Wings Palette Knife Paintings - Sold

Wings #1, #2, #4 and #26 are posted above.  Each 8" x 8" RayMar Cotton Panel has abstract images of dragonflies.  The surface of the canvas is textured, as a palette knife was used to apply the thick layers of paint.

These contemporary paintings are traveling to Buffalo, New York to a new home!   It will be interesting to see how they are framed up and displayed in a grouping.  I am putting the finishing touches on a large painting in the studio today.  I will post that painting tomorrow.  Thanks for looking at my blog...contact ME with any questions or comments about my art.  KMW

32" x 32" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

This is my first dragonfly painting...and probably my favorite one of all the dragonflies that I have painted.  I like the colors and the use of the palette knife through out the painting.  The dragonfly is obviously on the move, fluttering around.  I need to revisit the subject matter of the dragonfly!  Thanks for looking at my blog...Kay

Contemporary Palette Knife Painting

Layers of oils make this original oil painting fun, interesting and whimsical.  I started with an abstract underpainting, then worked with a palette knife on the dragonfly. I imagined painting the colorful stained glass in our church sanctuary when I was working on the shapes and lines in the wings.  This painting is available for purchase.  Contact Kay Wyne for more information on this contemporary dragonfly!  Thanks, KMW

On my easel....

40" x 40" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

I took some willow charcoal and put in a rough sketch of where I wanted the dragonfly.  I thought I would let some of the polka dots show through, but they eventually got covered up.

I am using my palette knife on this canvas---applying thick amounts of oils loaded with impasto.  More work in the studio today.  Thanks for looking at my blog...Kay Wyne

Red Dragonfly - Sold

Red Dragonfly
32" x 32" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

This painting is sold, but I needed to see it yesterday, as I was working on an abstract canvas, 40" x 40" and it wasn't going in the right direction for me.  So I immediately searched for the photograph below (thank you, Mark Malone).  I could see that the abstract needed a dragonfly and so I grabbed some charcoal and started drawing... 

Here is the canvas that was moving in the wrong direction...will post pics tomorrow on my progress.  Heading to the studio to paint, as I am in-between commissions. Thanks for looking at my blog...Kay Wyne

I was looking through my portfolio today and ran across an image of a painting I really enjoyed painting.  It is sold, but there are several qualities that I like in this painting.  The color palette is vivid and bold.  The colors are not muddy.  The abstract quality is there, but you can still identify the subject.  I like how the dragonfly looks---fluttering or moving across the canvas.  I am working on a new palette knife painting in the studio, and would love to repeat some of these qualities, which is a challenge considering the subject matter.  (Not a beautifiul dragonfly.)  Thanks for looking at this blog...more painting in the studio today.  Kay

Thanks to friend Mark Malone, I was able to paint from a beautiful photograph that he had taken of a red dragonfly.  I thought it was a neat shot with vivid colors.  This abstract painting has lots of texture...I used heavy impasto to build up the oils.  The sides of the canvas are painted, so it is ready to hang.  Contact Kay Wyne for purchasing info.  It is hanging at the studio and would love to have a new home!  Thanks for looking...Kay

I am anxious to get back into the studio today...this palette knife painting is colorful, whimsical and has lots of texture since I used impasto in the oils.  The dragonfly colors are bold and vivid, and somewhat abstract.  This painting would love to have a new home.  Contact Kay for more info.  Thanks for looking at this blog....Kay

Contemporary Abstract Palette Knife Painting

Red dragonflies are all over the gardens at the Dallas Arboretum.  I worked off of a photograph taken by friend Mark Malone.  It was an amazing photo, and I went abstract with it.  I exaggerated the colors, and implied that the dragonfly was fluttering over some flowers.  The oils were applied with a palette knife so there is plenty of texture on the canvas.  Sides of the canvas are painted, so framing is optional.  Contact Kay for purchasing info.  Thanks, Kay
