The Nursery by Suzy Pal Powell

I have worked several days on this collage. I have an oriole nest to work from. They are unbelievable!
The way they find strings, twine and other stuff to go into the baby's home!
I have one that has 3-4 different colors of stuff in it. I just love to study them.

12x24 Stretched Canvas

Magazine pages and some acrylic paint

Oriole Nest by Suzy Pal Powell

I found this nest after a storm, and it is wonderful. Full of twine and strings...

blue, yellow orange and some white plastic strings. It is unreal how they weave all around the twigs.

It is 6x6 Oil on gessobord.

It is available.

This long, horizontal format was perfect for these colorful songbirds.  They are all busy out on a limb, looking, chirping, and sitting pretty.  This painting is for sale, and would look great in a den, bedroom or office.  Contact Kay for more info.  Thanks for looking, Kay

Empty Nest Waiting by Kay Wyne

Empty Nest Waiting

8" x 16" Oil on Canvas

Contemporary Palette Knife Painting

Empty Nest Waiting is framed up and hanging at Dutch Art Gallery in Dallas, Texas.  I used a wide brush and my palette knife to create this contemporary nest painting. You can see the wide brushstrokes in the background...I didn't get fussy with it.  I painted it, and left the paint so that the brush strokes were visible.  The sticks and twigs of the nest are thick and textured.  Thanks for looking at this blog.....Kay

Contemporary Bird Painting by Kay Wyne

Day #6 of the 30 Paintings/30 Days with Leslie Saeta

Hot off my easel....below you can see the progression as I placed the birds and limbs with a rough painting.  I wanted to placement to allow the viewer's eye to roam around and go from bird to bird.  

Once I get the general placement of the subject matter on the canvas, I block in colors.  Using large brushes, I can cover lots of space quickly.

More color, not alot of details yet.  Layers and layers of oils go on....

More paint and more paint.  I wanted a colorful and painterly piece...more paint.

And More color...setting the eyes in the birds were some of the last touches.  More layers especially in the nest, but trying to stay loose with my strokes.

Thanks for looking at the art posted here....more painting tomorrow.  It is fun to go into the studio and paint whatever I am in the mood to paint!  These songbirds were colorful and something different for me.  There might be more bird paintings for the 30 Paintings/30 Days!  Kay

City Rooster by Kay Wyne

City Rooster

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
