Bright Morning Pose, by New York artist, Celeste Plowden
I learned the art of acrylic and pastel painting through private instruction, after having spent my career as a designer of printed fabrics in the New York market place. I am a graduate of the College of Design, Art and Architecture at the University of Cincinnati, with a major in the History of Art, 1977. Later, I studied printed textile design at Parsons School of Design, in New York. Immediately afterward, I began free lance work for several design studios in the garment district of NYC, where I did re-coloration work for printed apparel fabrics, and sold my own designs through Bread and Butter Designs,also located in New York. In addition, during the 1980's and 1990's, I designed a number of needlecraft and stencil books for Dover Publications. Currently, I am working on a series of exotic birds and other animals done in acrylic paint, with a palette knife, for texture and brilliant color. I consider my paintings to be representational or impressionistic in nature, and I use fantasy colors because what I see often makes me feel these colors,and what would make an interesting composition, rather than using realistic colors.

I'm Listening! by Kay Wyne
I'm Listening!
20" x 20" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

This is a good looking short-horn was at the LBJ Ranch, and I loved the way the left ear was perked up as if he was listening to our conversation. I have had this Hereford sitting on my easel for a month or so...I think I am finished with it. Here is a close up of the right ear:
I really liked the way the ear turned out...actually it is my favorite part about this painting! I will let this one dry in the studio, and maybe make a few modifications here and there, but I signed it, and it is pretty much finished. I don't know what I will be working on tomorrow, but as you can see the month of January is coming to an end....only five more posts on the challenge! If you have any comments or questions, please contact Kay Wyne. Thanks for looking at this blog. Kay
