Contemporary Floral Still Life

Using a limited palette, I mixed my colors for this quick floral.

It was a good exercise, and I am going to paint with three colors and white for a while.  I was playing around with the possibilities.  Thanks for looking at my blog...Kay

Pecan Leaves

9" x 12" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

Contemporary Abstract

I have a studio mate who might share a photo or drawing or idea with me, and we both paint in our own styles.  Last week she brought a pecan leaf, and I had fun abstracting it and using a different color palette. First I started with a toned canvas.  I think it was Cad Orange.  Then I drew some big shapes with a willow charcoal stick.  I limited myself to three greens for the leaves, and simplified the viens that were running through the leaves.  Here's my finished product...it is always fun to see how others interpret and see things differently - that's why I like paint challenges.  Thanks for looking.....Kay

Who doesn't like a cheeseburger?  This small panel is a great conversation piece...everyone can talk about their favorite cheeseburger joint!  This painting is framable, but can also be propped up on an easel or a kitchen counter.  Contact Kay for more info.  Thanks for looking at my blog!  KMW

16" x 8" Oil on RayMar Cotton Panel

Contemporary Floral

As I was thumbing through my reference photos, I found a great shot of a bearded iris.  It is such a beautiful and complicated flower, with ruffled and lacey petals that are layered.  It was fun to paint, even though the iris is so much more beautiful in person.  This painting is custom framed, and at Dutch Art Gallery in Dallas, and this painting is available for purchase.  Thanks for looking at my blog, Kay

24" x 36" Oil and Charcoal on Gallery Wrap Canvas

Contemporary Abstract

This abstract started out as a floral, and morphed into something else.  I had a very good time working on it, using lots of thick juicy oils.  At the end I wanted some calligraphy and some smaller strokes, so I used a willow charcoal stick and a small tool made for ceramics.  I like the movement and the color palette on this canvas...it's happy and fun!  Thanks for looking at my blog.  Contact Kay for more info on the art posted here.  Thanks, Kay
