Blue Skies Ahead by Kay Wyne

Blue Skies Ahead

24" x 36" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

Contemporary Wildflower Landscape

This painting is completed, signed and drying on my easel.  Broad brush strokes, palette knife work, and vivid colors are characteristics found in the contemporary landscape.  Blue Skies Ahead was a challenge for me, and it went through several phases before I was able to call it completed.  

I started this painting with a base coat of turquoise---and in some places that paint peeks through.  The colorful sky and fast moving clouds were easy to put in, and I was careful to keep my darks dark; lights light; and mid-tones mid-tones.  I used a large filbert and huge amounts of paint for that.  

I was able to put in the background with some muted greys, lavenders, and greens.  The foreground colors were not easy to mix.  I wanted golden ochres, earthy greens and violet blues.  The blue bonnets have four and five different colors of blues, mostly applied with the palette knife.  I put a road in, with it fading off into the background.  More landscapes to come.  Contact Kay for more information on this painting.  Thanks for viewing....Kay

Rural Road Display by Sheri Jones

Rural Road Display 

11x14 oil on canvas

I painted this on Saturday on a rural road outside of Glen Rose.  There there distance hills covered in blue bonnets. It was difficult to find a place to park and difficult to narrow my focus.  I finally settled down and this was my result.  I was thrilled to be there and hope it shows.  This is available for purchase.  $300.00

Back Road Creek by Sheri Jones

Backroad Creek by Sheri Jones
16 x 20 oil on canvas
This painting was inspired from a trip to Willow City Loop last spring. This is a rural area in the Texas Hill Country. We were taking roads less travelled and enjoyed discovering this backroad creek. This 22 mile loop will take you on one of the most beautiful areas in Texas. When blue bonnets are at their prime this is a must see. I created this with a palette knife.
This painting is available for purchase.
