16" x 12" Oil on Canvas

Contemporary Equine Painting

The race is on!  I haven't painted a racehorse painting for a couple of years, and thought it was time to revisit the subject matter of the horse.  I wanted to express the strength and speed of horses at the finish line in this painting.  I didn't get fussy with the details, and put the jockeys in colorful silks.  This painting does need a frame, and it will be entered in a spring show.  Thanks for looking at this blog...contact Kay for more information on my art.  I will be back in the studio working on a commission this week.  KMW

Day # 11 in Leslie Saeta's 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge

True confessions:  I did not paint this painting this week for the Paint Challenge.....I came up short today for a new painting because the heat went out in the studio.  It was just too darn cold to get creative and sling paint.  So, I am pulling this colorful painting out and posting.  I wanted the canvas to be bold, colorful and full of energy.  This painting is hanging at the studio, and is for sale.  Contact Kay with any questions or comments.  Thanks for looking at this blog, and stay warm!  It's cold in Dallas!  Kay

Vying For Position

Vying For Position

11" x 14" Oil on Linen

Contemporary Equine Painting

This painting is completed after starting it months ago, and putting it aside when I got frustrated with the painting surface.  I used a fine linen, and it didn't have enough tooth or texture.  So I put it away and decided to pull it out earlier this month.  I have been working on cleaning up my work station at the studio, and pulled several painting out that are needing some attention.  Even though this is on a small canvas, I wanted to keep the brush strokes loose, colorful and energetic.  Today is day 25 in the 30 Painting in 30 Days Challenge.  Thanks for looking at this blog...if you have any questions or comments, contact Kay.  KMW

This painting was painted several years ago, and I was looking at it because I have two equine paintings on my easel right now.  I need to put the finishing touches on them.  Today is Day 20 of the 30 Paintings in 30 Days, and although it might appear that I have not been painting ---- I have.  I have forgotten to take my camera to the studio, and need to finish up everything that I am working on.  Thanks for looking at the art posted here....Contact me for more info on my art.  Thanks, Kay

Contemporary Equine Painting

30" x 30" Oil on Heavy Duty Gallery Wrap Canvas

My inspiration for this painting was a photograph of my nephew riding at a horse show several years ago.  I loved the shape of the horse's head and her coloring.  I just varnished this piece, so it will be ready to find a new home.  Contact Kay for more information at 214-532-0325 or kay@kwyne.com.  Thanks.  Kay

Finish Line - Sold

Finish Line

This contemporary 16" x 16" original oil painting is sold.  I had a request yesterday from a collector to see more equine subject matter, so I was revisiting some of my horsey paintings.  The intense colors and loose brush strokes give the painting energy and motion.  I will be painting plein air today and then in the studio to finish a landscape that is on my easel.  Thanks for viewing this blog....have an artful day.  Kay

Spirit of the Race

Spirit of the Race

30" x 30" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

Contemporary Spirited Horse Painting

This painting was inspired by a photograph that I took at the Lone Star Race Track in Grand Prairie, Texas. It was a very warm and sunny day, and all of the jockeys in colorful jerseys really caught my eye. There were seven horses out of the gate on this race, but I decided to focus on two horses for this painting. I had the starting gates painted in, but decided that the background needed to leave more to the imagination of the viewer's eye. I did not want to give away too much information. So, I focused on the horses and the energy on the track. I used wide brushes, oil pastels sticks and the palette knife.

Close-up. This painting is too wet to move off the easel. I will take a better photograph of it in natural light once it dries. Thanks for looking at my art.....Kay at 214-532-0325

I was revisiting this painting...This is one of my favorites because of the colors, the quick brushstrokes and the subject matter. Today was a hot one, especially with the air conditioning out in the house. Day 33 of consecutive temperatures over 100 degrees. We are all trying to escape the heat......stay cool. Thanks for viewing. Kay
