Diptych - Landscape by Kay Wyne

This diptych is probably completed....I want to look at it for a couple of days on the easel. Maybe a few minor changes....and I need a name for this piece. Each canvas panel is 30" x 15" and needs framing. I had some ideas when I sat down to paint with my palette knife....I wanted a colorful, quick painting with some hard edges. No fussing at all. Just lines, shapes and color. I will post more paintings that are on my easel tomorrow....thanks, Kay at kay@kwyne.com.

At Ease - Janet Bludau

12" x 12"

Oil on Archival Board

At Ease is my latest painting of local dinghy boats.  

All the others have sold but this one is available,  being fairly "hot off the easel"! 

 They haven't all included dock or pier pilings but I love the strong verticals that these pillars provide.   This piece I painted a bit larger and also pushed the color - I like it and hope you do also!

Between Portland and Eugene-Janet Bludau

Oregon is such a beautiful state.  I took several photos on one of my drives back to the airport after visiting my daughter at school.  This 6x6" oil was juried into the Higbee 6" Squared show a month ago and is a combination of brushwork and pallete knife.  I am showing it both unframed and then framed in a floater from Art and Frame.

Citrus Flowers (Commission) - sold by Roxanne Steed

10"x10" oil on stretched Belgian linen

"The question is not....what is life? The question is...what is your experience of living?"
- Bob Burridge

After returning from my San Diego journey, I was home long enough to do some laundry, frame some finished paintings going into the Norfolk "Ballet Virginia International" show, ready my plein air supplies for "Out & About Norfolk" (the plein air portion of the two event show), AND...finish a commission that I had the sketches already prepared for. One of my repeat collectors requested a painting of a favorite bouquet- it had orange roses, red-orangey gerber daisies, and yellow Peruvian lilies (alstroemeria) in a big green glass vase. Lemons & limes in a bowl and a favorite 'kitty' mug (we both have been 'owned' by a big orange cat!) brought all these citrus colors together. It made me think of Florida (where I'm from, and) where she lives! Thanks for the honor Kathy! I thoroughly enjoyed it!

I'm thinking that once the weather gets too cold to be out painting, I'll be bringing home some bright colored flowers to paint in my studio! They are so cheery when the skies go gray and cold. My neighbor says there's rumors of snow flurries this Saturday?!?! ACKKK- I'm not quite ready for this kind of cold yet! Guess I'd better be thinking about what kind of flowers I'd like to paint!
