36" x 36" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

Contemporary Still Life Painting

As with most of my paintings, this one went through several phases.  I started with three layers of transparent color, painting chaos and just getting the canvas covered.  I like the indigo, so I started drawing a boat, but it quickly turned into stripes and then an abstract floral.  There is a companion canvas.....which was meant to be a diptych.  But the composition wasn't working out for a 36" x 72" format.  If you look closely you can see the drips, the lines, the layers of color.  This painting is drying in the studio---I might need to add a few touches of darks on the petals.  The sides of the gallery wrap canvas are painted a dark Vulcan Grey.  Framing is not necessary.  Contact Kay Wyne for more information.  

Vae of Flowers

This oil painting is on a 12" x 16" canvas. I have used a very warm color palette...very orange/red/golden in the flowers. I used a brush (no knife) on this painting. The paint was applied pretty thick, looks like buttery frosting on the canvas. This is an unusual size canvas for me to paint on...I like the way the flowers go off the canvas, and that the vase is off-center.

I will be going to the studio today working on various paintings that I have started. I have about a dozen paintings that I started, painted on, and have gotten bored or irritated at my paint brush. I need to finish up all these paintings. I don't like looking at them. Hopefully I will be in the mood to complete something today.

Flowers in Vase

This floral painting was inspired by some flowers in a shop in Fayetteville, Arkansas. I loved the arrangement, colors and vase. The 24" x 24" canvas looks great framed up. This painting has been in a new home for several months, and I do miss it because I had it above our fireplace for a few months. I know the young couple who own it, and I am sure that they will hang this floral in a special place.

Flowers

This is one of the first paintings that I did on masonite. The oils went on so smoothly. I have been looking at all of the florals that I have painted for an upcoming show. I hope that you enjoy this painting...your comments are always welcome!
