Storm Brewing

12" x 16" Oil on Panel

Contemporary Seascape Painting

It's cold, rainy, icey and miserable in Texas right now.

But when I am in the warm studio, I can pretend that I am on the beach, soaking up the sun and running my toes through the sand.

Here's my set-up in the cozy studio on a cold January day.

It's finished and drying in the studio.  I wanted to get that warm, beachy feeling on this canvas.  My hope is that the viewer will be able to feel the sand, wind and water that you only get at the beach.  Contact Kay for more information.  Thanks for viewing!  KMW

I started this painting in a workshop, finished it in the studio.  Lots of attention was paid to the light and shadows in this scene.  I used a limited palette of six colors and white.  "Get Ready" has a calmness to it, and the water has reflections that pull the eye into the painting.  This panel is drying in the studio, waiting to get framed up.  Thanks for looking at my blog.  I have more paintings in different stages going at the studio!  Contact Kay with any comments or questions.  KMW

Perched up on an rocky island is a little white chapel in the Aegean Sea.  Looking at this view every morning in Greece was fabulous.  The locals told us that Easter was the only time the chapel is used, as you have to take a small boat from Naxos to get there, then take the steps that lead up to the chapel.  The colors in the sea were amazing.  I used a palette knife, wide brushes and rubber tools used for ceramics to apply the oils.  Thanks for looking at my art...Kay

Making Memories

Making Memories

8" x 8" Oil on RayMar Cotton Panel

Contemporary Oil Painting

Our daughter, son in-law and family are at the beach, and I was looking through some photos they sent.  This one grabbed me, and I simplified the composition from the photo.  The waves were crashing into these two as they waded out into the water with nets, crabbing.  I was thinking that they would come home with lots of good memories...therefore, it was an easy one to title, "Making Memories".  Thanks for looking at my blog.  Kay

Sunrise on Naxos was beautiful...and I never got tired of this view in the mornings.  The water was so blue, and the rocky shorelines and islands in the distance just took your breathe away.  I am letting this one sit on the easel for a couple of days, and maybe add a couple of highlights,  but for the most part, it is finished.  Thanks for looking at my blog...Kay

Just Waiting

Just Waiting

36" x 36" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

Contemporary Seascape Painting

This funky old rusted out dinghy is pulled up to the rocky Maine shoreline.  I have painted this scene several times, and this painting is my favorite because of the palette knife work.  If you look closely, the rusty surface on the dinghy has texture, and the rocks in the shallow end of the water are thick and chunky. This painting is available for purchase.  Contact Kay for more info.  Thanks for looking at my blog!  KMW

Island Chapel

Island Chapel

Contemporary Palette Knife Painting

12" x 12" Oil on Museum Quality Panel

Photo reference credit:  Jim Devers

The chapels in the Cyclades were amazing...and this one was perched on top of rocks on an island directly across from the island of Naxos where our villa was located.  I was told that you boat over to the island, walk up the steps to the chapel from the shoreline.  Special services are held on Greek Easter on this island. Every morning I would wake up to this view---it was amazing.  Thanks to Jim for taking the early morning photo!  Getting the blues right in the sky and water is what I focused on, and then I used a palette knife to put the rugged mountains and rocks.  This painting is all framed up and ready for a new home!    Contact Kay for more info.  KMW

20" x 24" Oil on RayMar Cotton Panel

The rolling clouds are moving fast over this beach scene.  The wind is tossing the tall grass at the edge of the water.  The warm sand is so inviting, and The Rock is familiar to all who spend time on the beach at Sequanota.  This painting needs a frame, and is ready for a new home.  Contact Kay for more info on this painting, or any of the other paintings posted on my blog.  Thanks for looking!  KMW
