The Road by Kay Wyne

Day # 3 in the 30/30 Paint Challenge

Contemporary Landscape Painting

I started this landscape several years ago...and it was inspired by a photograph that my husband, John Wyne took.  I have taken liberties with the image, and made it mine.  I really like the road, but changed up the colors.  We have an enlarged photograph framed up in our home...it was a neat scene.  This is my interpretation of the landscape....oil on canvas.  Contact ME

Anyway The Wind Blows by Kay Wyne

Anyway The Wind Blows

36" x 36" Oil on Heavy Duty Gallery Wrap Canvas
Contemporary Landscape Painting

My color palette with just about every color in the book....lots of violets, reds, greens, ochres, turquoise, raspberry ....it is all in there.  I can imagine standing in a large open field with the wind blowing, and seeing so many colors, with them fading off into the horizon.  Every blade of tall grass is a different  in color, giving this painting a fresh contemporary feel.  I would hope that the viewer would look at this painting and be able to feel the wind whipping around.  This painting is ready to hang...with or without a frame.   Contact Kay for more info on this painting.  Kay

(Untitled)

This painting is finished.  I think.  I would like to take a few days to let it sit on my easel, giving me a chance to live with it and make some minor changes.  I also need to name it - so if you have any suggestions, I am open-minded about that, and would love to hear from you.  My color palette with just about every color in the book....lots of violets, reds, greens, ochres, turquoise, raspberry ....it is all in there.  Meanwhile, I am working on a couple of roosters....Thanks for looking at this blog.  Contact KAY for more info on this painting.  Kay

Sitting on my easel...by Kay Wyne

Sitting on my easel....

36" x 36" Oil on Heavy Duty Gallery Wrap Canvas

Contemporary Floral Landscape

I started this colorful landscape a couple of months ago and didn't know what I was going to do with the background.  So I left it, and went on to some other paintings.  It would of been easier for me if I figured the background out before I started on the foreground.  But I don't always do things the easy and most logical method.  So, I am going to change the sky, horizon line and background.  So pretty much 2/3 of the canvas will be a different color palette.  This is my project for the week...I hope to post a completed painting soon.  Thanks for looking at this blog....Kay

Day 4 of the 30/30 Challenge

I started to post another painting, but decided that I needed to make some changes on it in the studio today.  So I am posting a plein air painting that I painted at Turtle Creek in Dallas.  The sky was changing quickly and the light and shadows were moving.  I used my trusty palette knife on this panel. My goal was to nail the colors of the day and get the lily pads in the painting.  At first I was concerned that there was too much green in the landscape, and also so many variations of green.  I finished this painting in about an hour and half.

This painting is ready to be framed, and ready for a new home.  Contact Kay for more information on this painting or any others posted here.  Be sure to check out the 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge with Leslie Saeta.  Lots of art posted on one blog from 1,000 artists!  Thanks, Kay

Peaceful by Kay Wyne

Peaceful

Contemporary Landscape Painting

12" x 16" Oil on Canvas

This painting went through some difficult stages before I decided it was complete.  Actually, the canvas was larger, and I cut the canvas down after I had finished painting.  I normally don't do that, but I felt that the composition worked better without so much canvas.  I believe it was originally an 18" x 18".  I used a palette knife all the way on this one...there is texture and depth in the landscape.  The skies are soft and whispy.

This painting is back from the framers and is ready to hang...

Forever by Kay Wyne

Forever

18" x 18" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

Contemporary Floral Landscape

This painting is drying at the studio, as I finished it yesterday.  I have worked on this painting quite a long time---many sessions in the studio.  I wanted the eye to see forever...with the background disappearing.  I hope that the viewer feels like he or she is standing at the base of the wildflower field, enjoying the beautiful colors and fresh air.  Contact Kay for more information on this painting or any other pieces posted on this blog.  Thanks, Kay

Oil on Linen

12" x 16"

This painting was inspired by a photo that my husband took about fifteen years ago when he went to New Mexico and Colorado on a fishing trip. The rugged landscape of Colorado is so beautiful that I had to paint it. Contact Kay for purchasing information.  Thanks for viewing....Kay

Untitled Landscape by Kay Wyne

Untitled - needs a name!

18" x 18" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

Contemporary Wildflower Painting

This painting is one of the wildflower landscape series that I am working on.  I think I am finished...I will let it sit in the studio for the next couple of days and over time decide if I need to put some more paint on it.  I mixed my colors on my palette before I started painting...I knew I needed five or six mixtures of purpley-blues.  If you have a good suggestion for a name for this painting, please let me know.  Let Kay know your suggestion.  Thanks for looking at this blog...Kay

A Burst Of Color by Kay Wyne

A Burst Of Color

14"x 14" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

Contemporary Palette Knife Painting

This contemporary abstract landscape evolved after I mixed and mixed and mixed colors.  I love the tangerine and hot magenta along with the golden yellow/orange. It is fresh, bold and fully of energy!  This painting has texture since I layered and layered the oils with my palette knife.   It is currently drying at the studio.  Please contact Kay for more information on this painting.  Thanks for looking at this blog....Kay

Pasture by Kay Wyne

Pasture

14" x 14" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

Contemporary Palette Knife Painting

This abstract painting allows the imagination to take over where I left off.  I wanted a horizon that faded into the background and a foreground that implied a large open field.  The greys, lavenders and greens all work well together, creating a harmonious painting.  There is texture on the surface since I used a palette knife.  This painting is part of a series of fourteen 14" x 14" landscapes.  Contact Kay for more information on this painting or any of the art posted here.  Thanks for viewing....Kay

Obscurity by Kay Wyne

Obscurity
8" x 16" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas
Contemporary Palette Knife Painting

Uncertainty and obscurity comes to my mind when I look at this small abstract painting.  I was working towards a landscape with my palette knife and paints.  I worked and moved the paint across the canvas.  I see a nocturnal scene with earthy colors.  This painting has layers of color, and abstract shapes to pull the eye into the painting.  This is on a thick gallery wrap canvas, and the sides are painted, so a frame is optional.  Contact Kay for more info on this painting or the art posted here.  Thank you for viewing....Kay

Contemporary Abstract Landscape

This is day 8 of the 30 Paintings in 30 Days with Leslie Saeta.

I used a #12 Filbert on this canvas, so there are wide brushstrokes,

and very little detail.  I see geometric shapes and color when I look

at the New Mexico landscape.  Thanks for looking at the paintings I post....

you can email me if you have any comments or questions.

Have an artful day.....Kay
