I am back in the studio after traveling and a broken shoulder.  I am not 100%, but I am getting close.  My mission for the month of September is to finish up paintings that I have started, but not finished.  Thanks for looking at my blog!  Contact Kay for more info.  Kay

Blooming Bonnet

 

Blooming Bonnet 

24" x 20" Oil on Panel

Contemporary Floral

After letting this painting sit for a couple of months, I was ready to finish it off.  I put the vase on a table, added some fallen leaves and petals.  When I started this painting, I had a beautiful fresh arrangement of flowers from my florist.  Once they died, I used a photograph as reference, and added more petals to the composition.  The vase is interesting, and was sitting around the studio holding pencils and brushes.  This painting is drying in the studio.  I can't wait to get it all framed up!  Thanks, KMW

This exuberant painting is a montage of colorful and diverse botanicals, bursting forward to capture the attention and spark the imagination of the viewer.  I painted for months on this panel, adding and deleting different blooms along the way.  I want the viewer to explore the various colors and shapes that are packed into this canvas.  This painting would be a wonderful addition to a home or office setting.  This painting is available for purchase.  Contact Kay for more info.  Thanks, KMW

Unititled

 

Untitled Floral

48" x 36" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas 

Contemporary Floral

Layers of color, shapes, and lines were painted to create this dynamic oil painting.  I didn't have a game plan when I started this painting.  Simply drawing on the canvas and building this arrangement was very exciting.  I went to my local florist and had some fresh blooms, and with my imagination, filled up the canvas with more greenery and flowers.  This painting is drying.  It is available for purchase, and it need a good name!  Any help on that would be appreciated!  Thanks for looking at my art, Kay Wyne

Pretty Petals

Pretty Petals

6" x 6" Oil on Linen Panel 

Contemporary Floral

I was so excited to buy some new brushes, and this small floral was painted with one of them.  It was small Princeton Dakota/Flat brush.  I loaded the brush with lots of paint...and made every stroke count on this small panel.  It was fun playing and experimenting with a brush that I normally don't use.  These peonies are drying in the studio...contact Kay for more info on this small floral.  Thank you!  KMW

High Drama

 

High Drama

Contemporary Abstract

24" x 24" Oil and Charcoal on Gallery Wrap Canvas

High Drama is a good example of experimentation.  I challenged myself to paint with a different color combinations than normal.  As I painted, I pushed and pulled the flowers, moving the paint.    I wanted the flowers to go in and out of focus, and loose some edges.  If you look closely, you can see I used charcoal to draw into the paint.  Thanks for looking at my art.  This painting is available for purchase.   Kay

Contemporary Floral Still Life

This canvas has been sitting on my easel for several weeks.  I was really into it when I started, then hit a bump in the road.  I had a motivational issue after I had about 80% of the painting completed.  But, today I was able to focus on the details and complete!  This painting is drying in the studio, and will be looking for a forever home very soon.  Contact Kay for more info.  Thanks for looking at my blog!  KMW

I decided to paint the arrangement of hydrangeas and carnations again, on a larger format and different perspective than I did earlier in the week.  The vase was a challenge, with all of it's texture and shadows.  This panel will look great framed up!  Thanks for looking at my blog...Have an artful day!

Radiance

 

Radiance

20" x 24" Oil on RayMar Cotton Panel

Contemporary Floral Still Life

Special thanks to RD and LB for the beautiful birthday floral arrangement shipped to me from Ecuador !  When the box arrived, I didn't know what to do with the petals (floral arrangement is not my specialty!)  So I took them down to my local florist and he worked his special magic!  Thank you, Renarldo at Lake Highlands Flowers!  I enjoyed exploring the different shades of green in the painting.  I mixed all of my colors, and pushed some of them to be warmer or cooler than they actually were in the still life.  This painting is drying in the studio, and will be framed up once it is varnished.  Please feel free to contact ME about this painting!  Have an artful day, Kay

P.S.  Here's a photo of my set-up in the studio.

Remember Me

This painting is drying in the studio.

Thank you to my local florist, Renarldo at Lake Highlands Flowers for creating such a stunning arrangement.  I asked him to give me some variety, color, texture, and something sophisticated...and he delivered!  

As I started to paint on this big canvas, I realized that I could not paint fast enough...so I took some pictures to work off of once the petals had dried up.  It was a fun time in the studio, with a few challenges along the way.  I am pretty sure that this is finished...although I can make any adjustments as I spend some time with the canvas in the studio.  

Thanks for looking at my blog...Have an artful day!  Kay

There's something special about painting from life.  It's easier to capture the colors, the lines, the textures...and the personality of the flowers.  I went to my local florist, and asked for an exotic and complicated bouquet, and I got it!  This was so much fun to paint.  Thanks for looking at my blog!  Kay
