Hideaway by Kay Wyne

Hideaway

36" x 36" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

Contemporary Palette Knife Painting

Here's a few photos of the progress on this canvas.  This was a fun painting for me, as I had not painted a bird's nest in years.  I am letting it sit at the studio and giving my eye a chance to figure out if it needs anything else.  I started with my transparent and a large squeegee, spreading the paint and getting the darks in.  I used a palette knife and a wide bright brush when it came to the feathers, leaves and twigs and everything that makes up the nest.

Thanks for looking at my art.  Feel free to contact me about this painting or any of my other art.  This painting is available for purchase.  Contact Kay Wyne for more info.  Thanks, Kay

I like brown eggs, and we have a friend who has a great chicken coop and colorful chicks, producing beautiful brown eggs.  Everytime I see this nest painting, I think of all of the chickens being raised in the city of Dallas.....lots.  We have a neighbor who has started raising them.  You won't see me raising chickens....I just like to paint them!  Contact Kay at kay@kwyne.com if you are interested in this painting.  Thanks for viewing....Kay

Cardinal Nest

Cardinal Nest

Oil on 11" x 14" Canvas

Another Nest Series Painting....Very wet, should be ready to frame soon. I finished the Cardinal Nest yesterday. The little tiny eggs are down deep in the nest that was in a bush in our backyard. We are watching the mama and papa Cardinal, and we think that they might be making another nest in another bush. These eggs are not whole...they were broken open and empty when we found them...I had to turn them over and position them so the broken side did not show. Thanks for viewing my blog...have an artful day!

On my easel....at Studio Art and Soul

Today, at the studio I was working on a still life. It took me a long time to set it up...I had not been in the studio since Tuesday, and I needed to get all the props out for the still life. (table, lights, box, fabric, the nest and eggs) Here is a pic of the canvas, on my easel. I got a good start, covering the canvas with plenty of paint.

Here is the set-up...a bird nest....next to my easel. I had a good time painting this afternoon. Karen and Carol were also at Studio Art and Soul.

Here is the nest. Actually, John Wyne watched two cardinals build this nest last week in our backyard. They were busy, and after a couple of days John noticed an egg. Then the next day, two eggs. After four days there were five small creamy turqoise eggs with brown speckles. Then to our surpise, all of the sudden there were empty eggs. We recovered the egg shells...evidently a squirrel, snake or cat got the eggs in the nest. We were shocked, and looked for the mama and papa, but never saw them. So, after about 5 days, I took the nest out of the bush. I love painting nests....so, here we go on a still life. I hope to return to the studio this weekend and finish this painting, putting some details on the eggs, darken the shadows, and add more twigs on the nest.

Thanks so much for visiting my blog...I hope that you have a fun and safe weekend!
