12" x 16" Oil on RayMar Cotton Panel

Contemporary Oil Painting

Many years ago John and I were exploring the wide open roads of New Mexico.  We came across an old gas station/trading post with vintage gas pumps and signs.  I took the opportunity to take a few pics, as it was a rustic and nostalgic location, located close to the Rio Grande River.  I cropped down the photograph and made my own composition..."Fil Er Up". I loved the retro colors and the feel of the trading post.  I might have to paint another one---same location, different perspective.  Thanks for looking at my blog.  Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.  I hope you are staying safe.  Kay

Oil on Linen

12" x 16"

This painting was inspired by a photo that my husband took about fifteen years ago when he went to New Mexico and Colorado on a fishing trip. The rugged landscape of Colorado is so beautiful that I had to paint it. Contact Kay or call me at 214-532-0325 for purchasing information.  Thanks for viewing....Kay

This is painting #7 of the 

30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge with Leslie Saeta

After spending this week in Santa Fe, I had to paint

the colorful landscape.  We flew back to the Texas

heat and humidity last night, so I got up this morning

and went to the studio to paint.  Had to paint that 

beautiful landscape of New Mexico.

This painting is loaded with color and texture,

and I am covered in paint as I blog!

Thanks for looking at my art...you can

email me for more information.

24" x 24" Mixed Media

NFS

This is one of my very first stabs at mixed media.  It started in a workshop, and then I completed it in the studio.  I had used images of some of our favorite places in New Mexico, and because of the subject matter and colors my husband John really liked this piece and it hangs in our home office.

Here is a close-up, as you can see there is a lot going on.  Fabric, torn paper, crayons, confetti paper, old map, paint and images of New Mexico cover the canvas.  I was visiting with another artist the other day, encouraging her to try mixed media..... so this post is for Susan.  Susan is a photographer with a wonderful portfolio.  The possibilities are limitless for some new work, maybe mixed media, using altered photographs.  I found some wonderful papers and images the other day, and it was kind of putting me in the mood to tackle another mixed media piece.  I always have my oils out, so pulling out the acrylics and mixed media supplies always shakes things up.  Thanks for looking at this blog and the art posted here.  Have a great day.....Kay

Fenced In

Fenced In

24" x 24" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

I must admit that I don't see too many of buffalo in Dallas. My inspiration for this painting was a photograph taken by studio painting partner Mark Malone. Last summer Mark and John Martin were driving near Cimarron, north of Angel Fire, New Mexico. Mark said that there were three buffalo close to the fence----I liked this fellow who was standing behind the fence. Mark had painted this buffalo, grazing in the field, and graciously gave me the opportunity to paint this creature. My first day of painting was fun...I splashed on some color, positioned the head off-center on the canvas. Day two was even more fun because I really got the color going. But by day three and four, I was struggling with the snout on this guy. I guess I have painted too many cows, and he looked more like a cow than a buffalo. After a critique by Karen, Suzy and Carol at the studio, I believe that I have captured the features on his head. This contemporary painting is full of color, wide brush strokes. Fenced In is for sale. Please contact me if you are interested in this painting, and thanks for visiting this blog.

On the High Road

On the High Road

Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

On our last trip to Santa Fe, John and I took a day trip: The High Road to Taos Scenic Byway. It is a lovely, winding road through the Sangre de Cristo Mountains between Santa Fe and Taos. The landscape was fabulous.....magnificent vistas of snow-capped peaks, alpine meadows, and charming traditional Spanish and Pueblo villages. This drive through the mountains has inspired many artists and artisans who live along the High Road. As we were driving through the village of Truchas, John pulled off the road and I photographed some horses fenced in a yard with the mountains in the background. There were three horses standing there, ready for a photo session. I put the finishing touches on this painting yesterday, and signed it.

Santa Fe, Madrid & Chimayo New Mexico

Little chapel located way out in the country...on an old western movie set.

Chimayo....the little chapel with so much history.
Driving to Madrid, this old rusty truck has seen better days. It should be great subject matter for a painting!
The Plaza in Santa Fe...people were selling jewelry and art on the sidewalk.

We are back! I did not want to post all 314 photos that I took over the weekend...but here are a few. John and I were able to do everything on our to-do list, and more. Canyon Road was fabulous, the Friday Night Gallery Walk was fun. The Georgia O'Keeffe Museum was very interesting, as was the Capital Art Collection, and all of the galleries we hit. John even found the Eaves Western Movie Set located somewhere on a country road between Albuquerque and Santa Fe. El Santuario de Chimayo is such a special place...holy dirt and all. Now that we are back in Dallas, I can't wait to get in the studio. New Mexico is so neat and inspirational!
