Untitled Floral Still Life by Kay Wyne

Untitled Floral Still Life

16" x 20" Oil on RayMar Cotton Panel

Contemporary Palette Knife Painting

As an artist, I have many choices when I stand at my easel to paint.  I made some choices when I started with this canvas, but switched gears several times along the way.  I started out placing this canvas horizontally on my easel.  And, I painted a landscape.  I decided it wasn't working for me, so I thought that a vertical still life would work.  But I was using wide brushes, and after several days, made a switch to use a palette knife instead of a brush.  I scrapped the whole painting off, and started all over.  

Here is a couple of close-up shots of the flowers.  The shapes overlap, the knife gives the paint texture and interest.  I need to put a title on this painting, let it dry and varnish it.  Contact Kay for purchasing info.  Thanks, KMW

10" x 20" Oil on RayMar Cotton Panel

Contemporary Landscape Painting

This palette knife painting is very impressionistic and moody.  I pushed and scraped the oils around with the knife.  I look at this painting and see different images appear each time.  You can visualize and imagine what is in the distance at the horizon.  This painting is framed in a silver floater frame, and is very handsome.  Contact Kay Wyne for more information on this painting.  Thanks, Kay

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.

Here is a close-up of the painting....the paint is built up on the canvas. Contact Pam Massar at The Dutch Art Gallery Dallas TX if you are interested in purchasing.  Thanks for viewing this art blog.  Have a good day...Kay

Wandering Through by Kay Wyne

Wandering Through

48" x 60" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

Contemporary Palette Knife Painting

This painting is drying at the studio...a contemporary floral landscape bursting with color and texture.  I have been working on this canvas for days...with layers and layers of paint.  The scene is a wide view of wildflowers wandering through the landscape.  The sky is heavy with paint and texture.  Because this painting is on thick stretcher bars/gallery wrap canvas, framing is optional.  This is a great size canvas to hang above a sofa or fireplace.  Contact Kay for more information on this painting.  Thanks for looking at this blog.  Kay
