Contemporary Floral Painting

I have had this large painting on my large easel in the studio for several months.  It started out with a fresh floral arrangement from my local florist in a beautiful antique silver champagne bucket. I did not like the composition I had drawn out on a canvas, so I decided to look at the arrangement from a bird's eye view.  The original arrangement only lasted a week, so I worked off of a photograph once the blooms had died.

Once I put my big shapes in, I decided that the painting needed more variety, more color and just more.  So that part was fun, as I added layer after layer.  This painting is drying in the studio.  I need to sign it, varnish it and then it will be ready for a frame (optional).  Thanks for looking at my art....please contact Kay with any questions or comments.

This painting was so much fun to paint...and in one session, alla prima.  I wish all of my painting experiences were fun and successful!  Yesterday's time in the studio was a disaster, as I painted for four hours on a canvas, wiped it, and painted it again.  It was so bad that I wiped it again, and hope to start something totally different today.  Thanks for looking at my blog!  Kay

On My Easel....

On my easel in the studio---one of many canvases that are started, and in different stages.  This canvas is 48" x 60", heavy duty gallery wrap.  I can't wait to see what happens today!  Have an artful day.  Kay

Contemporary Floral Landscape

I started this colorful landscape a couple of months ago and didn't know what I was going to do with the background.  So I left it, and went on to some other paintings.  It would of been easier for me if I figured the background out before I started on the foreground.  But I don't always do things the easy and most logical method.  So, I am going to change the sky, horizon line and background.  So pretty much 2/3 of the canvas will be a different color palette.  This is my project for the week...I hope to post a completed painting soon.  Thanks for looking at this blog....Kay
