Distant Horizon by Kay Wyne

Distant Horizon
14" x 14" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas
Contemporary Palette Knife Painting
This painting is one of several in a series...all same size canvas, similar color palette, all exploring the landscape.  I usually have issues painting with green, but I found some greens that I liked....I mixed and mixed and mixed.  And probably won't be be able to repeat this green because I was experimenting with my paints and didn't write my recipe for this color down.  There are four more pieces that are possible companion pieces...for a grouping.  Check back tomorrow for another painting!  Contact Kay for purchasing information.  Thanks, Kay

Rattled by Kay Wyne

Rattled
24" x 24" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas
Abstract Palette Knife Painting
This painting went through many changes, starting out as a landscape, turning into some dark abstract aspens, then a tornado hit it. (Everyone saw the tornado in the painting!) It was a wiper for sure. I rescued the canvas, but painted it on a day when I was really rattled. I was interrupted at the studio numerous times...therefore, the title, "Rattled". This painting is a detour from my normal palette, being on the dark and muted side of the color spectrum. Thanks for looking at the art on this blog....contact Kay for more information on this painting or the art posted on this blog.

Untitled Abstract by Kay Wyne

Landscape
Untitled
14" x 14" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas
Contemporary Abstract
I have been exploring and experimenting with some abstract landscapes at the studio.  I wanted to paint a simple, but interesting landscape with a winding road and a few wildflowers.  Sometimes simplifying is the best way to go on the canvas.  More of these small 14" x 14" pieces are in the works.  Thanks for looking at this blog....Kay

Blue Skies Ahead by Kay Wyne

Blue Skies Ahead
24" x 36" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas
Contemporary Wildflower Landscape
This painting is completed, signed and drying on my easel.  Broad brush strokes, palette knife work, and vivid colors are characteristics found in the contemporary landscape.  Blue Skies Ahead was a challenge for me, and it went through several phases before I was able to call it completed.  

I started this painting with a base coat of turquoise---and in some places that paint peeks through.  The colorful sky and fast moving clouds were easy to put in, and I was careful to keep my darks dark; lights light; and mid-tones mid-tones.  I used a large filbert and huge amounts of paint for that.  

I was able to put in the background with some muted greys, lavenders, and greens.  The foreground colors were not easy to mix.  I wanted golden ochres, earthy greens and violet blues.  The blue bonnets have four and five different colors of blues, mostly applied with the palette knife.  I put a road in, with it fading off into the background.  More landscapes to come.  Contact Kay for more information on this painting.  Thanks for viewing....Kay

Landscape by Kay Wyne

Landscape
Oil on Linen

This painting was inspired by a photo that my husband took about fifteen years ago when he went to New Mexico and Colorado on a fishing trip.

Fickle by Kay Wyne

Fickle
14" x 11" Oil on Canvas

This abstract still life has sharp edges, bold colors and texture.  I used my palette knife on most of work, along with a few brushstrokes.  This small piece has painted edges, but would look great in a contemporary frame.  Contact Kay for more info on this painting.  Thanks, KMW

Out On A Limb

Out On A Limb
12" x 36" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas
This contemporary oil painting is colorful and happy...these five songbirds are gathered on a limb.  I enjoyed painting this although the format of the canvas was a challenge...12" x 36" is not my regular size canvas, and I had to be careful not to place the birds in a straight line across the horizontal canvas.  This painting is ready to go to a gallery next week.  Thanks for looking at my art....Kay

Colors Of My World

Colors Of My World
8" x 16" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas
Contemporary Palette Knife Painting

I am currently working on a new series of landscape paintings...it is a good time to explore and experiment with my paints.  Now I am in the studio for a long stretch of time, all day long with few interruptions.  I have 16 paintings started, all at different stages.  Most are landscapes---and one cow.  The cow is a challenge.  

This small wildflower landscape is completed.  The colors in the wildflowers are bouncing off of each other.  I must say that I did borrowed some paint from Sharon in the studio since she had piles of paint mixed up.  Huge piles of beautiful paint...so much paint that the dogs got into the paint today!  Thanks for looking at this blog and the art posted here.  Contact Kay for more information.  This painting does not require a frame since it is on a thick gallery wrap canvas.  KMW

Obscurity

Obscurity
8" x 16" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas
Contemporary Palette Knife Painting
Uncertainty and obscurity comes to my mind when I look at this small abstract painting.  I was working towards a landscape with my palette knife and paints.  I worked and moved the paint across the canvas.  I see a nocturnal scene with earthy colors.  This painting has layers of color, and abstract shapes to pull the eye into the painting.  This is on a thick gallery wrap canvas, and the sides are painted, so a frame is optional.  Contact Kay for more info on this painting or the art posted here.  Thank you for viewing....Kay

Landscape

Amazing Color
Floral Landscape
60" x 48" Oil on Canvas
Contemporary Palette Knife Painting
I just competed this landscape painting over the weekend.  It has fans on it, drying.  I used wide brushes, large palette knifes and lots of thick paint.  There are layers of paint, lots of texture and the wildflowers are so colorful you just want to touch them.  Since I used a gallery wrap canvas, a frame is optional.  Ready to hang as is.  Contact Kay for more information on this painting.  Thanks, Kay

Peaceful

Peaceful
Contemporary Landscape Painting
12" x 16" Oil on Canvas
This painting went through some difficult stages before I decided it was complete.  Actually, the canvas was larger, and I cut the canvas down after I had finished painting.  I normally don't do that, but I felt that the composition worked better without so much canvas.  I believe it was originally an 18" x 18".  I used a palette knife all the way on this one...there is texture and depth in the landscape.  The skies are soft and whispy.


This painting is back from the framers and is ready to hang...

Golden Fields

Golden Fields
8" x 16" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas
Contemporary Palette Knife Painting
I got my palette knife out for this painting...I used thick, juicy globs of oils...so it will take some time for it to dry.  I wanted to paint a landscape that would take the eye from the foreground to the horizon.  The wildflowers are put in with very little detail...just shapes, color and texture.  This painting is drying in the studio right now, but will be shipped to a gallery once it is dry.  Thanks for looking at the art posted here.  Contact Kay if you have any questions or comments.  Thank you...Kay
