Buttercup

Buttercup

Contemporary Cow

18" x 24" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

I completed this painting in the studio today.  I just made some minor changes that have an impact on this Buttercup...her colors are so warm and rich.  So buttery....I thought that Buttercup was ideal for her name.  Hi lights and low lights and some random splashes of turquoise and coral punch it up.  For the most part I used a flat wide brush, but in the end, used a small filbert to scrub in some color and abstract lines.  Contact Kay for more information and photos on Buttercup.  Have an artful day.....KMW

18" x 18" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

Contemporary Pig Painting

I remember driving through a farm in the midwest, where the cows, horses and pigs were running loose.  This pig looked as if he was going to walk up to me and start a conversation.  I could tell he had personality, and that is what I painted on the canvas...a pig with attitude!   Piggy Piggy is sold, but I do paint commissions.  Contact Kay for more information on the art posted here.  Thanks, Kay

Elsie

Sold

16" x 20" Oil on Canvas

Contemporary Cow Painting

Elsie now lives in Connecticut with a very lovely family, perched up on a fireplace mantel.  I started a similar painting at the studio today, because I have been missing Elsie.  She had great color, texture and character.  The canvas that I started painting on today is larger, but same portrait proportions.  This is one of my favorite subjects to paint....the cow has such personality, individuality, and panache!  I hope to post a new contemporary cow in the next day or two....Thanks for looking....Kay

Best Day

Best Day

16" x 20" Oil on RayMar Cotton Panel

Contemporary Landscape Painting

On a recent trip to Santa Fe, John Wyne and I took the High Road to Taos and drove through a wonderful part of New Mexico.  The long and winding road took us through some amazing countryside.  One of my favorite things to photograph is old churches, missions and cemeteries.  The wildflowers were scattered through the cemetery, which was located next to a country church on top of a hill.  The old stones and graves have character, making it a great subject to paint.  The day after we returned to Dallas from the trip, I had to paint the scene while it was fresh in my mind.

Here it is framed up in a new Randy Higbee Gallery Frame.  The moulding is 3 1/2 inches wide, so total framed piece is 22 1/2" x 26 1/2" with a rubbed grey stain and gold lip. This painting is hanging in the studio...if you have any questions or comments, please contact ME.  Thanks for looking at this blog....have an artful day.  Kay

I See Everything

36" x 18" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

Contemporary Piggy Painting

I photographed this very large pig on a farm in the midwest.  I loved his coloring and his eyes...although you can't see them, I know he was seeing everything around him.  He filled up the canvas, with his imposing size.  This painting is at the studio and is looking for a new home.  Contact Kay for purchasing info.  Thanks for looking...Kay

Blue Skies Above

Blue Skies Above

24" x 36" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

Contemporary Landscape Painting

Blue Skies Above is now one of my favorite paintings in the studio.  I reworked this painting several times, and I worked on the color changes.  The sky is very thick with layers of oil applied with the palette knife and wide brush.  The greens and grey lavenders are earthy.  The sky and horizon line fade in the distance.  Your eye can follow the road as it wanders through the painting.  This painting would look great in a frame, although it can be hung without.  Contact Kay for more info.  Thanks for looking....Kay

George is a handsome Buff Orpington rooster, and is the mascot at our local Gecko Hardware Store in Lake Highlands.  I snapped a photo of him on in tree branch outside the store...I wanted to get his beautiful feathers and full body in this painting.  I loved layering the paint to get a full-chested and fluffy George on canvas.  This painting is drying now at the studio....contact Kay if you have any questions or comments concerning George.  Thanks, Kay

Blue Skies Above

24" x 36" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

Contemporary Landscape Painting

This is a re-do from a painting that I was not happy with, and although I normally don't go back into a re-do, re-work, re-paint, re-finished painting, but I did this twice.  I am happier with this impressionistic landscape, and I am not going to change it....again.!!!!  I like the hint of the lavender in the foreground, and the swirling, moving clouds.  I used a wide brush and a medium sized palette knife to apply the paint.  Thanks for looking at this blog, and this painting...Kay

I was looking through my paintings yesterday and came across one of my favorites, "Shea Baby".  I loved painting this dog...she was a beautiful yellow lab, who always had her tennis ball, ready to play.  I used wide brushes, bold strokes and exaggerated the colors.  Contact Kay for more information on this painting....or any other paintings posted here.  Thanks, Kay

George Being George

George Being George

12" x 16" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

Contemporary Palette Knife Painting

George, was sitting in his cage up at Gecko Hardware Store in Lake Highlands when I visited him last week.  He was perched up on a branch, taking in the wonderful fall weather.  I put the chicken wire in the background of this painting...or at least implied it.  He was sitting there, just being George.  Therefore, the title, "George Being George". I used thick layers of paint, along with the palette knife to  paint this canvas.  The gallery wrap canvas is is painted on the sides, so no frame is needed.  Contact ME for more information on this painting...It is drying at the studio.  Thanks for looking....Kay
