Out On A Limb by Kay Wyne

Out On A Limb

12" x 36" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

This contemporary oil painting is fun and colorful.  All five songbirds are perched out on a limb, doing their own thing.  The size of this canvas is unusual...12" x 36" landscape is pretty long and narrow, and would great in a den, office or hallway.  It has a punch of color and would be a great addition to any wall or bookcase.  Contact Kay for purchasing information.  Thanks for looking at the art posted here...Kay

6" x 8" Oil on RayMar Cotton Panel

Contemporary Abstract Painting

I used my palette knife all the way on this little panel.  I had the reds and oranges bouncing off the magenta/pink background.  The birdies on the wire are shades of gray.  I am thinking the abstract birds might be a possiblity for a large painting.  This is Day 10 of the 30 Paintings/30 Days Challenge.  Contact Kay for purchasing info.  Thanks for looking!  KMW

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
