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

Summer by Artist of Texas, Sheri Jones

Summer

10x8 oil on  canvas

Watermelons and summer time bring back many sweet memories. I painted this from a set up in my back yard. The strong light created great shadows and contrast. I had to work quickly to capture the changing lights.  

This is available for purchase.$200.00

Daisies - Original floral by Nithya Swaminathan

Among all subjects to paint with the knife, flowers are undoubtedly my favorite. By a mile. It's been a while since I painted them, as all my new work has been figurative. So I wanted to paint one for the sheer joy of it.:) And it tells me that spring is almost there.:)

ABSTRACTED TULIP FLORAL PAINTING BY OLGA WAGNER

I am working on a few florals for my upcoming March and April Shows. While my animal paintings and portraits are on the side of Contemporary Realism, my florals tend to gravitate towards the Abstract realm. Here we have a trio of pink tulips on a very contemporary background with lots of texture. This painting went through many color changes, before it finally spoke to me..Hope you like it too!

Shades Of Gray - Janet Bludau

6" x 12"

Oil on Board

$95

I had fun with this one.  There is a painting site that publishes a new challenge to painters every week.  Artists can write in and give challenge ideas and this was a good one.  Your entire painting had to be done in rectangles.  It could be any subject matter, palette or brushwork.

As most artists know, there is no pure gray in color.  A gray is always "grayish" meaning it leans to blue or green or any other color.  To the naked eye (mine at least) the background gray here is a pretty mid value, soft gray.  The "grays" in the vase are more obvious in their color and have either more blue or more green in each of the rectangles.

Relying on photography and different computer monitors can raise some issues when it comes to viewing color online.  My website explains that I always allow returns of my artwork if for any reason you are not thrilled with your purchase!
