The race is on!  I haven't painted a racehorse painting for a couple of years, and thought it was time to revisit the subject matter of the horse.  I wanted to express the strength and speed of horses at the finish line in this painting.  I didn't get fussy with the details, and put the jockeys in colorful silks.  This painting does need a frame, and it will be entered in a spring show.  Thanks for looking at this blog...contact Kay for more information on my art.  I will be back in the studio working on a commission this week.  KMW

Day # 11 in Leslie Saeta's 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge

True confessions:  I did not paint this painting this week for the Paint Challenge.....I came up short today for a new painting because the heat went out in the studio.  It was just too darn cold to get creative and sling paint.  So, I am pulling this colorful painting out and posting.  I wanted the canvas to be bold, colorful and full of energy.  This painting is hanging at the studio, and is for sale.  Contact Kay with any questions or comments.  Thanks for looking at this blog, and stay warm!  It's cold in Dallas!  Kay

Horse Race - Untitled - Unfinished?

Horse Race - Untitled, probably not finished, but almost finsihed...does that make sense?

I have been working on this painting for two weeks. I thought I was finished, so I signed it and took a photograph today at the studio. Now that I am looking at it on the computer, I see several things that need attention. So I will go back tomorrow and make a few brush strokes on this very wet canvas. It is oil on 16" x 20" canvas. It will need a frame, probably a gold or dark wood moulding would look best. Will post more on this painting later. It is cold and chilly in Dallas today...got a fire going and watching football now that I am home. I hope that you are having a great holiday with family and friends. Contact me if you are interested in purchasing any of my paintings. Thanks, Kay 214-532-0325 or kay@kwyne.com

On my easel...

This is what I painted on today...it is a 16" x 20" canvas. I wanted paint something fun, fast and colorful. I got carried away with the green, so I tried to tone it down with Prussian Blue and a Violet Chrome. tone. Then I thought my background was too golden/yellow. So I used Yellow Ochre and went that route to make it more earthy. Carol, Suzy and Michael were at the studio for a while...I painted at the studio for several hours by myself...my alternative was Christmas shopping or cleaning house. So I stayed at the studio with my paints and didn't shop or clean! I guess you can tell where my priorities are. Maybe I will make more progress tomorrow on this painting...maybe I will get the palette knives out. Thanks for viewing this blog! Kay

On the easel...

On the easel.....three paintings in progress.

I got to the studio yesterday afternoon, and worked until dark on these three paintings...got a good start on the rooster. It is on a 30" x 30" canvas...so it is going to be pretty large. I need to let the paint dry before I go in with the palette knife and really apply thick layers of paint. The saddle on the horse has bored me because it is standing still...no action. I was using a reference photograph from the horse show I went to last month. (Maybe I need to talk to the horseman, Casey Settles about this.....) I am not sure what I am going to do to jazz it up. The race horse painting did have five horses in it, and I painted three of them out. I am not sure if I like the two horses...I might change my mind and put another one back in. It is good for me to see these paintings on the computer....and look at what changes need to be made. I welcome any suggestions!!!!

I am taking today off from the studio....family day at the Wyne house. We will head out to church, and I have made my chicken sour cream enchiladas for lunch. We are missing Blake today because he is working. But we do have Wes and Lindsay here with us....and Penny Lane (Blake's dog). I hope that you have a joyful Easter with your family and friends. Thanks for viewing this blog!

Finish Line

This contemporary oil painting is getting ready to go to the Art Show in Greenville, Texas for a show on Saturday. Rally Round Greenville will be held from 9:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. in historic Greenville. I hope that it isn't raining---we have had alot of rain lately. Thanks for visiting my blog!

"Finish Line" is at Texas Visual Arts Association Gallery in the Plaza of the Americas, located in downtown Dallas. I wanted to capture the movement and speed in a horse race. I am not a horsey person, but found painting horses to be a challenge. Belinda (a fellow studio artist) gave me alot of input on these horses, as she is a horsey person and knows them well! As usual, I put in alot of color to jazz up the painting.
