3" x 3" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

Yes, this is a 3 inch (not feet) painting.  Very tiny, and sits on it's own easel.

As an artist who loves to paint on large surfaces, this little canvas was not easy for me.  I will be placing these at Dutch Art Gallery in Dallas, Texas.  Thanks for looking at this blog.....Kay 

Bountiful

Bountiful

36" x 60" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

Contemporary Floral Painting

Starting with a photograph of John's roses, I quickly added some other flowers to the canvas.  This painting is bold, colorful and graphic.  It has brushstrokes that you can see, along with palette knife work, both creating lots of texture.  This painting is hanging at the studio drying, and while I may make some minor changes, it is completed.  The thick paint will take a while to dry, and then I will need to varnish.  The sides of the canvas are painted black, and a frame is optional.  Thanks for looking at Bountiful,  Contact Kay for more information on this contemporary floral.  Kay

36" x 36" Oil on Heavy Duty Gallery Wrap Canvas

Contemporary Floral Landscape

I started this colorful landscape a couple of months ago and didn't know what I was going to do with the background.  So I left it, and went on to some other paintings.  It would of been easier for me if I figured the background out before I started on the foreground.  But I don't always do things the easy and most logical method.  So, I am going to change the sky, horizon line and background.  So pretty much 2/3 of the canvas will be a different color palette.  This is my project for the week...I hope to post a completed painting soon.  Thanks for looking at this blog....Kay

Color My World

Color My World

14" x 10" Canvas on Panel

Contemporary Floral Landscape

This painting is drying at the studio.  I have two layers of paint on the panel, then lots of palette knife work.  I used impasto to get some texture on the smooth canvas.  The photograph may not show, but the clouds are thick, broad strokes of oils with the knife.  I will get this framed once it is dry...it needs to sit right now so that the paint won't get smudged up.  Feel free to contact ME for purchasing info.  Thanks for looking, Kay

My Kind Of Day

My Kind Of Day

8" x 8" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

Contemporary Landscape Painting

This is small landscape painting was painted with a flat brush and with thick oils.  The painting has depth, and you can follow the path into the field, back to the horizon.  I want the viewer to feel as if he or she is looking out into the spacious landscape, looking at the beautiful vista.  

Here is a pic of the painting hanging, with the edges of the gallery wrap canvas...small parts of the black background peek through.  Framing is not necessary...once I varnish this piece it will be ready to hang!  Contact Kay for more info.  Thanks for looking!  Kay

Oh Happy Day!

Oh Happy Day!

18" x 36" Oil on Heavy Duty Gallery Wrap Canvas

Contemporary Still Life Painting

My favorite canvas shape is the square, but I really like the canvas I picked for this horizontal still life.  The vase of flowers is intentionally off-center.  The bouquet fills the canvas and is spilling over the edges, implying that the bouquet is full and over-flowing.  I used the palette knife on most of this painting.  The canvas has plenty of texture color.  I focused on lavenders and greens and greys and mixed piles and piles of oils when I painted this.  This painting is for sale, and is hanging at Dutch Art Gallery in Dallas, Texas.  Thanks for looking at my blog!  Kay

Big Sky

Big Sky

36" x 36" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

Contemporary Landscape Painting

This painting is calm and peaceful.  The clouds are drifting off at a slow pace, and it makes you look and try to find images in the sky.  I want the viewer to imagine standing in a large and quiet wide open field with the clouds moving, making interesting images.  This painting is for sale, so if you have any comments or questions, please contact ME.  This painting looks very good without a frame...although it is an option.  Thanks for looking at this blog, KAY

Contemporary Abstract Painting

I remember the day that I painted this contemporary abstract.  As I was starting this painting in the studio when I received a very annoying telephone call from a gallery owner.  The interruption shifted my mood and the plans I had for the canvas.  I was derailed.  The color palette that I used and the bold strokes tell that on the canvas.  I used oil sticks and oil paints with brushes and a palette knife to indicate the frustration and energy I had that day.  This painting is at the studio, and would love to move to a new home.  Contact Kay for more info.  Thanks for looking at this blog...Kay 

Below The Turquoise Sky

Below The Turquoise Sky

18" x 18" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

Contemporary Landscape Painting

A low sky of clouds give this painting a feeling of change, that a storm is moving in.  The clouds have thick brush strokes and they are heavy hanging over the horizon line.  This landscape is for sale.  Contact ME for purchasing info.  Framing is optional...right now it doesn't have a a frame.  Thanks for looking, Kay

Impulsive

18" x 18" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

Contemporary Floral Landscape

Color, texture, and movement are found in this contemporary palette knife painting.  I used brushes, palette knives and a sculpting tool to achieve this abstract look.  I actually started with a painting underneath...one that I wasn't happy with.  So when scraping through the top layer of oils the colors from the first painting show through.  This painting is hanging at Dutch Art Gallery in Dallas, Texas.  Thanks for looking at this blog....Kay

On my easel....

This painting is on my easel...

I started with a 36" x 60" gallery wrap canvas.

Here are a few pics of the progress.

I usually work on a tinted canvas but wanted to do something different, 

so I went with a black background on the canvas.

Then I had a few shapes sketched in very loose and abstract using chalk.

I couldn't wait to get into the paints and get color on the canvas.

I used a wide flat brush, and mixed piles of corals, pinks, magentas and violets.

I was using this photograph of a rose from our front yard planter...John's got a wonderful green thumb.  I especially liked the rose buds surrounding the flowering rose.

I realized that the rose on the left of the canvas was getting out of control and too large, so I used the palette knife and started scraping and re-shapping the petals.  This is where I stopped....I can't wait to get back into the studio and tackle this canvas.  I plan to add another large flower to balance out the composition.

Thanks for looking at this blog...Kay

Missed The Boat

Missed the Boat

12" x 12" Oil on RayMar Cotton Panel

Contemporary Palette Knife Painting

A trip to Maine gave me the inspiration to paint this small dinghy that was tied up in a fishing village.  I liked the rust and color changes on the metal, the textures in the rocks, and the variations in the water as it rippled across the rocks.  This small painting is available, and looks great framed up.  Contact Kay for more information.  Thanks for looking at this blog.  Kay

Landscape Plein Air

I remember the day I painted this one....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.  This painting is for sale....contact Kay if you have comments or questions.  Thanks for looking....Kay

24" x 36" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

Contemporary Oil Painting

Since today is the running of the Kentucky Derby, I am posting one of my paintings from my equine series.  This colorful painting has a very geometrical and simple background, so that the eye goes straight to the jockey sitting on the race horse.  The brushstrokes are bold and loose.  I wanted to capture the strength and speed of the horse on canvas.  This painting is ready to hang, no frame needed.  Contact ME for purchasing information.  Thanks for looking at this blog......Kay

The Gathering

The Gathering

Contemporary Palette Knife Painting

Floral Still Life

Contact Pam Massar at Dutch Art Gallery in Dallas, Texas for purchasing information.  This was a demonstration from last week's reception at the gallery.  Here was my set-up with the floral arrangement.  For some reason the white drop cloth decided to fall when I took this pic.

I thought that since we were gathered for a day of art demos and art reception, that I would name this painting "The Gathering".  I am sure that Pam will frame it in a lovely gold or silver frame.  Feel free to contact ME with any comments or questions concerning this painting.  Have a great day....Kay
