Flower Power

Flower Power
12" x 16" Oil on RayMar Cotton Panel
Contemporary Floral
As I continue to stay at home and studio during this pandemic, I continue to paint on a daily basis.  It's a happy habit I have.  Yesterday I was in the studio by myself with these sunflowers.  I was using thick piles of oil, layers and layers of transparent, and found myself lost in the heavy golden petals flopping all over the canvas.  These bold sunflowers are drying in the studio.  Contact Kay for more info.  Thanks for looking at my art.  Kay

Sunny Day

Sunny Day
16" x 12" Oil on RayMar Cotton Panel
Contemporary Still Life
I started with a photograph that I took last year in Greece of a food market, and zoomed in on a crate of lemons.  It was a sunny day, and the golden yellows were brilliant as I looked at the lemon harvest.  I had a good time at the easel painting this one, and I was thinking about starting a new series...I would have a good time going to the Dallas Farmers Market (if I practiced social distancing, of course) and picking out some fresh fruits or veggies to paint.   This painting is finished, and drying in the studio.  Thanks for looking at my blog.  Kay

Blue Day

Blue Day
16" x 20" Oil on RayMar Cotton Panel
Contemporary Palette Knife Painting
This is a very dramatic landscape that has just about every color that was on my palette.  It's bold, and will look great once it is varnished and framed up.  I used two tools to paint this one...a Kemper wipe-out tool, and a #27 Palette Knife. It's got a lot of texture and paint on it.   Contact Kay for more info.  Thanks for looking at my blog.  Kay

I painted this palette knife painting for The Dutch Art Gallery.  They plan on framing it in a red floater frame...I can't wait to see how it looks!  Thick oils cover this panel, giving it a lot of texture. Thanks for looking at my blog...Kay

Crossroads

Crossroads
12" x 16" Oil on RayMar Cotton Panel
Contemporary Abstract
There's a lot of movement on this panel.  Lots of color too.  I see several crossroads in the landscape, with some twists and turns along the way.  I used bold colors, a palette knife and a wipe-out tool.  Loads of thick oils on this one.  It is drying in the studio.  Thanks for looking at my blog....Kay
