At Last

At Last
24" x 12" Oil on Canvas
Needs a frame.
This still life painting was inspired by the beautiful violet tulips that were in the studio last week after the reception and exhibit for Lynn Rushton.  A celebration of Lynn's Master's Thesis brought so many of her friends and family together for a wonderful evening.  This floral arrangement was one of several that spoke to me...and so I am dedicating this painting to Lynn finishing her Master's Thesis.....At Last.  Feel free to contact Kay for more info on this painting.  Thanks, Kay

Misty by Kay Wyne

Misty
30" x 30" Oil on Canvas
Contemporary Palette Knife Painting
This painting needs a handsome frame.  
This palette knife painting has gone through many changes, with layers and layers of color.  I moved and pushed the paint around, changed the colors, changed the horizon line and the path.  It was a misty and moody day in Dallas...and I saw alot of the greys, lavenders and the start of spring green when I painted this.  It has an impressionistic feel to it.  I don't know how long it will take to dry, even with the impasto.....but I think it will look nice framed up.  Contact Kay for more information on this painting.  Thanks for looking at this blog.....Kay

Below The Turquoise Sky

Below The Turquoise Sky
20" x 20" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas
Contemporary Landscape Painting
Frame is optional.
Inspired by the beautiful turquoise skies of New Mexico, this painting has beautiful billowy clouds moving across the canvas.  The clouds are full of lavender, pink, coral, lemon, and grey.  I like to sit and watch the clouds move across the sky---and pareidolia takes over, as I see random images and patterns. Looking at my reference photographs is always fun when I can capture something new and different with the camera.  I wanted to capture the fast moving clouds on canvas in this painting.  Thanks for looking at my art....Kay

Most everyone in Lake Highlands know George, the beautiful rooster at the local hardware store.  This painting of George was a painting demonstration at Dutch Art Gallery in Dallas, Texas.  George modeled in the gallery and then got tired of it all, so I had to work quickly.  This painting is hanging at the gallery...contact owner Pam Massar for more info.  Thanks for looking at this blog.  Kay

Sitting Pretty by Kay Wyne

Sitting Pretty
12" x 12" Oil on Canvas
Contemporary Floral Still Life
$575
This small painting was completed in the studio yesterday.  I need to sign it and let dry before framing it up.  I had lots of great colors on my palette, and loved playing with the roses, reds, corals, violets and greys.  My intention was to get the palette knife out, but stuck with my flat brush.    I mixed and mixed my colors for this painting, but was careful not to mix them on the canvas, just  putting the paint down, and not going back into it, making each stroke count.   Contact Kay for more info on this small floral arrangement.  Thanks, Kay

Yesterday was a scraper day at the studio.  Nothing really worked well for me on my easel.  I will be working on something new today.  This painting is currently drying.  The palette knife was used on this panel, creating texture.  I used the side of the knife to fracture the paint and cut into it.  Contact Kay for more info.  Thanks for looking at this blog.  Kay

Perky by Kay Wyne

Perky
8" x 8" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas
Contemporary Still Life Painting
$256
This little painting was painting with clean brushstrokes and thick oils.  I was using an old photograph of a floral arrangement that was given to daughter Lindsay...and simplified it, abstracted it on this small canvas.  I usually paint on large canvases but today I went for a perky little floral arrangement.  I wanted the colors to be crisp and vibrant.  Contact ME for purchasing info on this cute little painting.  The sides of the canvas are painted, so no frame is needed.  It is ready to hang on your wall!  Thanks, Kay

Shea Baby

Shea Baby
30" x 24" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas
Contemporary Dog Painting
Labs are great dogs, and we have had three of them in the past 32 years.  Two blacks, and then Shea who was a beautiful yellow labrador.  This is a rather large canvas, and I used wide, swooping brushstrokes to give the impression of movement.  She was always on the move, and loved her tennis ball. I wanted to capture her personality on canvas.  Thanks for looking at this blog.....Kay

Tickled Pink

Tickled Pink
18" x 24" Oil on Gallery Wrap 
Contemporary Palette Knife Painting
Contact Kay for more info on this painting.
Tickled Pink is a palette knife painting that has very thick players of paint on the canvas. I loved mixing the piles of gooey oils in orange, pink, lavender and corals for this contemporary palette knife painting.  I had painted a similar painting several months ago, but it was lacking in depth, so this is my answer to that issue!!!  This is a close-up shot of the painting so that you can see the body and thick build-up of the oils.
Thanks for looking at my art....I hope we are finished with the snow and ice...more painting in the studio tomorrow.  Have an artful day!  Kay

Blue Skies Above

Blue Skies Above
Contemporary Landscape Painting
24" x 36" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas
I know we are all longing for warm, blue skies with the weather we have been having in Texas.  So today's post is a contemporary landscape painting.  It is very painterly.  I was generous with the paint, and used a wide brush to lay in the colors.  I was at the studio painting for ten hours straight yesterday, and completed two paintings, worked on a large painting, and forgot to take pics.  I am really excited about the two paintings that are signed and drying.  I have a 4 woman show coming up and need to have a dozen new pieces.  More on that later.  Comments or questions....email ME.  Thanks, Kay

Rattled

Rattled
24" x 24" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas
Contemporary Abstract
Can you tell the mood I was in when I painted this abstract?  Totally rattled and annoyed.  Not my usual color palette, but bold and masculine.  I was frustrated about a phone call while at the studio, and just started painting with the paints that were out on the palette.  I mixed alot with a palette knife, and got the oil sticks out, creating movement and energy on the canvas.  This painting is available....contact Kay for purchasing info.  Thanks, Kay

20" x 24" Oil on Canvas

Framed in a simple gold but elegant frame, this still life painting is full of interesting flowers, ceramics, fabric and fruit.  The light hitting the peonies are as dramatic as the cast shadows.  I remember painting this...I thought the set-up was so beautiful.  Contact Kay for purchasing info.  Thanks, Kay
