Tree, water reflection oil painting by BECKY JOY

REFLECTIONS, a 6x6 oil for sale on my website for $110. To purchase the painting click here.

I used both the palette knife and brush in this painting. I use the brush first to put thin paint on, leaving some of the strokes. The palette knife is in the foliage and ground. By using the brush in the water I get smoother, glassier reflections. It really makes the water lie down flat. This is from a photo that I used to paint the painting "Moonlight" which was in the OPA National show. I used the tree with a reflection, but took a lot of liberties. This version is entirely different and a little closer to reality.

Last night I had my second broadcast on UStream. Time really slipped by. I didn't realize that I had been on for about two hours. There was a good group of people participating in the chat. I really enjoyed it. I'll be back for next Tuesday at 4pm PDT. Hopefully, as time goes on I will improve the show as I learn more. I'm going to experiment with a different camera now. 

Oh, and I will post the painting probably tomorrow that I did during the broadcast.

Talk to you later,

This afternoon I was trying out ustream broadcasting. If it worked out well, I was going to leave it for people to view later. But, someone caught me at it. She saw that I had broadcasting on and asked if I was there. So, I started a show. She went to FB and told other artists. Then I had an audience. Anyway, my intention was to officially start next week. I am now ready to announce that I will broadcasting from my studio on Tuesdays at 4pm PDT on ustream. To view the recorded show go to my ustream channel http://www.ustream.tv/channel/becky-joy-artist-oil-painting-in-the-studio

I may occassionally be broadcasting additional times, so I set up a google group to inform people when I will be online. If you want an email to know the times, sign up for my google group, Becky is Painting
