Georgie made the cover of book!

Georgie Boy has made it in print all the way from University of South Carolina.
The original painting was one that I painted in the Dutch Art Gallery as a demonstration for a visiting group of women.  I love painting roosters and chickens, and Georgie is no exception!  Thanks for looking at my blog...Kay

Cover for handbook at University of South Carolina

I was honored that my original oil painting, "Coop The Chicken" was featured on the cover of the new student handbook at the University of South Carolina.  Coop was one of the chickens I painted from the Dallas Chicken Coop Tour several years ago.  Below is the painting, before he got cropped and printed for the Gamecock handbook.

Framed in a wide gold frame, ready for a new home.  This rooster was spotted on a Chicken Coop Tour in Dallas.  He is bold and beautiful, full of personality.  He would make a great conversation piece in a kitchen or game room.  Painted with a wide brush and palette knife, this painting would make a great Christmas gift!  Contact Kay for more information.  Thanks, KMW

Framed in a wide gold moulding..ready to hang.

This Red Rooster lives at Heritage Village in Downtown Dallas. Painting partner Sharon Hodges took a great photo of this rooster in a striking pose. This plump rooster has bold brush strokes, and fills the canvas with his black and white feathers. His golden beak, red comb and black and white feathers make this contemporary city rooster interesting. The background was applied with a palette knife, using naples yellow, white and yellow ochre. Please contact ME if you would like to give Red Rooster a new home.  Thanks for looking at this blog.  Kay

Day # 16 in Leslie's 30/30 Paint Challenge

Red Rooster is on a small panel painted with earthy browns, reds and ochres.  This handsome guy is looking for a new home, and would look great in someone's kitchen.  It is good to be able to paint on a small panel, start to finish in one sitting.  But I am missing my large paintings, so tomorrow will probably be a cow day at the studio.  Or landscape.  Thanks for looking at this blog, and to all the artists out there participating in the paint challenge, we are over the hump!!! Contact Kay if you would like to purchase Red Rooster.  Thanks, Kay

Day #10 in the 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge

This little rooster --- even though he is called Big Red, has bold brushstrokes, and is a very simple painting.  You can see the strokes on the cotton panel.  It was way too cold for me to go outside and photograph-I usually take all of my pics in natural light outside the studio.  So there is a little shine on the panel.  I have a shorthorn started and he is sitting on my easel...I can't wait to get to the studio today to work on him.  Thanks for looking at this blog.  Contact Kay with any comments or questions.  KMW

The Little Hen

The Little One

8" x 8" Oil on RayMar Cotton Panel

This is painting #12 for the 30-30 Challenge...be sure to go to Slices of Life by Leslie Saeta to see all of the art.  I had a great day yesterday....I shipped one painting off, sold one at Dutch Art Gallery, gave one painting away to a young family friend, and painted in the studio.  I love it when my paintings are on the move!  This is one little chickie that I painted with a limited palette.....only three colors as seen in the photo below.

I discovered some wonderful greys....and a wide range of reds with this little painting.  I used the palette knife and added some impasto for body.  Thanks for looking at this blog and the art posted here.  I have to work on #13 today...we are almost to the half-way point in the challenge and I am looking forward to getting over that hump!  Happy Painting....KMW

#7 of the 30-30 Challenge

Here we go with another rooster....I really hadn't planned on painting roosters for this challenge, but I can't help it!  This guy is very intense and has a one-track mind.  He doesn't care what is going on around him with a "look"that only a confident and goal-oriented rooster would have.  I put the fun turquoise background in, and thought that the black confetti would distract him, but it didn't.  This rooster was originally from the State Fair of Texas and my inspiration was a photograph that I had taken several years ago in one of the Ag barns.   Thanks for viewing this blog....be sure to go to Slices of Life by Leslie Saeta to view all the wonderful art posted for the 30 Day Challenge.  Feel free to contact me on this painting at kay@kwyne.com.....thanks, KMW

This painting is completed, and drying on my easel.

I will get a better photograph of it once I return.....I am traveling, and unable to be at the studio.  This rooster is on the move, colorful and has a fun personality.  Contact Kay if you have questions about this painting or any other painting you see on my blog or website.  Thanks for viewing....kay@kwyne.com

On my easel....

I have two large roosters on my easel...and they are very wet with lots of oils!

Right now his is a one-eyed rooster....somehow his left eye disappeared.

This rooster is almost finished. He is on a heavy duty gallery wrap canvas. I wanted him to be colorful...so I got carried away with his feathers. And his beak. I hope to put some final feathers on this guy today and let it dry.

Thanks for viewing this blog and my art...have an artful day!

Good-bye Red Rooster

Red Rooster - SOLD
I said good-bye to this Red Rooster today....he is all framed up (thanks to Dutch Art Gallery) and has a new home. I appreciated the customer who walked into the gallery and purchased this contemporary oil painting! I am sure that the Red Rooster will love his new home. I will be off of the computer, blog and easel for a week as John and I are heading to New Orleans. We will wander the streets of New Orleans and listen to all the bands at the French Quarter Festival, and of course eat all the wonderful foods of The Big Easy. I hope to come back to Dallas inspired and ready to paint some new paintings! Thanks for viewing my blog. Kay

This contemporary oil painting sold over the weekend at the Dutch Art Gallery in Dallas. I know that he will enjoy his new home, and I thank the individual who purchased Red Rooster. He is quite a character, and I hope that he will bring alot of joy and conversation to the new owner. I had a great day painting yesterday, in the middle of three paintings.

Red Rooster

Oil on 24" x 24" Gallery Wrap Canvas

Wide brushstrokes, splashes of color, and thick paint are characteristics of this painting. This red rooster might be giving you the evil eye, he might be very angry, or he could be your everyday run of the mill rooster. I haven't named him yet, so until I figure that out, the title of this piece is Red Rooster. I signed him and I think he is finished. There are layers and layers of color and texture on the canvas. It will take along time for him to dry.


I started a new series yesterday, and can't wait to get back into the studio to work on my first piece. I am photographing it as it goes through changes....from start to finish. More on that painting later....Have a great day!

On my easel......

Red Rooster after two days of painting...This canvas is extremely wet. After thick application of paint with a wide brush, I started layering the paint with a knife. The paint needs to set up before I finish the eyes and hit him with some hi-lites. I don't know if I am going to the studio today or not. If I do go, I need to let this one rest and work on something else. Have a warm and artful day.
