Red Dragonfly - Sold

Red Dragonfly
32" x 32" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

This painting is sold, but I needed to see it yesterday, as I was working on an abstract canvas, 40" x 40" and it wasn't going in the right direction for me.  So I immediately searched for the photograph below (thank you, Mark Malone).  I could see that the abstract needed a dragonfly and so I grabbed some charcoal and started drawing... 

Here is the canvas that was moving in the wrong direction...will post pics tomorrow on my progress.  Heading to the studio to paint, as I am in-between commissions. Thanks for looking at my blog...Kay Wyne

Thick strokes of oil are built up on the canvas creating texture.  The palette knife was much tool of choice on this painting.  I had to be careful not to mix up the colors once I put paint on the canvas...I could of easily created mud.  I was able to let the bold colors bounce off of each other.  This contemporary dragonfly is for sale.  Contact Kay for more information.  Thanks for looking at my blog.  Kay

Abstract Dragonfly Painting

30" x 30" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

Contemporary Palette Knife Painting

I really got into this palette knife painting yesterday at the studio.  The basic shapes did not change, but the colors were all mixed, and layers of thick oils give this canvas texture.  I have so much paint on the canvas, it will take a long time to dry.  Here are a few pics of my progression with this painting:

 Drawing out the big shapes on the canvas...I usually do this with a filbert brush and paint.

 Covering the canvas with paint...filling in with bold colors.  Making sure that I like the shapes and placement of them.

Using several different sizes of palette knifes, working with the paint, moving it around on the canvas.  This stage of the painting is so much fun!  If I make a stroke I don't like, I just scrape it off....Thanks for looking at what I am doing in the studio...If you have any questions or comments, please contact ME.  Thanks for looking....Kay

Day #5 in the 30 Paintings/30 Days Challenge

I painted all day yesterday---so much that my feet and knees hurt this morning.  I hope to finish and post the painting I am currently working on for tomorrow.  This painting was inspired after seeing a photograph that fellow artist and friend, Mark Malone took.  He had blown the image up and it was so neat!  I used one size palette knife on this canvas....the paint is built-up, giving it texture.  I had to stop a few times to let the paint dry, then go back into the paint layers of color.  I did not want to create mud!  This contemporary palette knife painting was so much fun to paint.  Contact Kay for more information. Thanks for looking...Kay

Contemporary Palette Knife Painting

This is a piece that I started in the 
Laurie Pace Palette Knife Workshop 

at the Dutch Art Gallery in Dallas, Texas.  
Laurie has a unique a approach to palette 

knife painting, and it was so much fun to 
watch her demo and then teach us.  This 
painting has layers and layers of

color.  I wanted this painting to be colorful, 
abstract and interesting.  

A special thanks to Mark Malone 
who gets credit for a photo of a 

beautiful red dragonfly that I used
as inspiration for this painting.  
I couldn't resist 
painting it after seeing it!
