Iris Garden

Iris Garden

16" x 20" Oil on RayMar Panel

Contemporary Floral

Iris Garden is framed up and ready for a new home.  With this panel I was pushing the colors in what I considered a lavender and green photograph, adding different shades of greens, blues and purples, with pops of orange and turqoise.  I am back in the studio after a nice vacation in the desert.  Painting some beautiful blooms!    Thanks for looking at my blog.  Kay

16" x 8" Oil on RayMar Cotton Panel

Contemporary Floral

As I was thumbing through my reference photos, I found a great shot of a bearded iris.  It is such a beautiful and complicated flower, with ruffled and lacey petals that are layered.  It was fun to paint, even though the iris is so much more beautiful in person.  This painting is custom framed, and at Dutch Art Gallery in Dallas, and this painting is available for purchase.  Thanks for looking at my blog, Kay

Thanks to LB, one of my collectors and blog readers for the suggestion on the name for this 12" x 12" oil painting.  Putting a title to each painting is part of the process, and it doesn't always come easy.  Thanks for the help, LB!

Wildflowers

40" x 30" Oil and Charcoal on Gallery Wrap Canvas

Contemporary Floral Landscape

As I paint through the Cover-19 pandemic, I find myself wanting to paint happy, colorful and energetic paintings.  "Wildflowers" is just that.  I have been painting irises, but I thought I would add some wildflowers in the mix.  This painting is on a gallery wrap canvas, so framing is optional.  Thanks for looking at my blog.  Contact ME for more information on this painting or any others posted here.  Have an artful day.  Kay

As I was thumbing through my reference photos, I found a great shot of a bearded iris.  It is such a beautiful and complicated flower, with ruffled and lacey petals that are layered.  It was fun to paint, even though the iris is so much more beautiful in person.  This painting is drying in the studio.  I hope to get it framed up once it is dry and varnished.  This painting is available for purchase.  Thanks for looking at my blog, Kay
