A Day In Saguaro by Kay Wyne

A Day In Saguaro

12" x 24" Oil on Canvas

Contemporary Landscape

This Arizona desert landscape is framed up and now hangs in our home.  The location is Saguaro National Park East.  The rough landscape of the desert was fun to paint once I had my underpainting in.  I used a palette knife on the mountains, cactus and shrubs.  Thanks for looking at this blog.  Kay

I just signed and completed this small panel...it is drying in the studio.  I can't wait to put a frame on it!  It was fun to put this one together...I was in the mood for lots of happy color.  My palette is covered with so much color...that I have started some other paintings with my left-over piles of oil.  Contact Kay with any comments or questions.  Thanks for looking at my blog.  Kay

16" x 20" Oil on RayMar Cotton Panel

Contemporary Floral Still Life

I was painting away in the studio one day last week, when one of my studio mates bought me some peonies from Trader Joe's.  What a nice surprise.  They were stunning.  I had to paint them, and here's my results.  Below are a couple of photos of the set-up and the painting in progress.

Thanks for looking at my blog...if you are interested in this painting, or have any comments, please feel free to contact me.  This painting will be framed up after it dries.  Kay

Mixed Media

This painting is finished, and is drying in the studio.  It's interesting that I see different things in this painting than others do.  I started with a roadmap of Texas.  About half way through the painting my husband saw a map of the United States.  My cousin sees a big mouth bass (Big Billy Bass) in it, and one of my studio mates see a vase with flowers in abundance covering the entire canvas.  Let me know if you have a title suggestion for this one.  I love the colors, lines and shapes that flow from each other.  I used oils, oil bars and charcoal on this one.  So it is a mixed media piece.  Thanks for looking at my blog.  Contact Kay for more info.  Kay Wyne

Bursting Forward by Kay Wyne

Bursting Forward

36" x 48" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

Contemporary Floral

Layers of color, texture and variety in brush strokes give this large canvas interest.  The subject matter is one of my favorites to painting....florals and more florals!  Using the palette knife gives me the opportunity to fraction the paint and change up my edges on the petals.  This floral is looking for a new home...and does not require framing.  Contact Kay for more information on this contemporary floral.  Thanks for looking...KMW

Extravagant Ways by Kay Wyne

Extravagant Ways
Oil and Oil Stick on 40" x 40" Gallery Wrap Canvas
Contemporary Abstract Floral

I love painting on large square canvases.  This 40" x 40" canvas is drying in the studio, waiting to be varnished.  Actually this is a mixed media piece because I used charcoal, oils, and oil bars.  Using the willow charcoal stick, I scraped into the layered oil when it was wet.  I enjoyed experimenting with different color combos as I worked my way through the painting.  The asymmetrical design and irregular shapes gives the imagination a chance to go to work.  Contact Kay for more info on this original painting.  Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!  KMW

Over The Top by Kay Wyne

Over The Top
40" x 30" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas
Contemporary Palette Knife Painting

This painting started out on my easel as a horizontal abstract with shapes and colors representing a keyboard.  After working with oil sticks, palette knife and a rubber scraper, it was in a state of uncertainty.  Last week I decided to flip the canvas and paint something abstract with the canvas sitting vertically.  Once colors and shapes appeared, I saw a very colorful and textural floral still life.  It is "Over The Top"!  Contact Kay for more information on this contemporary painting.  Thanks for looking at this blog...KMW

24" x 24" Oil on Canvas-Framed

This contemporary abstract has a new home in Dallas.  I am always glad to know where my paintings land, and this painting was purchased by a lovely Dallas couple for their new home.  Oils on canvas are my first love, but I am trying to branch out creatively.  Currently, I have experimented with oils on oil paper, and now I am working in ink and watercolor.  I hope to post some of the new works soon.  Thanks for looking at my blog.  Have an artful day!  Kay

40" x 40" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas
Contemporary Abstract Painting

Sometimes I feel like my brain has all these ideas for painting and I can't get into the studio fast enough to get the paint on the canvas.  That is exactly what happened when I painted this colorful abstract. I used scrapers, brushes and palette knifes to put the paint down, and painted very fast.  The result is a fresh and unexpected abstract.  Random Ideas is at the studio, and available for purchase.  Contact Kay for more info.  Thanks for looking....KMW 

Little Red Rooster by Kay Wyne

Little Red Rooster

12" x 12" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

Rooster and Chicken Series

This small painting is loose, colorful and playful.

Thick paint was applied with a filbert --- you can

see globs of oil and the paint oozing onto the

canvas.  I had originally painted a rooster who

was stiff, and looked like a statue, so I totally

repainted him and had fun doing so.

This painting is available for sale.

Contact Kay for purchasing info.

Dallas Days by Kay Wyne

Dallas Days

36" x 48" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

Contemporary Cityscape

Inspired by a plein air experience at White Rock Lake, I decided that I would go with a large canvas --- 36" x 48" in the studio.  The subject matter was the same, with the Dallas skyline in the background, White Rock Lake and the tall grass on the hill in the foreground. Wide brushstrokes and palette knife work were used to create this cityscape.  It is drying at the studio...contact Kay Wyne for more info.  Thanks for looking at this blog!  KMW
