Color Conversation

36" x 36" Oil on Heavy Duty Gallery Wrap Canvas

Contemporary Floral

I loved painting this canvas in the new studio with lots of natural light shining down on the easel.  I used brushes and palette knives to apply the thick juicy oils.  On the vase, I carved out the paint to make the pattern play.  I focused on mixing harmonious colors as I worked my way through this painting.  Adding shapes and lines as I progressed, it was so fun to paint.  Contact Kay for more info on her art!  Thanks for looking....Kay

Colors of January

8" x 8" Oil on RayMar Panel

Plein Air/White Rock Lake, Dallas

January in Dallas can be very warm or brutally cold.  Yesterday John and I went to White Rock Lake...the sun was out, but it was windy and very chilly.  The weather conditions forced me to paint fast.  I wanted to nail the colors to get a feel for the day.  The brush and scrubby trees were right in front of my set-up (see photo below).  

Thanks for looking at my art.  Please contact ME with any questions or comments.  This painting will be available for purchase once it has dried.  Kay

What do you do when you get a new palette knife?  Paint a palette knife painting!!!  I was so excited to get some new painting supplies, and since I have dropped (ruined) some of my knives, I decided to treat myself to a new one.  As I was playing with the paint, pushing and pulling the juicie oils, I came up with this abstract.  Lots of texture.  Beautiful colors.  Thanks for looking at my blog.  This painting is hanging at The Dutch Art Gallery in Dallas.  Contact ME with any questions or comments!  Kay

8" x 16" Oil on Panel

Contemporary Palette Knife Painting

Floral landscapes make me happy, and this one is no exception.  Painted with a palette knife and large amounts of paint, I layered the clouds, then worked from the horizon line to the foreground.  I want the viewer to image standing in a field with the crisp magenta, crimson and peachy flowers at your feet.  This painting is drying in the studio, and will look great framed up once it is varnished.  Thanks for looking at my blog.  Kay

Timeless is one of my favorite paintings...I liked it so much that I had it printed on my business cards.  The colors were mixed and mixed, and are very harmonious.  There is plenty of texture on the canvas...you can see the palette knife work, almost like frosting on a cake.  Let me know if you have any comments or questions concerning my art...I would love for Timeless to have a new home!  Kay

Spirited

Spirited 

8" x 16" Oil on RayMar Cotton Panel

Contemporary Palette Knife Painting

"Spirited" was painted with fresh, crisp juicy oils and my palette knife.  I chose beautiful blues, peaches, greens and yellows, carefully applying them so that I did not create the color MUD.  The movement and texture are right there, giving the painting personality and uniqueness.  Once this painting dries, I would like to put a beautiful pewter frame on it...but it is drying in the studio right now.  Thanks for looking at my blog.  Kay
