Contemporary Floral Landscape

Here's another painting in the colorful wildflower series that I am currently working on.  I pulled some colors that I normally don't use, and mixed several new combinations.  The canvas size is a change-up from my favorite format:  the square.  I have a beautiful silver frame to put on this painting...it will be ready for a new home soon!  Contact Kay Wyne for more information.  Thanks for looking....Kay

Sun Filled Day by Kay Wyne

Sun Filled Day

24" x 20" Oil on Canvas
This pic is for Beth, who is up in Colorado tackling this still life at Don Sahli's Art Studio. I can honestly say that it was a challenge, and because the still life is sitting in a window, I had to paint fast with the light changing constantly.  There were many stages that this painting went through, and here are a few:

 Drawing it out...getting the road map on the canvas.  Something that I need to spend more time doing...drawing.

As you can see my set-up, the light is coming through the window, hitting the still life....but it all changed so fast.  I had to paint it in at the same time everyday.

Here I am starting to fill in, drawing more and making more changes.

Starting to put some color on.  Getting the darkest darks in first.  I probably could of painted this on a larger canvas, but did not realize it until I was at this stage.  I wish that I had more fabric in my painting.    Looking back on this, I learned alot on this canvas. I enjoyed seeing others paint the same still life.

Thanks for looking at my blog....If you have any questions regarding my art, please email Kay Wyne.  Thanks, Kay

New Sunflower Painting by Niki Gulley

"Bathing in Sunshine II" ©2012 Niki Gulley

30" x 48" textured painting on wrap around canvas

Bathing in Sunshine was inspired by our trip to Provence, France last summer. Our timing was perfect and the sunflowers and lavender were in full bloom. While we came across many fields of lavender, we had to search a little harder for sunflowers. Of course that meant sampling more of the local cuisine and wines for much needed fuel as we looked! (My husband likes to say we have to suffer four our art.) When we eventually came across these sunflowers, I knew immediately they would make a perfect painting. Their bright, smiling faces as big as dinner plates, the sun dappled path leading you deep into the golden field to the quaint stone farmhouse in the distance on a beautiful summer day made for the ideal subject. The resulting painting is so full of color and texture, and my hope is that when you gaze into it, this piece immediately lifts your spirits and brightens up any spot in your home.

If you would like to see this sunflower painting and more of my textured landscape paintings, please stop by my booth at the Lincoln Park Art and Music Festival this weekend.
