Big Sky by Kay Wyne

Big Sky

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

Contemporary Landscape

Day #5 in the 30 Paintings in 30 Days

I just finished this painting yesterday in the studio...I was inspired to paint a very simple and peaceful landscape, which is a change-up from my normal palette knife/landscape paintings.  I like layering paint to get puffy clouds that are moving across the big sky.  This painting is drying at the studio!  Be sure to check out all of the neat paintings in the 30/30 Paint Challenge.  Thanks for viewing...EMAIL ME with any comments or questions.....thanks, Kay

Just sold - "Stop!" palette knife oil painting by Niki Gulley

“Stop!” ©2013 Niki Gulley

Just SOLD • 16" x 20” textured oil painting on wrap around canvas

While driving from Santa Fe to Taos, this scene literally stopped me in my tracks. Something about that giant rocky mound rising up from the surrounding flat expanse contrasted against the complimentary colored sky was so graphic and surreal. Add to that the bizarre juxtaposition of the stop sign encroaching on what once was uninhabited desert landscape, and I felt like this painting had something to say.
