This painting has a new home!  This is one of my Wildflower Landscapes that I painted in 2014.  I worked on a series of them, and have explored many possibilities with this subject matter.  I am starting next year out with a paint challenge, and hoping to have a creative and productive 2015.  I think I will paint whatever I feel like painting...with Roosters and Cows at the top of my list.  I hope you all have a safe and fun New Years Eve!  Kay

Windy December

Windy December
8" x 10" Oil on RayMar Cotton Panel
Landscape Plein Air

As I post this today the wind is howling and makes me feel as I did the day I painted this small painting.  It was a cold and windy day at White Rock Lake.  As you can imagine, it was hard keeping all of my painting equipment together.  I started with a brush, but ended up painting with a palette knife.  I was painting with a Monday morning plein air group.  Outdoor situations make you paint fast and deliberate.  I probably need to get out of the studio and paint outdoors more in 2015.  This painting is for sale....contact Kay if you have comments or questions.  Thanks for looking....Kay

Thick oils, bold colors and lots of texture make this painting a cheery one.  It would look great framed up or sitting on an easel.  I like this size panel...it's not small, it's not big....it's just a great medium size format.  Contact Kay if you would like to purchase...Thanks, and enjoy your Christmas Eve with friends and family.  KMW

Contemporary Rooster Painting

This palette knife painting is fun, colorful and has lots of texture.  You can see the layers of paint, as it was applied with a knife.  You can't help but want to put your hands over the surface and feel the chunks of paint.  The paint is also on the sides of the stretcher bars, so framing is optional.  Contact Kay for more information on this painting.  Thanks for looking...Kay

This is by far the smallest painting I have painted.  I have it drying at the studio and then it will be at Dutch Art Gallery in Dallas, Texas.  This isn't a very good pic because of the shadow, but I did not want to handle the panel because the paint is so wet.  I have three more smalls to paint and a commission to finish before Christmas.  Then I am going to get ready for another 30 Paintings in 30 Days Paint Challenge.  Thanks for looking....Kay

This little rooster is all framed up and ready to find a new home!  Pam Massar Dutch Art Gallery in Dallas asked me to paint a small rooster in a very small frame...painting on a 3" x 3" canvas is challenging....I prefer a 30" x 30"!!!!  But, I pulled out two new brushes that were tiny, and here's my results.  As you can see, I am holding the frame and it is small!  Thus, the name of this rooster is Itty-Bitty.  I have four more smalls that I am working on, along with a commission for a Christmas gift...more painting today!  Thanks for looking...Kay

24" x 20" Oil on Gallery Wrap Linen

Contemporary Palette Knife Painting

Raw natural linen is what I painted this still life on.  The red tulips were gorgeous in an arrangement that was leftover from a Valentine's Day gift...I loved the shapes of the flowers and the refection in the glass vase with the stems in it.  I put some dark torrit grey paint at the vase...to ground it. I used the palette knife on this linen, and let the natural linen show through, not painting it all out.  Thick, thick, thick paint adds texture and interest to this contemporary floral, giving it an abstract quality. Contact Kay for more information on this painting.  Thanks, Kay

Impulsive

Impulsive

18" x 18" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

Contemporary Floral Landscape

Yesterday, when I was at the Dutch Art Gallery in Dallas, Texas I was talking to a couple who admired this painting.  I said that it was a part of of a series that I have been work on - Floral Landscapes.  They thought it was an abstract with roosters in it.  So if that is what they see in this painting, it is an abstract rooster painting.  I see patches of color indicating wildflowers popping up in the landscape.  If you let your imagination run wild you could probably see something other than roosters or flowers.  I used alot of impasto, palette knives, brushes and cut-away tools with the oils on this painting.  Lots of texture.  Anyway, the reception for the juried art show, Pursuit of the Southwest was good.  Lots of people attended, and there were four or five paintings sold through out the day.  Thanks for looking at this blog....contact Kay for more info.  Kay

Missed The Boat

Missed The Boat

12" x 12" Oil on RayMar Cotton Panel

Contemporary Palette Knife Painting

An old dinghy tied up to a dock caught my eye when we were in a small fishing village in Maine.  I loved the old and weathered metal on the boat.  It was rusty and rough.  The water skimmed over the rocks leading up to the shore.  I used a palette knife to give the rocks and dinghy texture and depth.  This painting looks great framed up in a dark wood moulding.  Contact Kay for more information on this painting.  Thanks for looking...Kay

Shea Baby

30" x 24" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

Contemporary Oil Painting

Shea was our third lab, and a great dog.  She was always fetching a tennis ball.  I used bold brush strokes on the canvas, and kept the painting loose.  This painting is one of my favorites because I captured Shea's personality.  I probably need to do another pet portrait of Penny Lane and Gurl.  Even though they don't get along.  Happy day after Thanksgiving...we will be putting the Christmas tree up!  Contact Kay for more information on my animal paintings.  Kay

I thought I was finished with this painting, but now that I look at it on my computer, I may need to go back in and add more color.  The paint is very thick and chunky.  I used impasto so that I could have lots of texture and it would dry quickly.  I will post tomorrow any changes that I make on it in the studio.  Thanks for looking.....Contact ME for more information on this painting.  Kay

Four Square

Four Square

36" x 36" Mixed Media on Gallery Wrap Canvas

Contemporary Rooster Painting

Four Square is a large square canvas, with four rooster images painted with wide brush strokes.  Each rooster is painted differently, as if they have their own personality and individuality.  The close-up image below shows that there is an abstract quality to the images of these fun roosters.  I amped up the color, and exaggerated the features on the fine feathered creatures.

Here is a closer look at the rooster in the top right corner of the painting.  As you can see, there are layers of paint, ink and oil sticks on the canvas.  Since this is on a gallery wrap canvas, a frame is optional.  This contemporary rooster painting is looking for a new home...contact Kay if you are interested in this painting.  Thanks, Kay

Empty Nest Waiting

You can see the wide brushstrokes in the background...I didn't get fussy with it.  I painted it, and left the paint so that the brush strokes were visible.  The sticks and twigs of the nest are thick and textured.  Thanks for looking at this blog.....Kay
