First Rooster by Kay Wyne

First Rooster

20" x 16" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

Contemporary Rooster Series

I am in the studio these days working on a commission, and took a break to paint this fun rooster.  It's 2017 --- The Year of the Rooster.  This is my first rooster to paint this year, so I named it "First Rooster".  Using a large filbert brush, I scrubbed over an old painting, so there are colors peaking through.  I did not go into any details with this colorful rooster---I used generous amounts of straight paint (no medium) so some of the brush marks are thick, others are thin.  This painterly rooster is drying in the studio, but will be looking for a new home!  Contact Kay Wyne for more info.  Thanks for looking...KMW

Sunshine by Kay Wyne

Sunshine

10" x 10" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

Contemporary Rooster Series

This small rooster is dry now and ready for a new home.  I think Sunshine would look great on a kitchen wall or sitting on a countertop.  I painted this colorful rooster so that he is nestled in the grass, and pops with the contrasting black background.  I used a wide flat bright brush all the way on this fine feathered friend...you can see the spontaneous strokes in the grass and the feathers.  Contact Kay for more info on Sunshine.  Thanks for looking at this blog.  Kay

Georgie Boy by Kay Wyne - Sold

Georgie Boy

Sold

12" x 12" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

Contemporary Rooster Painting 

George has flown away from Dutch Art Gallery, and I am thrilled to report that he has a new home!  Thanks to gallery owner Pam Massar for selling Georgie Boy to a Dallas collector.  George is a handsome Buff Orpington rooster, and is the mascot at our local Gecko Hardware Store in Lake Highlands.  I painted this 12" x 12" canvas several months ago in the gallery with George sitting on the counter.  I wanted to get his beautiful feathers and full body in this painting.  I loved layering the paint to get a full-chested and fluffy George on canvas using my palette knife.  Thanks for looking at my blog...I guess I need to paint another Georgie soon!  Kay

Loose brush strokes and various shades of blue cover this big guy...he looks like he has attitude, kind of bossy.  I thought the name of this painting should be  "The Big Boss".  His feathers are full and fluffy,  He needs a handsome frame.  This painting is for sale and at the studio at this time.  Contact Kay if you would like to give "The Big Boss" a new home!  Thanks for looking at this blog....Kay

Big Red by Kay Wyne

Big Red

4" x 4" Oil on RayMar Cotton Panel

Contemporary Rooster Painting

$75

Day #10 in the 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge

This little rooster --- even though he is called Big Red, has bold brushstrokes, and is a very simple painting.  You can see the strokes on the cotton panel.  It was way too cold for me to go outside and photograph-I usually take all of my pics in natural light outside the studio.  So there is a little shine on the panel.  I have a shorthorn started and he is sitting on my easel...I can't wait to get to the studio today to work on him.  Thanks for looking at this blog.  Contact Kay with any comments or questions.  KMW

Itty-Bitty by Kay Wyne

Itty-Bitty

3" x 3" Oil on RayMar Cotton Panel

This little rooster is all framed up and ready to find a new home!  Pam Massar Dutch Art Gallery in Dallas asked me to paint a small rooster in a very small frame...painting on a 3" x 3" canvas is challenging....I prefer a 30" x 30"!!!!  But, I pulled out two new brushes that were tiny, and here's my results.  As you can see, I am holding the frame and it is small!  Thus, the name of this rooster is Itty-Bitty.  I have four more smalls that I am working on, along with a commission for a Christmas gift...more painting today!  Thanks for looking...Kay

This little panting was fun to paint---all with the palette knife.  I usually don't paint on dark canvas, but I did this time so that the rooster would pop.  This small panel would look great on an easel for display.  Contact Kay with any comments or questions.  The Little One is for sale.  Thanks, Kay
