Afternoon in Staffordshire by Bethany Joseph

A fifth-generation artist, oil painter Bethany Joseph specializes in portraits and still lifes, working on linen and layering textured brushwork to create rich depth and dimension. A native of Fort Worth, Texas, her realist compositions reflect a deep appreciation for the quiet beauty of simplicity. Each piece is finished in a decorative Brimfield black frame crafted from naturally distressed painted pine and is handmade in Austin, Texas.
