Abstract Nursery Art Project by Kay Wyne

Contemporary Abstract Nursery Paintings

Acrylic on Sixteen Cotton Panels

Today is Day 10 in the 30/30 Paint Challenge

This is my latest nursery project for our new grandson.  I started with sixteen 6" x 6" RayMar Cotton Panels, painted the background white and slowly started painting shapes with the colors my daughter picked out.  She requested that the images be nonrepresentational with a certain color palette.  As I worked on the small surfaces, I kept adding and working the paint, until I felt like it was complete.  That happened three times.  I normally paint in oils, so working with the fast drying acrylics was a challenge.  I picked a simple white frame for each panel, and here is the result. I wanted a very clean but colorful presentation for the wall.     

I hope to be back in the studio today, as I have a show I an upcoming show in February.  I have several new pieces to post for the paint challenge, so check back in with me tomorrow.  Thanks, Kay Wyne

Horizon Series: Acrylic 1 & 2

Today's posting are two 12" x 12" masonite panels, and a part of my Horizon Series. Acrylic paints were used with the palette knife. I paint in oils all the time, so I felt like I was experimenting with the acrylic paints since it had been years....like thirty some years since I had painted with acrylics. The paint dried so fast, and I had forgotten that acrylics just don't have the mixing characteristics that oils do. I couldn't get back to my oils fast enough...I like the rich look of oils, although these abstract were dry immediately. These pieces would be handsome framed in a simple, contemporary frame. Please contact me if you are interested in purchasing any of my art.
