Quiet Space by Kay Wyne


Quiet Space
14" x 14" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas
Contemporary Abstract
Soft, muted colors make this abstract a very calm and quiet painting.  I was experimenting with some new color combos on this one.  Actually, I painted over a landscape painting that I really didn't think was very good.  So there are some colors from the underpainting that peak through.  I like the cool greens, greys and grey-lavenders.  The touches of pink give it a little punch.  This painting is ready to hang---framing is optional because the sides are painted a warm grey. Contact Kay Wyne for purchasing info.  Kay

High Tide

High Tide
NFS
18" x 18" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas
Contemporary Seascape Painting
I started this beach painting about ten years ago, and with John's urging, I finished it this week!  You may know the man sitting in the chair, watching the tide roll in with water splashing up.  When I starting this painting, the water was calm and smooth, but I decided that it was more interesting with the waves coming in as you are sitting on the beach.  I'm glad I finally completed it, as it is a gift to a very special couple.  Thanks for looking...I am in the studio today starting a new project!  Have an artful day, Kay

Large Untitled Floral

Untitled (I might need some help!)
36" x 48" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas
Contemporary Floral
This canvas started out as a vertical abstract, and ended up as a horizontal floral.  Crazy things happen in front of the easel...and this canvas is proof!  Right now I am working on a title for it.  I am very please with the out-come of this palette knife painting.  Every color was mixed and mixed and mixed.  One of my studio mates came in while I was painting and asked what a specific color was on a flower petal....I honestly could not tell her how I got that color.  My palette was a mess, and every pile of paint was mixed up with another pile.  Contact ME with any questions or comments....Thanks for looking at my blog!  Kay

Skyline at White Rock Lake - Sold!

Skyline at White Rock Lake
Sold
12" x 16" Oil on Cotton RayMar Panel
I remember painting this en plein air with one of my painting friends, Susan.  She lives near the lake and she told me about this location, so one sunny spring day we hiked from her house to this field of tall grass, overlooking the lake and the skyline.  We had some lookers stop and chat with us.  I wanted the skyline of downtown Dallas to be recognizable but still painterly.  So I used my palette knife and impasto all the way on this one.  This painting was sold this week at Dutch Art Gallery in Dallas...so that you to Pam Massar for completing the sale! I am in the studio today working on a new painting that I am getting excited about....thanks for looking at my blog!  Kay

Fresh Pick by Kay Wyne

Fresh Pick
40" x 40" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas
Contemporary Still Life Painting
Variety is the spice of life!  With this painting I
made sure that there was variety in color, shapes, brush 
technique, textures, values, and of course the wide range
of blooms.  Probably my most favorite flowers in the still life
are the sunflowers...I like the droopy and irregular 
shapes that happen with the weight of the flower.  This 
painting is available for purchase.  Contact Kay for
more info.  Thanks for looking....KMW

Untitled Landscape by Kay Wyne

Untitled  (I need help on this!)
36" x 48" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas
Contemporary Landscape
I have worked on this canvas for several sessions, starting it before the holidays.  I imagined driving through the midwest looking at field after field after field.  I totally reworked the sky yesterday, as the blues in the sky were not relating to the blues in the field.  I may make some adjustments to it, but for the most part, it is completed.  Allowing it to sit on an easel and look at it will give me the opportunity to critique it, and I am sure that I will get some feedback from studio mates.  My color palette changed on this one, as I wanted the feel of fall with a chill in the air.  Thanks for looking at my blog.  Kay Wyne

Peonies, Fruit and Fabric by Kay Wyne

Peonies, Fruit and Fabric
24" x 30" Oil on Canvas Panel
Contemporary Still Life Painting
This colorful still life is framed in a beautiful gold frame.  When I painted this, I was focusing on the light source and wanted to get the dramatic shadows painted in.  My favorite part of the painting is the fruit and the edges of the petals on the peonies.  I was letting my brush dance around, giving the petals a playful, loose look.  The apples were painted in simple strokes, with a wide bright brush.  This painting is available...contact Kay for more info.  Have a great day...I am glad to start 2018 working in the studio.  KMW
