Dusty Roses by Kay Wyne

Dusty Roses
10" x 10" Oil on RayMar Cotton Panel
Contemporary Palette Knife Painting
Soft pinks, greys, seafoam green and touches of white were applied with the palette knife to create this still life painting.  My colors are all on the "dirty" side, and they are harmonious because they were all mixed together and painted in one sitting.  The background is soft and uncomplicated with the vase and flowers full of movement and texture.  This painting is drying in the studio.  Contact Kay for more information on this contemporary still life painting.  Thanks, Kay

Untitled, on my easel by Kay Wyne

Untitled
30" x 30" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas
Contemporary Still Life Painting
I have completed this painting!  I have thought about a title for it, but nothing has really grabbed me.  The roses are full and weighty, with the background flowers of the arrangement loose and airy.  I used a wide flat brush for the most part, then switched to a filbert to paint in the lines and smaller shapes.  If you have a suggestion on the title, I welcome the input.  Thanks, Kay

Far Away by Kay Wyne

Far Away
18" x 18" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas
Contemporary Floral Landscape
This color palette for "Far Away" is a little muddier than my norm.  The colors are toned down and a little earthy.  The thick oils were first applied with a wide brush, then I moved this paint around using a palette knife and a rubber clay tool.  I wanted movement in the sky and the field of flowers.  This painting is hanging at the studio, and would be a great accent piece in a home setting.  Contact Kay for more info on this contemporary palette knife painting.  Thanks, Kay

Sun Filled Day

Sun Filled Day
24" x 20" Oil on Canvas
Contemporary Still Life Painting
Catching the sun coming through the window panes was my number one mission on this still life.  It was a challenge to get the still life set-up, then work on getting the colors mixed.  It took several afternoon sessions to get this right.  Painting the apples and flowers were easy, but seeing the light and mixing the right colors was not.  I learned so much from this painting, and when I view this painting, all the memories of the experience come back to me.  Thanks for looking at my art....Kay

I have layers of muted colors on the canvas, applied with a palette knife.  Not sure what direction I will go in, but excited to be at the studio all day today.  When I started making shapes I started seeing croquet balls...but they will be gone soon!  Kay

A Burst of Color
Sold
14" x 14" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas
Contemporary Floral Landscape Painting
Bold and fresh colors, loose palette knife strokes and an abstract landscape make "A Burst of Color" fun and interesting.  I loved painting this one.  My palette knife danced across the canvas, pushing and pulling the juicy oil paints.  I am thrilled that this painting has a new home to a new collector in Dallas.  I hope that it brings joy and happiness to those who live with it!  Thanks for looking at this blog....have a great day.  Feel free to contact ME

Blue Vase by Kay Wyne

Blue Vase
8" x 8" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas
Contemporary Floral Still Life Painting
This small painting is varnished and ready to hang!
The arrangement is painted in a contemporary
abstract style.  I used a flat brush and mixed my
oils to get the different hues of green, violet, 
tangerine and blues.  My favorite part of the
painting is the blue vase.  
The sides of the canvas are painted with the warm
grey background color, so framing is not needed.
Contact Kay for information on her art.

Row Boat by Kay Wyne

Row Boat
9" x 12" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas
Contemporary Seascape Painting
I was in the mood to paint a boat...and here's my small row boat.  I think it is complete...I will see what it looks like after letting it rest overnight.  The water has strokes of purples, greys, blues, corals and yellow.  I couldn't just paint the water one color.  I wanted to catch the reflection, the ripples and the movement in the water.  It was a fun little painting.  Thanks for looking at my blog....Kay

Blue Vase by Kay Wyne

Blue Vase
8" x 8" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas
Contemporary Floral Still Life
I just finished this painting in the studio yesterday.  I had started it months ago, and put it away for a while.  I was in the mood to put some finishing touches on it, sign it and photograph it.  I love the shape and color of the vase, and the variety of shapes and colors in the floral arrangement.  It's very abstract...it's obvious that I used a flat brush by the strokes of paint on the canvas.  I pulled the arrangement out of my head, using my imagination and had a good time painting this one, even though it took a while to complete the job!  I hope this painting makes you smile.  Thanks for looking at my art....Kay

Oh Happy Day! by Kay Wyne



Oh Happy Day!
18" x 36" Oil on Heavy Duty Gallery Wrap Canvas
Contemporary Still Life Painting
My favorite canvas shape is the square, but I really like the canvas I picked for this horizontal still life.  The vase of flowers is intentionally off-center.  The bouquet fills the canvas and is spilling over the edges, implying that the bouquet is full and over-flowing.  I used the palette knife on most of this painting.  The canvas has plenty of texture color.  I focused on lavenders and greens and greys and mixed piles and piles of oils when I painted this.  This painting is for sale, and is hanging at Dutch Art Gallery in Dallas, Texas.  Thanks for looking at this blog....Kay

Busy Busy by Kay Wyne

Busy Busy
40" x 30" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas
Contemporary Abstract Painting
One of my favorite things to do is paint abstracts.  They are expressive and full of creative possibilities.  This painting went through several phases and has layers of color, lines and shapes on the canvas.  I put the title "Busy Busy" on this canvas because of the motion and energy in the brush strokes and lines.  I get the feeling of a busy day when viewing this painting.  This painting is available for purchase.  Contact Kay for more information on this contemporary abstract painting.  Have an artful day....KMW
