Out On A Limb

Out On A Limb

12" x 36" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

Contemporary Bird Painting by Kay Wyne

Day #6 of the 30 Paintings/30 Days with Leslie Saeta

Hot off my easel....below you can see the progression as I placed the birds and limbs with a rough painting.  I wanted to placement to allow the viewer's eye to roam around and go from bird to bird.  

Once I get the general placement of the subject matter on the canvas, I block in colors.  Using large brushes, I can cover lots of space quickly.

More color, not alot of details yet.  Layers and layers of oils go on....

More paint and more paint.  I wanted a colorful and painterly piece...more paint.

And More color...setting the eyes in the birds were some of the last touches.  More layers especially in the nest, but trying to stay loose with my strokes.

Thanks for looking at the art posted here....more painting tomorrow.  It is fun to go into the studio and paint whatever I am in the mood to paint!  These songbirds were colorful and something different for me.  There might be more bird paintings for the 30 Paintings/30 Days!  Kay

Contemporary Palette Knife Painting

Day #5 in the 30 Paintings/30 Days Challenge

I painted all day yesterday---so much that my feet and knees hurt this morning.  I hope to finish and post the painting I am currently working on for tomorrow.  This painting was inspired after seeing a photograph that fellow artist and friend, Mark Malone took.  He had blown the image up and it was so neat!  I used one size palette knife on this canvas....the paint is built-up, giving it texture.  I had to stop a few times to let the paint dry, then go back into the paint layers of color.  I did not want to create mud!  This contemporary palette knife painting was so much fun to paint.  Contact Kay for more information. Thanks for looking...Kay

Contemporary Equine Art

With a few details to go, a few strokes here

and there....it could be completed today.

I want to work on the eyes, and have a

critique on it at the studio.  It is always 

good to have some input from other

artists.  I wanted the horses to be bold,
energetic and colorful with lots of 
movement and personality.  My 
reference photos for this painting was
from three different sources/photos that
I took at different times and locations.  The
background and foreground has changed
from the initial composition.  More work
in the studio today, as I am starting a 
new series for 2014!
Contact Kay for information

on this painting.  Today is Day 4 of the

30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge.

Thanks for viewing....KMW

Contemporary Abstract Painting

This is a fun and colorful mix of roosters

and chickens.  Contact Kay for purchasing

information.  This is Day 3 of the 30/30

Painting Challenge.  I am working on 

new paintings in the studio, but they are

not ready to be posted, therefore I had to

pull a painting that I completed earlier.

Thanks for looking....Kay

Impulse

Impulse

18" x 18" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

Contemporary Abstract Painting

I started this painting on impulse....just to throw 

paint on the canvas after working on commissions

during the month of December.  My studio mates

have asked me what it is, and I honestly don't know.

One of my fellow artists said it looked like cactus, 

another said flowers, and the one that makes 

the most sense to me was the aerial view of

a golf course. I was working with Sharon's

piles of paint since they were going to go to

waste and dry up.  It felt good to just stand in

front of the easel and paint for the sake of 

painting. The colors and shapes were put on 

the canvas...hopefully to make an interesting

canvas that will bring a smile to your face!

This is painting #2 in the

30 Paintings in 30 Days with Leslie Saeta. 

I will be back in the studio today working

on painting #3!  Thanks, Kay

Contemporary Abstract Painting
Day 1 in the 30 Paintings/30 Days Challenge

This palette knife painting evolved with some wonderful

colors from Sharon's loaded palette.  She left town and I 

couldn't leave the piles of paint sitting in the studio just to

dry up.  So I got my palette knife out and started scraping 

her glass palette, putting the juicy oils on my canvas.

Since today is New Years, I titled it "Forward"....I am

looking forward to 2014.  This is also painting #1 in the 

30 Day challenge.....Happy New Year!  Kay
