Ki-Wa-Wi-Ka by Kay Wyne

Ki-Wa-Wi-Ka
24" x 30" Oil on Canvas

Summers in Northern Michigan are special.  The cottage that the Wyne family owned was charming and comfortable.  Ki-Wa-Wi-Ka (built in 1902) always looked like the same, summer after summer.  This painting brings back many memories...happy family times Up North.  I started this painting in 1995, and found it stashed away in the garage.  John urged me to finish it, so I took it to the studio to paint on it.  I am not sure, but it might be finished...I will let it sit and dry for a while.  After 23 years, I am glad that I was pushed to complete it.  Thanks for looking at my blog...Kay

Windy December by Kay Wyne

Windy December

8" x 10" Oil on RayMar Cotton Panel

En Plein Air Palette Knife Painting

This is probably one of my favorite plein air paintings.  I have so many paintings that I started outside, but was unable to finish.  I stuck it out on this one, even though it was a very cold and windy December day at White Rock Lake.  I like the feel of the painting...kind of moody, and because I used the palette knife, there was a lot of scraping and modeling of the oils.  This painting is available, and looks great in a dark mahogany wood frame with a gold inside liner.  Contact Kay for more information.  Thanks, KMW

The Guardian by Kay Wyne

The Guardian

48" x 24" Oil on Canvas

Contemporary Landscape Painting

A recent trip to Arizona gave me the perfect opportunity to get some photographs of the amazing Saguaro Cactus.  The title, "The Guardian" hit me as my cousin Chuck told me that in his mind, the huge Saguaros as the guardians of the desert.  These gigantic cacti are located in Tucson and the surrounding desert...and OMG their presence is everywhere!  

I wanted to put down on canvas what the Saguaro looked like when we were standing next to it...the trunk was old, rigid and weathered, but as you look up to the newer growth, the limbs were small, smoother and more colorful.   I also wanted to capture the light of the desert. Here are a few photographs of my progress from start to finish on this canvas.  

Thank you for looking at my blog and this new painting.  Contact Kay for more information on "The Guardian".  KMW

On my easel...

I started a 30" x 40" gallery wrap canvas yesterday in the studio.

Here you can see I have two layers of transparent paint down.  I don't have a game plan at this time, just painting.  At this stage, anything is possible.

Currently, I have three canvases going right now, with hopes to complete at least one of them today.  Have a great day!  Contact Kay with any questions or comments.  KMW
