Peek A Boo

Peek A Boo

12" x 12" Oil on RayMar Cotton Panel

Contemporary Floral

What do you do when you get a new toy?  You play with it!!!  I got some new printer's rollers this week...in three different sizes.  I started spreading thin layers of paint with the rollers, and ended up with a globby mess.  Or so I thought.  I let the paint sit for a couple of days, and then looked for shapes, and I found sunflowers growing in tall grass.  Here's my finished painting, "Peek A Boo"!!!! This painting is available for purchase, and is hanging at Dutch Art Gallery in Dallas.  Thanks for looking at my blog!  Kay

Golden Blooms

Golden Blooms

24" x 24" Oil and Gold Leaf on Canvas

Contemporary Floral

This canvas is drying in the studio, and needs a coat of varnish, along with a frame to finish it off.  The colors bounce off of the gold leaf that I applied on the canvas after an undercoat of black.  I like the way the eye moves around the canvas, going from petal to petal.  My hope is to frame this up and hang in my house until somebody decides that they want to give "Golden Blooms" a forever home!  Thanks for looking at my blog....contact me with any questions.  Have an artful day.....KMW

Sunflower Still Life

 

Sunflower Still Life

12" x 16" Oil on RayMar Cotton Panel

Contemporary Still Life

I painted this still life during the pandemic, but had forgotten to photograph it.  I had a handful of sunflowers from our local florist, and put them in a ceramic pot for the set-up.  This painting is available for purchase.  It will look handsome all framed up!  Thanks for looking at my art.  Contact KAY for more information.  KMW

Guardian of the Desert

Guardian of the Desert

30" x 15" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

Contemporary Landscape

The Saguaro cactus grows in Arizona, having a long lifespan of 150 years or more.  I can only think that this one has many years on it.  The arms are massive and very interesting in shape and the way they twist and turn from the trunk. John and I found this large Saguaro in Sabino Canyon in Tucson, Arizona.  I wanted to paint all the different colors of the desert that you see when you are there in person, and using my imagination, added some beautiful violets, corals, greens and greys.  This large Saguaro fills the canvas, giving it a presence on the canvas, just as it does in the desert.  Contact Kay for more info.  Thanks for looking at my blog.  Kay

Sunflower Power

 

Sunflower Power

8" x 16" Oil on RayMar Cotton Panel

Contemporary Floral Still Life

As I was playing around with the beautiful sunflowers I purchased from T.J., my eye zoomed in and I did a quick 90 minute painting.  When I paint quickly without any fussiness, my paintings are loose and free.  "Sunflower Power" is a good example of that.  These five flowers were so much fun to paint!  Thanks for looking at my blog.  Have an artful day.  Kay

Limited Palette

 

Limited Palette 

I painted these three 8" x 8" panels with a limited palette of Alizarin, Ultramarine, Cad Yellow Medium, and Titanium.  Clearly, you can mix wonderful colors with just three colors.  I should do it more often.  It makes me focus on composition and simplifies the painting process.  Thanks for looking at my blog...Kay
