Contemporary Bovine Series

Standing in his field, this contemporary cow is looking right at you.  He has the stare going on, and he is as still as a statue.  I had seen this handsome guy at the Ft. Worth Stock Show and had to paint him.  He is dry and ready to hang on the wall.  I painted the sides of the gallery wrap canvas, so framing is optional. Contact Kay Wyne for purchasing information.  Thanks, Kay

I'm Listening! by Kay Wyne

I'm Listening!

20" x 20" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

This contemporary bovine is 

my work for Day # 25 in the 30/30 Paint Challenge.

This is a good looking short-horn was at the LBJ Ranch, and I loved the way the left ear was perked up as if he was listening to our conversation.  I have had this Hereford sitting on my easel for a month or so...I think I am finished with it.  Here is a close up of the right ear:

I really liked the way the ear turned out...actually it is my favorite part about this painting!  I will let this one dry in the studio, and maybe make a few modifications here and there, but I signed it, and it is pretty much finished.  I don't know what I will be working on tomorrow, but as you can see the month of January is coming to an end....only five more posts on the challenge!  If you have any comments or questions, please contact Kay Wyne.  Thanks for looking at this blog.  Kay

I can honestly say that this guy has been hanging around the studio for months...unfinished.  I believe that this sweet cow lives on my Uncle Scott's farm in Illinois.  I started this canvas over a year ago, and changed the background color a couple of times, then I got stuck on his creamy, soft face.  I pulled Oreo out and he sat on my easel...once I put his eye in, he was easy to finish.  Pushing myself to paint 30 paintings in 30 days with the Leslie Saeta Paint Challenge inspires me to paint faster, smarter and manage my time better.  Contact Kay Wyne if you are interested in Oreo...he is looking for a new home.  Happy New Year!  Kay

Buttercup by Kay Wyne

Buttercup

Contemporary Cow

18" x 24" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

I completed this painting in the studio today.  I just made some minor changes that have an impact on this Buttercup...her colors are so warm and rich.  So buttery....I thought that Buttercup was ideal for her name.  Hi lights and low lights and some random splashes of turquoise and coral punch it up.  For the most part I used a flat wide brush, but in the end, used a small filbert to scrub in some color and abstract lines.  Contact Kay for more information and photos on Buttercup.  Have an artful day.....KMW

Framing is optional, as the sides of canvas are painted.

I think I am finished with this painting.  It is sitting on my easel, and I will take a few days to step away from it and see if I need make any adjustments.  This beauty was over at the Ft. Worth Stock Show in February this year, and I decided to put him out in a field on my canvas.  I may need to re-take the photo, as the colors don't look as true in the photo as they do standing in front of the canvas.

Here is my reference photo...I thought he was beautiful standing there in the barn, getting ready to be shown. His coat was clean and blown-dry.  I think he traveled from Illinois to Ft. Worth for the stock show.  Below is a a close-up of the eye.  

Thanks for looking at this blog, and if you have any questions or comments concerning this painting, contact Kay.  Thanks for looking....Kay

Inspired by a photograph taken by Renn Lawrence...thank you Renn!  I couldn't take my eyes of this longhorn, and finished him in the studio yesterday.  I amped up the colors, but used the photograph as a reference.  I loved the golden yellows, ochres and oranges on his coat.  He is drying at the studio right now...Thanks for looking at him.  Contact Kay Wyne for more information on Cactus Ranger.  Kay

Contemporary Cow from the Ft. Worth Stock Show

I just finished this painting yesterday in the studio.  John and I had gone over to the Ft. Worth Stock Show a few weeks ago, and I was taking a few pics when we were walking through the barns with long-time friend Scott Schwerer, from Blandinsville, Illinois.  He is a cattle guy....and we learned alot, saw alot and had fun that day.  I don't know what this cow's name really is, but John Wyne appropriately named her Cowgirl.  That works for me.  

Here are a few photos of Day #1:  when I drew the cow out on the canvas and started doing my rough sketching.  I started with a 20" x 20" canvas, and painted a base color of a Titan Buff so that I was not working on a stark white canvas.  Some artists draw with charcoal or pencil, but I skip that part and go straight for my brush and oils.  I don't have enough patience to go through a detailed drawing...all I want to do is paint my subject matter.  

Here I was putting in my darks, using dark violets and transparent reds and browns.  I also decided to put in the background color of an icey blue/grey, which is opaque and will make my subject matter pop on the canvas.  It will just be background, so I used a two inch flat brush and laid it in, not spending much time on it.

On Day #2: I was adding more layers of paint and putting in the darks again.  The eyes are not set in, just scrubbed in.  I have thick brush strokes of paint to indicate the beautiful fluffy coat.  The cattle at the Ft. Worth Stock show were well groomed and very handsome and I wanted the coat to look clean and fluffy.  I did not want any muddy colors on tthe canvas....

Yesterday, Day #3:  I was spending more time on the snout and eyes of this cow...and putting some mid-tones in since I usually loose them along the way.  As you can see, I had a reference photo and used it for the basics, but used my artistic license to make Cowgirl my own.  I darkened the nostrils up and put some whiskers and eye lashes on Cowgirl, and signed the painting!  Cowgirl is looking for a new home once she dries...contact Kay with any comments or questions on this painting.  

Thanks for looking at this blog.....Kay
