winter afternoon sunset and barn scene by BECKY JOY

This 6x6 oil is sky #17 available on my website for $110. 
which includes shipping in the US and a small black wrought 
iron display easel.

This is a winter scene from Oregon. The only warmth was in the sky at late afternoon. I like the peach color against the different blues and violets. I used the palette knife on the buildings, trees, sky and the bushes in front. I usually use the palette knife towards the end of the painting putting the basics in with the brush.

Today I got the news from FASO that one of my paintings was voted in the top 15% for the FAV 15%. That is really a nice feeling to be voted on my work by other artists. To view the paintings that were picked, click here.

I also got the news earlier that I will be in the Mountain Oyster show in Tucson. One of my plein air pieces from Lake Pleasant.

I haven't gotten a whole lot of painting done with the studio remodel. The studio is coming along great. Today I got a sliding door in that will open to the patio. I like the idea of being able to keep the door open on a nice day. It will be a great way to keep the fumes down. I would also like to put in an exhaust fan. I'll take some photos a little later so that you can see my new reworked studio. The electrical and new lights will be next, then the roof.

Talk to you all later.

farm painting plein air by BECKY JOY

FALL CROP 5x7 oil plein air. Click here to purchase.

This was the second painting that I painted yesterday morning. Another nice day and good day of painting. There is so much scenery to paint, but the trick is to find a place to park on a narrow country road. I found a good spot to park. So, I painted two paintings from the same parking spot. Actually, there were more scenes that I could have painted today, but I needed to get back to take my mom on an errand.

I noticed that a lot of the fields have been cut. It's supposed to rain this weekend, so they had better get it all baled and picked up soon.

Following are some photos that I took during the painting of yesterday's plein air.


Today I painted two more this morning and from the same parking spot. I'll post them later.
