The Long Road Ahead

The Long Road Ahead
14" x 14" Old on Gallery Wrap Canvas
Contemporary Landscape Painting
This painting started with a photograph taken by my husband years ago.  I liked the road, and the hint of flowers along the countryside.  I don't know where the photo was taken, but I took my artistic license and changed the colors, but wanted the long road to disappear into the horizon.  The color palette is somewhat toned down for me...but I enjoyed experimenting with the lavenders, magentas and olive greens.  Thanks for looking at this blog...Contact me if you have any questions or comments.  This painting is for sale...and needs a new home.  Thanks, Kay

20" x 20" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas
Contemporary Longhorn
Inspired by a photograph taken by Renn Lawrence...thank you Renn!  I couldn't take my eyes of this longhorn, and finished him in the studio yesterday.  I amped up the colors, but used the photograph as a reference.  I loved the golden yellows, ochres and oranges on his coat.  He is drying at the studio right now...Thanks for looking at him.  Contact Kay Wyne for more information on Cactus Ranger.  Kay

applied with a palette knife.  If you are interested in

On My Easel....

On My Easel....
One good looking bull on a 20" x 20" Gallery Wrap Canvas
I found this pic (taped to my easel on the left) that photographer Renn Lawrence took.  I asked permission to use it and could not wait to paint this bull.  Here is my progress:
Sketching it out on the canvas with some paint and a filbert.
 Covering the canvas with paint.
Starting to paint in the large shapes.
After two sessions at the easel, I have more work to do.  
More painting after the weekend...thanks for looking
at this blog and the art posted here.  Kay

I am getting ready to send this painting to a gallery now that is dry.  Loose, bold brush strokes made this painting so much fun to work on.  How many times have you been on a trip and the road ahead is long and narrow and disappears into the horizon?  This road wanders back into the wide-open landscape.  Contact Kay if you have any questions or comments on this painting.  Thanks for looking at this blog....Kay

Floral Still Life

Floral Still Life
12" x 12" Oil on RayMar Cotton Panel
Contemporary Floral
I am working on my values, and in doing so I am painting the same painting over and over.  I seem to do well at the beginning of a painting to put in my darks, but somewhere down the line I let go of that thought and my darks disappear into the mid-tones.  I have painted this jar of flowers three times....this is the second painting.  So after I work on a commission today, I am going to paint it again for the fourth time.  I had a critique session at the studio, and it was obvious to me that my darks need to get darker, and my lights need to get lighter in all of my paintings.  Thanks for looking at my paintings....Kay
