Sometimes I find it a little overwhelming to keep up with preparing panels for painting, painting, taking photos, listing, blogging, Facebook, twitter, Instagram, emails, packing, shipping etc...and I try to do this for my art as well as my jewelry. Knottedupjewelry.com

Then there are the everyday "stuff". So bare with me as I try to complete all these tasks, I do work alone. Please check out the new art on panels @ rebeccambeal.com and let me know how you like them!

Change…sometimes easy, sometimes not, but everything changes.  At this time in my life the change came easily.  I have a lot of shoulder/arm/neck pain when I paint; I had to adjust my work. I hope you love the new work as much as I loved doing it. Smaller and on Masonite panels. Currently I am using a base or under painting that is gold so it shows through on part of the paintings.  I am currently into Carmel Cottages and other Famous places, for captivating cottages & landscapes.

Enjoy and remember each is unique and will not be repeated again.

Colorful Portofino Original Oil Painting by Rebecca Beal 12x36 Thick Gallery-wrapped Canvas

 One of the great joys of traveling through Italy is discovering firsthand that it is, indeed, a dream destination, that keeps returning for the rest of your life.

Portofino is a lovely little harbor fishing village about 45 minutes' drive away from Genoa on Italy's North West coast.

Captivating Venice an Original Oil painting by Rebecca Beal Gallery wrapped Canvas ready to hang

She sat upon the gondolas warm seat and looked as far down the darkening canal as the setting sun would allow. She wondered if others appreciated Venice’s beauty and fragility as deeply as she had come to or if, like a raging fever, the city infected some while avoiding others. She sighed at the grandeur and at the resilience that surrounded her, and she promised herself she’d try to be more like Venice.

See My Interview Here

Weddings will be coming up for April, May, June, and July, I started a series of Couples, here is the 1st one.  You can see the initial quick drawing, then I decided to add a beach and finally the completed work. I had to take this photo in the dark and make a few adjustments because of the shiny wet paint. I will take/post a better photo once dry in natural light. You can see how it was adjusted as I went along. Just Click Pic to Enlarge
