOY
LIGHT ON THE FIELD oil 5x7 This painting is for sale on my website for $110 which includes the small black wrought iron display frame so that framing in not needed. To purchase this painting click here.
The scene is from the Sierra Madres in Mexico, but could be almost anywhere. It was late afternoon with the sunlight hitting the field and trees. There were bushes along the fence and the field that had yellow blooming flowers. I'm not sure what they were, I hadn't noticed them up here before. The climate was a high desert climate and looked much like northern Arizona. You can see the thick paint from the palette knife and the smoother brushwork. This gives more dimension and depth to the painting. I'm from the school of thought that paintings should have variety in every way, texture, size, color, warm/cool, light/dark, etc., etc.
I got some other painting done today. One that I had sketched out and blocked in yesterday. It is one of 50 for a large project that I have been working on. I'm still not ready to divulge the secret work.
Today I posted some images on Fine Art America for prints and cards. Check them out at http://fineartamerica.com/profiles/becky-joy.html

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.
