From The Porch

From The Porch
6" x 8" Oil on Canvas
Plein Air Painting

Here's a quick plein air study that I did last summer on the porch of the cottage Up North.  I am tired of all the rainy weather, and this painting makes me eager for summertime porch living. I will be painting in the studio today with another crummy day of social distancing.  Have an artful day...Kay

Sun, Sand, and the Rock

Sun, Sand, and the Rock

20" x 24" Oil on Cotton Panel

Contemporary Seascape

This painting has a beautiful pewter/champaign frame on it, and is ready for a new home.  This rock is Up North and recognizable to many who frequent the beach on Lake Charlevoix each summer.  The rock has texture since it was painted with heavy oils and a palette knife.  In contrast, the sand on the beach is smooth and colorful.  Contact Kay for more info.  Thanks for looking at my blog!  Kay

Lake View

18" x 24" Oil on Canvas

I painted this landscape about 25 years ago...it is framed and hanging in our home.  I like this painting for a few reasons---I know it isn't a great painting, but it holds memories of summers in Michigan for me, and I have put in hundred of hours of easel time since I painted "Lake View".  For me, it is also a visual record of my painting style, and how after all these years it has changed.  I think I will paint this same scene in the studio and then en plein air this summer.  Thanks for looking at my blog...Kay Wyne

Framed

I was going through my stash of paintings, and found this seascape that was painted about fifteen years ago.  It's clear that my painting style has changed over the years...and that my interest in seascapes has lessened. I always get inspired when we vacation Up North and have the opportunity to really study the water, boats and reflections.  This painting is a keeper-not because it a great painting (and it isn't great), but it reminds me after painting hundreds of canvases, as an artist there is always room for improvement and growth in my paintings.  I can see where I have been on my painting journey.  Thanks for looking at my blog...Kay Wyne
