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

So Glad

So Glad

24" x 24" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

Contemporary Floral

This palette knife painting is officially finished!  It has gone through some some changes, as I had originally started this painting with a brush.  As I got frustrated with it, I decided I wanted lots of thick juicy oils.  I squeezed out piles of paint and a palette knife and tackled the canvas.  After a critique in the studio, and a few minor adjustments, this floral is signed and drying!  The reference photo that I used for this painting was taken years ago...and the beautiful colors of the gladioli caught my eye.  I am glad that I had the opportunity to paint them---although it was challenging at times.  Thanks for looking at my art...contact Kay

Wimberley Walk

 

Wimberley Walk

12" x 12" Oil on RayMar Cotton Panel

Contemporary Landscape  

On a recent Texas Hill Country trip, I found myself taking a early morning walk.  The sun was coming up, and the shadows were laying across this road, with view that was breathtaking.  I could see forever.  I was standing at the top of the hill, looking down the winding road.  I new it would make a great setting for a painting.  I focused on the light hitting the cactus and the long shadows falling across the road and hitting the rugged trees and shrubs.  This painting is drying in the studio.  Thanks for looking at my blog...contact Kay with any comments or questions.  KMW

Wildflowers Galore

Wildflowers Galore

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

 

Oh Happy Day!

Oh Happy Day!

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

Contemporary Still Life Painting

My favorite canvas shape is the square, but I really like the canvas I picked for this horizontal still life.  The vase of flowers is intentionally off-center.  The bouquet fills the canvas and is spilling over the edges, implying that the bouquet is full and over-flowing.  I used the palette knife on most of this painting.  The canvas has plenty of texture and color.  I focused on lavenders and greens and greys and mixed piles and piles of oils when I painted this.  Thanks for looking at this blog....Kay

Windy December

Windy December

8" x 10" Oil on RayMar Cotton Panel

En Plein Air Palette Knife Painting

This is probably one of my favorite plein air paintings.  I have so many paintings that I started outside, but was unable to finish.  I stuck it out on this one, even though it was a very cold and windy December day at White Rock Lake.  I like the feel of the painting...kind of moody, and because I used the palette knife, there was a lot of scraping and modeling of the oils.  This painting is available, and looks great in a dark mahogany wood frame with a gold inside liner.  Contact Kay for more information.  Thanks, KMW

Fresh Pick

40" x 40" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

Contemporary Still Life Painting

Variety is the spice of life!  With this painting I

made sure that there was variety in color, shapes, brush 

technique, textures, values, and of course the wide range

of blooms.  Probably my most favorite flowers in the still life

are the sunflowers...I like the droopy and irregular 

shapes that happen with the weight of the flower.  This 

painting is available for purchase.  Contact Kay for

more info.  Thanks for looking....KMW

Farewell...all framed up!

Farewell

Canvas size:  22" x 28"  

Framed size:  28" x 34" 

Contemporary Palette Knife Painting

I decided that this floral needed to be framed up.  So here is a pic of the painting with the frame.  It dresses it up.  Piles of oil paint were on my palette, and with one palette knife I covered the canvas with a baker's dozen of roses.  I mixed my colors so that every layer of paint would be in harmony with the next layer.  There are small specs of rose, red, and turquoise spicing up the painting, but for the most part greys, lavenders and greens, and naples yellow dominate.  Contact Kay Wyne for purchasing info.  Thanks, Kay

18" x 36" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

Contemporary Floral Still Life Painting

This painting is one of my favorites, because I was so happy when I painted it, and it just flowed onto the canvas.  I used a medium size palette knife to push and pull the paint.  The colors are harmonious because they were all mixed and mixed and mixed together.  Thanks for looking at this blog. Kay

Contemporary Floral

This palette knife painting is finally completed, dry and varnished.  It needs a frame, but is looking for a new home.  I struggled with this painting, and lost my enthusiasm for it at one point, putting it aside for months.  Once I got the palette knife out, it all worked out.  Layers of color and texture give this painting depth and interest.  Contact Kay for more info on this contemporary still life.  Thanks for looking at my blog.  KMW

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
