BECKY JOY painting challenge imperial auto

6x6 oil on canvas panel, "Classic"

To bid click here.

Last night during the superbowl when I was cruising the internet I found this challenge on the Daily Paintworks. Carol Marine posted this photo of a classic Imperial auto. I'm always a sucker for old vehicles, so I had to paint it last night. I couldn't see the colors in the photo real well which was probably the glare on the computer screen with all the lights on in the studio last night, but paint it I did. I'm not sure if the challenge was over or not, but I'm sure I was the last to post. Anyway, I'll have to try it again.

Well, back to painting some more skies. I'm hoping to get some small ones done this week. It was a hectic week for me last week. I did get some painting done, but it wasn't little ones. So, off to the treadmill then painting. Talk to you all tomorrow.

I'm back to work today. The computer this morning and painting this afternoon. Its getting to be a routine.  I hope that all of you had a great holiday. Now its diet time. OMG way too much food, but it was so good! My daughter cooked and she really is a good cook.

I'm doing some goal setting for my business for next year. I spent quite a bit of time yesterday and today planning a writing things down. I think I've got it. I may post my goals and that will make me more accountable and follow through. At least, that's what I'm thinking.

So, about dinner time and time to quit for today. Talk to you all later.

Rural Barn Scene by BECKY JOY

This 6x6 oil on board is Farm Field. The painting is for sale on my website at www.beckyjoy.com. To purchase for $110. click here. With the purchase of this painting, you will receive a small black wrought iron display easel. The painting is finished on the edges of the board and varnished. With the easel you have the choice of framing it or displaying it on the easel.


I used both the palette knife and the brush on this painting. You can see more texture as you move into the foreground. This gives the painting more space and depth which I think is especially important in a scene like this with the distant trees and mountains.

Even though it is Sunday, I got a lot of painting done today. I started the day with a good game of bowling and a good day of painting. It was one of those days that things were coming together. Last week I felt pretty inept at painting. Oh well, sometimes it isn't easy.

I should have a productive day of painting tomorrow. No plans other than painting. :)!!!!

The White House daily oil painting by BECKY JOY

I have posted this painting on my website for sale for $100 which includes shipping.

I am continuing my series of houses and buildings. I didn't intend to keep painting them, but I am really enjoying myself. I liked the roofline of the two parts to this house and the shadow colors which varied from warm to cool. I pushed the orange trim. It was a little darker in reality, but to get the sense of light I used cad orange with titanium. The garbage can I thought was a nice little detail. I like those kinds of things that aren't "pretty", but add a human touch. All the whites in the painting actually have color in them so that they each vary from the other. The driveway and road were dirt.

The one thing I realize now that I forgot was the little vent on the roof. I wanted to add that to break up the space. I'm not at the studio now, so I think I will add that tomorrow or the next day. I know I will be painting on Sunday, but maybe not tomorrow. Should I continue with the houses? What do you think?

Talk to you all later,
