Colors of Summer by Kay Wyne

Colors of Summer

10" x 10" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

Contemporary Floral Landscape

This small painting is drying in the studio...I was in the mood to paint a floral landscape.  I started with a black acrylic base coat.  Then sketched in my map for the painting with a filbert.  Once I let that layer of paint dry, I pulled out a #10 bright and started layering the juicy oils.  The flowers in the foreground are bold and colorful, and the eye wanders through the grassy field.  This painting is for sale.  Contact Kay for purchasing information.  Thanks for viewing....Happy Father's Day to my Dad, Charlie Miller and to Blake and Wes...it's their first Father's Day!  KMW

Joyful Day by Kay Wyne

Joyful Day

Contemporary Floral Landscape

60" x 36" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

Contact Kay Wyne for more info on this painting!

I love to paint on a large surface.  It is liberating to make big wide brushstrokes with a brush or apply loads of paint with a palette knife.  A 60" x 36" canvas is fun, challenging and my image/subject matter is always changing....as you can see below I did stop and take some pics along my painting journey.  

First, I had an idea in my head and thought that I would sketch it out with charcoal on the canvas.  Then I scrubbed in some colors.  And more colors.  Finally getting the white canvas covered up. 

I wanted my color palette to be in cool lavenders and greys....and some greens.  I got off-track as you can see in the fifth photo.  I cut loose with some oranges, reds, and blues.  The next day when I came into the studio, I realized that I had gotten de-railed.  So I spent more than two hours mixing wonderful purples. magentas, greens, and greys to bring the colors back to my original plan.  Of course I used huge amounts of oils and there is texture and depth to this painting.  

This painting is drying at the studio, and tomorrow is day #1 in Leslie Saeta's 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge.  Check out Leslie's blog...It's always fun to see what everyone is posting on a daily basis.  Thanks for looking at my blog....Have an artful day.  Kay Wyne

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

Lost by Kay Wyne

Lost

12" x 16" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

Contemporary Palette Knife Painting

Floral Landscape

I named this painting "Lost" because I was totally lost in it with my palette knife.  Lost in a good way, just letting my mixing skills kick in, and allowing  the painting to happen.  The colors are harmonious because I mixed my piles of luscious oils as I worked through the canvas.  My palette was covered with greens, lavenders, greys and corals.  This landscape painting couldn't get much more abstract, as I was focused on the colors and how they looked in relationship to each other.  There is plenty of texture and paint built up on the canvas, creating more interest for the viewer.  This painting is drying at the studio.  Contact ME with any comments or questions.  Thanks for looking....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

My Kind of Day by Kay Wyne

My Kind Of Day

8" x 8" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

Contemporary Landscape Painting

This is small landscape painting was painted with a flat brush and with thick oils.  The painting has depth, and you can follow the path into the field, back to the horizon.  I want the viewer to feel as if he or she is looking out into the spacious landscape, looking at the beautiful vista.  

Here is a pic of the painting hanging, with the edges of the gallery wrap canvas...small parts of the black background peek through.  Framing is not necessary...once I varnish this piece it will be ready to hang!  Contact Kay for more info.  Thanks for looking!  Kay

Impulsive by Kay Wyne

Impulsive

18" x 18" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

Contemporary Floral Landscape

Color, texture, and movement are found in this contemporary palette knife painting.  I used brushes, palette knives and a sculpting tool to achieve this abstract look.  I actually started with a painting underneath...one that I wasn't happy with.  So when scraping through the top layer of oils the colors from the first painting show through.  This painting is hanging at Dutch Art Gallery in Dallas, Texas.  Thanks for looking at this blog....Kay

course it was colorful and had lots of texture.  Pam Massar, 

owner at the gallery framed it up and it looked handsome.  I am glad

Blue Skies Above by Kay Wyne

Blue Skies Above
24" x 36" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas
Contemporary Landscape Painting

Blue Skies Above is a very painterly painting.  I used broad sweeping brush strokes on the sky to give it movement and depth.  I didn't skimp on the application of paint, as there is texture built up on the canvas.  The clouds fade into the horizon.  This painting is part of a current exhibit at Dutch Art Gallery in Dallas, Texas.  Contact ME or Pam at the the gallery for purchasing information.  Thanks for looking at this blog...Kay

Drifting by Kay Wyne

Drifting

12"x 12" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

Contemporary Floral Landscape

Today is day 4 of the 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge

I have been working on a series of floral landscape paintings for the gallery in Santa Fe.  I have explored different size canvases, different color palettes, and different techniques.  Here I used the palette knife to get thicker, more textured flowers in the foreground.  The clouds and horizon have softer brush strokes.  The path fades away into the background....allowing the viewer to drift through the field.  Contact Kay for more information on this piece.
