Far Away by Kay Wyne

Far Away

20" x 20" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

Contemporary Abstract - Palette Knife Painting

Today is Day #5 in the 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge

I had an underpainting on this canvas that wasn't working for me, so I changed it up and got my palette knife out and started pushing and pulling the paint.  Then I used a rubber wipe-out tool to draw some lines and move paint around.  Then signed it!  Far Away is for sale, and you can contact Kay Wyne for purchasing info.  Thanks for looking at my blog....I will be in the studio today working on Day #6 for the paint challenge!  KMW

Just Because by Kay Wyne

Just Because

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

Contemporary Floral Palette Knife Painting

My inspiration for this painting was a beautiful arrangement that son in-law Wes gave to daughter Lindsay. I asked what the occasion was......."just because" was the answer that I got. I used thick strokes with the palette knife.

This painting is currently hanging at Dutch Art Gallery in Dallas.  Sharon Hodges, Steve Hahn and I were interviewed for an article published last week in the local paper.  Click for the article about Dutch Art Gallery's 50 year anniversary.  I am working on a series of florals for an upcoming show...and getting ready for Christmas!  Thanks for looking at this blog, Kay

Red Dragonfly by Kay Wyne - Sold

Red Dragonfly

Sold

32" x 32" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

Contemporary Palette Knife Painting

I was looking through my portfolio today and ran across an image of a painting I really enjoyed painting.  It is sold, but there are several qualities that I like in this painting.  The color palette is vivid and bold.  The colors are not muddy.  The abstract quality is there, but you can still identify the subject.  I like how the dragonfly looks---fluttering or moving across the canvas.  I am working on a new palette knife painting in the studio, and would love to repeat some of these qualities, which is a challenge considering the subject matter.  (Not a beautifiul dragonfly.)  Thanks for looking at this blog...more painting in the studio today.  Kay

Colors of My World

8" x 12" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

Contemporary Palette Knife Painting

Sold

I was revisiting some of my floral landscapes, and although this painting is sold, it is one of my favorites.  The florals fade into the background, with the vibrant colors changing as they would in nature.  I did a lot of scraping, pushing and pulling of the oils with this canvas.  I am getting my gear ready for some plein air painting...more landscapes!  Thanks for looking at this blog.  Have a great day....Kay

Georgie Boy by Kay Wyne - Sold

Georgie Boy

Sold

12" x 12" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

Contemporary Rooster Painting 

George has flown away from Dutch Art Gallery, and I am thrilled to report that he has a new home!  Thanks to gallery owner Pam Massar for selling Georgie Boy to a Dallas collector.  George is a handsome Buff Orpington rooster, and is the mascot at our local Gecko Hardware Store in Lake Highlands.  I painted this 12" x 12" canvas several months ago in the gallery with George sitting on the counter.  I wanted to get his beautiful feathers and full body in this painting.  I loved layering the paint to get a full-chested and fluffy George on canvas using my palette knife.  Thanks for looking at my blog...I guess I need to paint another Georgie soon!  Kay

Bountiful by Kay Wyne

Bountiful

36" x 60" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

Contemporary Floral Painting

Starting with a photograph of John's roses, I quickly added some other flowers to the canvas.  This painting is bold, colorful and graphic.  It has brushstrokes that you can see, along with palette knife work, both creating lots of texture.  This painting is hanging at the studio drying, and while I may make some minor changes, it is completed.  The thick paint will take a while to dry, and then I will need to varnish.  The sides of the canvas are painted black, and a frame is optional.  Thanks for looking at Bountiful,  Contact Kay for more information on this contemporary floral.  Kay

Missed The Boat by Kay Wyne

Missed the Boat

12" x 12" Oil on RayMar Cotton Panel

Contemporary Palette Knife Painting

A trip to Maine gave me the inspiration to paint this small dinghy that was tied up in a fishing village.  I liked the rust and color changes on the metal, the textures in the rocks, and the variations in the water as it rippled across the rocks.  This small painting is available, and looks great framed up.  Contact Kay for more information.  Thanks for looking at this blog.  Kay

George Being George by Kay Wyne

George Being George

12" x 16" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

Contemporary Palette Knife Painting

George, was sitting in his cage up at Gecko Hardware Store in Lake Highlands when I visited him last week.  He was perched up on a branch, taking in the wonderful fall weather.  I put the chicken wire in the background of this painting...or at least implied it.  He was sitting there, just being George.  Therefore, the title, "George Being George". I used thick layers of paint, along with the palette knife to  paint this canvas.  The gallery wrap canvas is is painted on the sides, so no frame is needed.  Contact ME for more information on this painting...It is drying at the studio.  Thanks for looking....Kay

Peaceful by Kay Wyne

Peaceful

Contemporary Landscape Painting

12" x 16" Oil on Canvas

This painting went through some difficult stages before I decided it was complete.  Actually, the canvas was larger, and I cut the canvas down after I had finished painting.  I normally don't do that, but I felt that the composition worked better without so much canvas.  I believe it was originally an 18" x 18".  I used a palette knife all the way on this one...there is texture and depth in the landscape.  The skies are soft and whispy.

This painting is back from the framers and is ready to hang...
