Windy December by Kay Wyne

Windy December

8" x 10" Oil on RayMar Cotton Panel

En Plein Air Palette Knife Painting

This is probably one of my favorite plein air paintings.  I have so many paintings that I started outside, but was unable to finish.  I stuck it out on this one, even though it was a very cold and windy December day at White Rock Lake.  I like the feel of the painting...kind of moody, and because I used the palette knife, there was a lot of scraping and modeling of the oils.  This painting is available, and looks great in a dark mahogany wood frame with a gold inside liner.  Contact Kay for more information.  Thanks, Kay

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

12" x 16" Plein Air Painting

Oil on RayMar Cotton Panel

Yesterday morning was a good day for painting

along Turtle Creek and catching the colors of

the day. The sky was changing quickly and the

light and shadows were constantly 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

very concerned that there was too much green

in the landscape, and also so many variations

of green.  This painting is drying at the studio....

Thanks for taking the time to check out this blog.

For the last 5 days I've been camping in Zion and at Brian Head, UT. I was wonderful getting away to some cool weather and away from the moving and putting things away. 

This painting is one of the plein air paintings that I did in Brian Head. I didn't get very much accomplished as far as painting. I didn't bring the main colors with me that I always use. I had a lot of odd colors to work with. I had cleaned out my bag and thought that I put the right colors in, but what I got instead was a lot of frustration. Anyway, I hiked a lot more than painted and I probably needed that more.

Tomorrow I should get back to work along with some errands that I will be doing. So, I will talk to you all later. 

Remember to sign up for my newsletter. There are a few days left this month to be in the drawing for a free painting that I will give away at the end of July.
