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

(Untitled)

This painting is finished.  I think.  I would like to take a few days to let it sit on my easel, giving me a chance to live with it and make some minor changes.  I also need to name it - so if you have any suggestions, I am open-minded about that, and would love to hear from you.  My color palette with just about every color in the book....lots of violets, reds, greens, ochres, turquoise, raspberry ....it is all in there.  Meanwhile, I am working on a couple of roosters....Thanks for looking at this blog.  Contact KAY for more info on this painting.  Kay

12" x 16" Plein Air Landscape

Oil on RayMar Cotton Panel

Day 4 of the 30/30 Challenge

I started to post another painting, but decided that I needed to make some changes on it in the studio today.  So I am posting a plein air painting that I painted at Turtle Creek in Dallas.  The sky was changing quickly and the light and shadows were moving.  I used my trusty palette knife on this panel. My goal was to nail the colors of the day and get the lily pads in the painting.  At first I was concerned that there was too much green in the landscape, and also so many variations of green.  I finished this painting in about an hour and half.

This painting is ready to be framed, and ready for a new home.  Contact Kay for more information on this painting or any others posted here.  Be sure to check out the 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge with Leslie Saeta.  Lots of art posted on one blog from 1,000 artists!  Thanks, Kay

Drifting by Kay Wyne

Drifting

24" x 36" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

Contemporary Wildflower Landscape Painting

When I started this landscape, I wanted a soft, mystical feel to the painting.  I wanted the viewer to "drift" into the painting and roam around the canvas.  The wildflowers are fading into the background, and everything is still.  Not alot of bold brush strokes going on...which many of my paintings have.  The sky is a soft icey gray-blue, and the wildflowers have magentas, ochres, and blue-greens.  This canvas is stretched on gallery wrap stretcher bars, so frame is not needed.  Contact Kay for more information on this painting.  Thanks for looking...KMW

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

Wildflower Summer by Kay Wyne

Wildflower Summer

8" x 8" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

Wildflower Landscape Series

Contemporary Palette Knife Painting

This painting is so wet with juicy oils...I started with

my flat brush, but could not wait to get the palette knives

out to move the paint around.  I am happy with the colors,

the composition and look of this little painting.  I borrowed
some beautiful colors that she had mixed on her palette,
and they were going to dry up if I didn't dive into them.

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.

60" x 48" Oil on Canvas

Contemporary Palette Knife Painting

I just competed this landscape painting over the weekend.  It has fans on it, drying.  I used wide brushes, large palette knifes and lots of thick paint.  There are layers of paint, lots of texture and the wildflowers are so colorful you just want to touch them.  Since I used a gallery wrap canvas, a frame is optional.  Ready to hang as is.  Contact Kay for more information on this painting.  Thanks, Kay

Sunday Afternoon

12" x 12" Oil on Canvas

Contemporary Palette Knife Painting

I was playing around with the palette knife, putting layer after layer on the canvas.  I may need to put a few details on the flowers, but need to let it dry.  The paints were applied with the palette knife, so it will take a while to dry.  Thanks for looking at this blog....Kay

Oil on Heavy Duty Gallery Wrap Canvas

36" x 36"

This painting has taken weeks to complete. It started out as a landscape with intentions of a mountain range and aspen trees. I stopped at one point and decided I wanted a field of wildflowers. Then after painting all of the wildflowers with thick impasto and the palette knife, I scrapped it all off. I really went through the paint, but the end result is something different than I normally paint---with the texture of the canvas coming through and blended colors. and very few hard edges. It is currently drying at the studio. Thanks for viewing my art. KMW at kay@kwyne.com or 214-532-0325.
