Color My World by Kay Wyne

Color My World

14" x 10" Oil on Canvas Panel

Contemporary Palette Knife Painting

Currently hanging at Dutch Art Gallery in Dallas, Texas, this contemporary floral landscape painting is getting framed up for the holidays.  The patches of flowers in the foreground were put in with a palette knife.  I used some impasto in the paint to give it more body and texture.  There was some scraping, pushing and pulling on the surface of the panel giving the painting interest and depth.  Contact Kay for more information on this painting.  Thanks, Kay

Follow the path through this painting, and you will see lots of wildflowers painted with the palette knife.  They are scattered throughout the field...as your eye wanders back and forth into the horizon.  This painting is currently hanging at Dutch Art Gallery in Dallas, Texas.  Contact Kay Wyne or the gallery for more information on this contemporary landscape painting.  Thanks for looking, Kay

Misty

30" x 30" Oil on Canvas

Contemporary Palette Knife Painting

Thanks to Pam Massar, owner of Dutch Art Gallery for framing and selling this large landscape painting.  I love the colors on this canvas, they are soft and harmonious, leading the eye into the horizon.  I enjoyed painting the dramatic clouds...I am so pleased that Misty has a new home!  I have more paintings on the easel in the studio as it is too hot and humid to paint outside right now.  Thanks for looking at this blog....Kay Wyne

Drifting by Kay Wyne

Drifting

12"x 12" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

Contemporary Floral Landscape

Today is day 4 of the 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge

I have been working on a series of floral landscape paintings for the gallery in Santa Fe.  I have explored different size canvases, different color palettes, and different techniques.  Here I used the palette knife to get thicker, more textured flowers in the foreground.  The clouds and horizon have softer brush strokes.  The path fades away into the background....allowing the viewer to drift through the field.  Contact Kay for more information on this piece.  

Impulsive by Kay Wyne

Impulslive

18" x 18" Oil on Heavy Duty Gallery Wrap Canvas

Contemporary Floral Landscape Painting

Day # 2 of the 30/30 Paint Challenge with Leslie Saeta

This painting was a total re-do for me.  I had an abstract

on the canvas, was totally not liking it.  So I switched 

gears and decided it would be a floral landscape...rather

abstract, with thick, thick paint.  I put it on the studio wall

immediately because I did not want to bump into the wet

paint.  I was very impulsive on this painting, and pulled

out some tools---no brushes.  I used a couple of palette

knives, some wipe-off instruments that are great for

scraping and drawing through the paint.  Thanks for

looking at this blog.  Contact Kay for purchasing info.

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

Contemporary Wildflower Landscape

This wildflower landscape painting is completed!  I used the palette knife and brushes to layer the paints.  The clouds started with a warm orange, then layered blues, violets, greys and creamy whites.  You can see some of the base orange color peeking through in the sky.  The flowers in the foreground have thick, layered paint that was applied with the palette knife.  Lots of texture!  Contact Kay for info on this painting.  Thanks, 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...

Springtime Colors by Kay Wyne

Springtime Colors

22" x 28" Oil on Canvas

Contemporary Palette Knife Painting

This contemporary floral landscape is completed and signed!  The thick layers of paint will take a long time to dry...so it will be sitting in the studio for now.  I am going to frame it up in a dark wood moulding, so that the colors will pop!  The field of poppies flows into the background of the field...fading away into the horizon line.

This is a close-up shot of the knife work.  I did not use a brush, only a knife to apply the oils.    Thanks for looking at this blog and the art posted here.  Contact Kay for info on this painting.  Thanks, Kay

Missed The Boat by Kay Wyne

Missed The Boat

12" x 12" Oil on RayMar Cotton Panel

Contemporary Palette Knife Painting

This is a small palette knife painting that was inspired by a weathered dinghy in a small fishing village in Maine.  I liked the rust and all of the imperfections on the dinghy, and all of the rocks poking up out of the water.  There is texture on this panel....and the painting is framed up in a dark wood moulding with a gold liner.  Ready for a new home!  Contact Kay for purchasing information.  Thanks for looking at this blog and the art posted here.  Kay

A Burst Of Color by Kay Wyne

A Burst Of Color

14"x 14" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

Contemporary Palette Knife Painting

This contemporary abstract landscape evolved after I mixed and mixed and mixed colors.  I love the tangerine and hot magenta along with the golden yellow/orange. It is fresh, bold and fully of energy!  This painting has texture since I layered and layered the oils with my palette knife.   It is currently drying at the studio.  Please contact Kay for more information on this painting.  Thanks for looking at this blog....Kay

Colors Of My World by Kay Wyne

Colors Of My World

8" x 16" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

Contemporary Palette Knife Painting

This small landscape painting is colorful and has a dreamy look to it.  I think that the viewer can put his or her imagination to work when looking at this one.  The color palette is beautiful...with so many colors and the cad reds and oranges bounce off the greens and turqoise.  This painting does not require a frame since it is on a gallery wrap canvas.  Contact Kay for more information on this colorful little painting...thanks for looking.  Kay

Lavender Fields by Kay Wyne

Lavender Fields

14" x 14" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

Contemporary Landscape Painting

I was exploring the greens and lavenders in wildflower landscapes, and stopped when I got to a point where the painting is abstract, very little detail.  No fussiness and no blending of colors.  This is part of a series of fourteen canvases, all 14" x 14".  Contact Kay for more information on this painting.  Thanks so much, Kay

Pasture by Kay Wyne

Pasture

14" x 14" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

Contemporary Palette Knife Painting

This abstract painting allows the imagination to take over where I left off.  I wanted a horizon that faded into the background and a foreground that implied a large open field.  The greys, lavenders and greens all work well together, creating a harmonious painting.  There is texture on the surface since I used a palette knife.  This painting is part of a series of fourteen 14" x 14" landscapes.  Contact Kay for more information on this painting or any of the art posted here.  Thanks for viewing....Kay
