On my easel by Kay Wyne

This painting is on my easel...

I started with a 36" x 60" gallery wrap canvas.

Here are a few pics of the progress.

I usually work on a tinted canvas but wanted to do something different, 

so I went with a black background on the canvas.

Then I had a few shapes sketched in very loose and abstract using chalk.

I couldn't wait to get into the paints and get color on the canvas.

I used a wide flat brush, and mixed piles of corals, pinks, magentas and violets.

I was using this photograph of a rose from our front yard planter...John's got a wonderful green thumb.  I especially liked the rose buds surrounding the flowering rose.

I realized that the rose on the left of the canvas was getting out of control and too large, so I used the palette knife and started scraping and re-shapping the petals.  This is where I stopped....I can't wait to get back into the studio and tackle this canvas.  I plan to add another large flower to balance out the composition.

Thanks for looking at this blog...Kay

CONTEMPORARY PEAR ON YELLOW in ACRYLICS by OLGA WAGNER

Last couple of weeks I have been working really hard on some Christmas Commissions.. Unfortunately due to the nature of them being surprise gifts, I don't want to post them until after the Holiday.

So here goes another Pear...This is the Larger version of the one I posted a few days ago...This one has heavy texture and incredible depth of color...Unfortunately the photo doesn't do it justice.

This one, along with all the other pears will be a STAR at the "Warm and Fuzzy" group exhibition at the Local Color of Raleigh Gallery. Opening Reception will be Friday, January 6th from 6pm till 9pm...
