George, Out On A Limb

16" x 16" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

Contemporary Rooster Painting

George is a handsome Buff Orpington rooster, and is the mascot at our local Gecko Hardware Store in Lake Highlands.  I snapped a photo of him on in tree branch outside the store...I wanted to get his beautiful feathers and full body in this painting.  I loved layering the paint to get a full-chested and fluffy George on canvas.  This painting is drying now at the studio....contact Kay if you have any questions or comments concerning George.  Thanks, Kay

30" x 30" Oil on canvas, framed in gold leaf moulding.

City Rooster traveled this week to The Good Art Company Gallery in Fredericksburg, Texas.

Last weekend John and I met Mary Katherine Fickel, owner of The Good Art Company of Fredericksburg. She immediately was taken with my birds nest, rooster and chicken paintings. Mary Katherine had made a sale earlier in the day, and hung Only The Lonely in the gallery on the spot! I am excited to add The Good Art Company as a gallery representing my art.

Mary Katherine with Only The Lonely, an original palette knife painting. I am excited about my new relationship with a The Good Art Company, and wish Mary Katherine the best of luck for tonight's Art Walk. Thanks for viewing this blog and the art shown. Have an artful day....Kay at 214-532-0325 or kay@kwyne.com

Mac the Rooster by Kay Wyne

Mac the Rooster

Palette Knife Painting on 10" x 17" Raymar Panel

This palette knife painting was inspired by a kitchy wooden rooster from Macomb, Illinois. Mary Karas liked roosters, and this one had a prominent place in the Karas kitchen. I remember it well, as I spent many hours at their house growing up. Mrs. Karas gave me this rooster years ago, and it has been roosting in the Wyne kitchen.

Here is the wooden rooster next to the painting. I jazzed up the feathers and exaggerated the length of his neck, and added some color to him. He does have personality! It will probably take months to dry since the paint is very thick. I did not use a brush, only palette knives. Mac was fun to paint, especially since he has a history! Thanks to Mrs. Karas for passing this fine rooster on to the Wyne family, and thank you for viewing this blog and my art. Kay at 214-532-0325 or kay@kwyne.com.
