Windy December by Kay Wyne

Windy December

8" x 10" Oil on RayMar Cotton Panel

Plein Air Landscape Painting in a handsome dark frame

$290

A windy day at White Rock Lake in Dallas proved to be challenging.  One of the most important things to do when painting in plein air is to be organized so that you can set up quickly, focus on painting, and come away with a completed study.  I usually don't have enough time to finish a painting, but once I pulled out my palette knife it all came together.  I captured the colors of the day...actually, I might use this painting to work on a larger canvas.  This painting is for sale.  Contact Kay for purchasing info.  Thanks for looking at this blog.  Kay

Day #12 in 30/30 Paint Challenge

I enjoyed pushing the paint around on this canvas.  I used a palette knife all the way.  I wanted color and texture changes in the foreground, and movement in the sky.  This painting is framed in a dark plein air frame with gold lip.  Thanks for looking at this painting...Kay

Day #10 in the 30/30 Paint Challenge

This is a re-do from a painting that I was not happy with, and although I normally don't go back into a re-do, re-work, re-paint, re-finished painting, but I did this twice.  I am happier with this impressionistic landscape, and I am not going to change it....again.!!!!  I like the hint of the lavender in the foreground, and the swirling, moving clouds.  I used a wide brush and a medium sized palette knife to apply the paint.  Thanks for looking at this blog, and this painting...Kay

Day 4 of the 30/30 Challenge

I started to post another painting, but decided that I needed to make some changes on it in the studio today.  So I am posting a plein air painting that I painted at Turtle Creek in Dallas.  The sky was changing quickly and the light and shadows were moving.  I used my trusty palette knife on this panel. My goal was to nail the colors of the day and get the lily pads in the painting.  At first I was concerned that there was too much green in the landscape, and also so many variations of green.  I finished this painting in about an hour and half.

This painting is ready to be framed, and ready for a new home.  Contact Kay for more information on this painting or any others posted here.  Be sure to check out the 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge with Leslie Saeta.  Lots of art posted on one blog from 1,000 artists!  Thanks, Kay

24" x 36" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

Contemporary Wildflower Landscape Painting

Still sitting on my easel, this one needs time to dry.  I loved the size of the canvas...and I am glad that I painted it vertically.  The sides of the canvas are painted, so framing is optional.  If you like a clean, contemporary look I think it looks great without a frame.  

I pulled out some new colors for the sky....mixing, mixing, and more mixing so that I had plenty of piles of turqoise, transparent orange, purpley/blues, greys and greens.  My under painting was a transparent red and orange, and then I layered mixtures of unltramarine blue, diox purple, cobalt, white and grey for the wildflowers.  This painting took all week to paint because I did not want to create mud with the paint, so layers needed to set-up so I could go back into the colors without creating a big mess.

Inspiration for this painting were photos of the hill country taken on a trip last spring...fields of color went on and on....and I wanted these flowers to fade into the horizon, and the sky to have a red hot flaming feel to it.  Thanks for looking at this blog....contact Kay with any questions or comments.  Have an artful day!  Kay

Untitled Floral Landscape

Untitled - needs a name!

18" x 18" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

Contemporary Wildflower Painting

This painting is one of the wildflower landscape series that I am working on.  I think I am finished...I will let it sit in the studio for the next couple of days and over time decide if I need to put some more paint on it.  I mixed my colors on my palette before I started painting...I knew I needed five or six mixtures of purpley-blues.  If you have a good suggestion for a name for this painting, please let me know.  Let Kay know your suggestion.  Thanks for looking at this blog...Kay

This painting might not be completed....it is drying

at the studio right now.  I may put a fence in, 

but I need to think about it for a few days.

Mike and Missy Rogers took a fabulous photo

last year of this Lutheran church, and there was

an old country fence....so that might go in

after it dries.  This is day 16 of the 

30 Paintings in 30 Days Leslie Saeta Paint Challenge.

LJB Ranch

LBJ Ranch

8" x 16" Oil on Panel

This small painting was inspired by a Hill Country trip

last spring.  On a driving tour of the LBJ Ranch I 

took some great pictures of the cattle.  

I wanted to get the colors right on this painting,

and not get fussy on the details. 

The Texas landscape is beautiful on the ranch

and the cattle are amazing. 

This is painting #2 in the 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge!

Thanks for looking at this blog....

Have a good and safe holiday.

Contemporary Landscape Painting

36"x 36" Oil on Heavy Duty Gallery Wrap Canvas

I was back in the studio yesterday, with 6 paintings on the easels.  I was bouncing around from painting to painting, needing to focus on getting at least one of them completed.  All are at different stages and all need some serious attention.  We had a critique session at the studio, which helped get me on track and now I have a game plan for today.  It is always good to take pics and talk about a painting when you are stuck or having a problem with a painting.  This painting, Wide Open Sky is available for purchase.  Contact Kay for more information.  Thanks, KMW at kay@kwyne.com
