Wilted

 

Wilted

8" x 16" Oil on RayMar Cotton Panel

Contemporary Still Life

I think that sunflowers are interesting and beautiful, even after they have reached their peek and blooming.  I bought these at Trader Joe's, and I was able to paint from them for a couple of weeks!  I enjoyed painting them at all stages, and especially this wilted stage.  Contact Kay for more info.  Thanks for looking at my blog.  KMW

Second Thoughts

20" x 16" Oil on Panel

Contemporary Still Life

Thank you to Dutch Art Gallery's owner, Pam Massar for finding a forever home for this still life.  One of my favorite things to paint is this lovely tablecloth.  It was given to me by a friend, and it is vibrant and colorful.  The blooms were from a studio mate's garden...it was a fun painting to paint.  I love to see my paintings find new homes.  Thanks again to Pam!  Kay

Petal Pusher

 

Petal Pusher

24" x 12" Oil and Copper Leaf on Cradleboard

Contemporary Floral

After many sessions in the studio, this painting is finished!  I started out prepping the cradleboard with a base coat of black acrylic.  The second step is to apply the copper leaf, with sizing.  A sealer was put on top of the copper leafing to protect it, and then I was able to finally start paint my flowers!  The surface of the cradleboard is hard and smooth (no tooth) and I had to build up the layers of paint, sometimes giving the piece a couple of days to set-up and dry.  Once I finished painting, I applied a final coat of varnish to protect the surface and give it a finished look.  

If you look closely, you can see tiny pieces of the black peaking through the copper leaf.  The brushstrokes can be seen if you look closely.  I started this painting with a reference photo taken by a friend, and made my own additions and deletions as I made my way through the painting.  This painting is in the studio drying.  Framing is optional...It is ready to hang on a wall.  I would love for it to have a forever home!  Thanks for looking, Kay
