Misty by Kay Wyne

Misty

30" x 30" Oil on Canvas

Contemporary Palette Knife Painting

This painting needs a handsome frame.  

This palette knife painting has gone through many changes, with layers and layers of color.  I moved and pushed the paint around, changed the colors, changed the horizon line and the path.  It was a misty and moody day in Dallas...and I saw alot of the greys, lavenders and the start of spring green when I painted this.  It has an impressionistic feel to it.  I don't know how long it will take to dry, even with the impasto.....but I think it will look nice framed up.  Contact Kay for more information on this painting.  Thanks for looking at this blog.....Kay

Layers of Color by Kay Wyne - Sold

Layers of Color

Sold at Dutch Art Gallery!

20" x 24" Oil on Canvas

Contemporary Palette Knife Painting

This is paint sold last week at Dutch Art Gallery in Dallas, Texas.

I really liked this painting, because it was fun to paint....started with

a brush but in the end, the palette knife took control.  And, of 

course it was colorful and had lots of texture.  Pam Massar, 

owner at the gallery framed it up and it looked handsome.  I am glad

that this painting, Layers of Color has a new home.

Thank you, Pam!

Untitled Wildflower Landscape by Kay Wyne

Untitled

8" x 16" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

Contemporary Palette Knife Painting

I am currently working on a new series of landscape paintings...it is a good time to explore and experiment with my paints.  Now I am in the studio for a long stretch of time, all day long with few interruptions.  I have 16 paintings started, all at different stages.  Most are landscapes---and one cow.  The cow is a challenge.  

This small wildflower landscape is completed.  The colors in the wildflowers are bouncing off of each other.  I must say that I did borrowed some paint from Sharon in the studio since she had piles of paint mixed up.  Huge piles of beautiful paint...so much paint that the dogs got into the paint today!  Thanks for looking at this blog and the art posted here.  Contact Kay for more information.  This painting does not require a frame since it is on a thick gallery wrap canvas.  KMW

"Where Oh Where" Abstract, Palette Knife Landscapes by California Janet Bludau

12" x 12"

Oil

$250

I recently came back from a really enjoyable 4 day workshop by Marla Baggetta, a Portland based artist.  Marla's medium is primarily soft pastels but she uses a lot of acrylics also.  I found a kindred spirit:  I get teased about how many paths I paint and here was someone else who sure does paint a lot of paths!  I came home and painted this on board with oil, instead of paper with soft pastels.  Our "styles" are different.  She has a beautiful, loose, free way with her work.  That is also one of the reasons I wanted to learn from her.  I am always wanting to loosen up, as are most artists I know.  Its wonderful to incorporate a few new techniques or, what I have especially liked are the words that come to me from prior classes.  "What If" came to me with this piece and I started scraping  the blue paint back to the red.  At the end of the day though, when you line a group of paintings up, you will most likely know which painting belongs to which painter.  Mine typically have that contemporary, angular style.

No Boundaries by Kay Wyne

No Boundaries

20" x 60" Oil on Linen Gallery Wrap

I love the linen showing through on this contemporary aspen painting. When I started painting, I wanted the viewer to be able to see the linen. The natural linen is warm and rich in color. I used a wide, flat brush and the palette knife to apply the oils. The 80" high canvas would look great on a vertical space with a high ceiling...it is ready to ship to the gallery in Santa Fe. Thanks for viewing this blog...Kay at 214-532-0325 or kay@kwyne.com.

Season of Color by Kay Wyne

Season of Color

30" x 40" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

This painting is at the Omni Hotel Convention Center for the ribbon cutting ceremonies this Friday, November 11th. 11 - 11 - 11. What a great date. It will be on display in the Grand Ball Room. Anyone who has been around me knows that I have worked with McKane Consulting on an art project for the new hotel. It has been a really good experience on many levels. I have been working with many Dallas artists, people on the construction side of the hotel and the good people at McKane Consulting. I have met so many neat artists, and have been able to create LOTS of art. More on the project later. This painting is for sale, and if you are interested, please contact Kay at kay@kwyne.com. Thanks for viewing. Kay

I have been playing hooky from my posting duties, as I have been on vacation!  We had a great time renting a big house on Coronado Island off of San Diego in California.  I rode around on my rented bike and took many photographs that will hopefully develop into future paintings.

Postcards from Idaho-Friendly Fences, by Kathryn Willis

Friendly Fences, 8x10" oil on panel, by Kathryn Willis
Available $325

Friendly Fences, was painted from the field of our Idaho land, looking out to the neighbors farm. With only a few days left in Idaho before returning to Arizona, I'm finishing up a few paintings, and regretting all the places I haven't painted yet. I suppose that will always be the lament of a creative person. In response to a friend that asked "when will you be finished?" Steve replied for me, "she's never finished."
