Just Because by Kay Wyne

Just Because

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

Fickle by Kay Wyne

Fickle

14" x 11" Oil on Canvas

Contemporary Palette Knife Painting

This abstract still life has sharp edges, bold colors and texture.  I used my palette knife on most of work, along with a few brushstrokes.  This small piece has painted edges, but would look great in a contemporary frame.  Contact Kay for more info on this painting.  Thanks, KMW

I am thankful to live in such a great country. Red, white and blue are everywhere I look as I enjoy this July 4th celebration weekend. In tribute I chose one of our nation's colors as the focal point of a painting. Have a safe and happy Independence Day weekend. God bless the USA!

New Sunflower Painting by Niki Gulley

"Sunny Side Up" ©2011 Niki Gulley

30" x 48" oil painting

In Sunny Side Up, I wanted to paint something bright and happy that would always cause you to smile when you looked at it, and sunflowers are the perfect flower to do just that. Purposely choosing bright complimentary colors and using extremely thick oil paint, I feel the painting really leaps off the canvas and creates the feeling of joy I intended.

If you'd like to see this sunflower painting in person, visit my booth at "Artscape" held at the Dallas Arboretum next weekend (March 18-20.) See dallasarboretum.org/artscape/index.htm for more details.

Or, e-mail me at Niki Gulley if you would like more information or to purchase this painting.

Sunflower oil painting by Niki Gulley

"Rhapsody in Bloom" ©2010 Niki Gulley
Oil painting • 12” x 12”

These sunflowers were painted from a gorgeous bouquet in my studio with extremely thick oil paint and palette knife. I love the contrast in the colors and how the texture of the paint causes them to leap off the canvas and come to life.

New Hibiscus painting by Niki Gulley

“Rhapsody in Bloom” ©2010 Niki Gulley

12” x 12” acrylic on canvas

Created with extremely thick paint and mediums, applied with palette knives to achieve extreme texture and vibrant colors filled with life and energy. The image is painted around the sides of the 1.5 inch deep gallery wrap canvas so that it looks three-dimensional and can be hung as is without a frame for a contemporary look or with a floater frame for a more traditional decor. These chunky floral paintings look great in pairs and threes.

To see my “Rhapsody in Bloom” paintings in person, visit my booth #355 at the Gold Coast Art Show in Chicago, IL this weekend. For more information on the show, go to amdurproductions.com/f-goldcoast-public.html.
