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

20" x 20" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

Contemporary Cow

This painting is currently hanging in the studio...I need to varnish it, and then it will be ready to go to a gallery.  Cowgirl has beautiful coloring, and a soft, pink snout that you want to reach out and touch.  She is looking directly at you, as if she has something on her mind.  Cowgirl was at the Ft. Worth Livestock Show last month.  I have some great reference photos, so there are more cows coming!  Thanks for looking at this blog.  Contact Kay for more information on this painting or any of the art posted.  Have a great day....Kay

Cowgirl by Kay Wyne

  

Cowgirl

20" x 20" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

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

Joshua Cow, Contemporary Cow Painting by Sheri Jones

Joshua Cow
12x12 oil on canvas

When I travel to my Dad's house in Joshua I drive by fields of cows. This guy caught my eye and posed  while I took his photo.   I loved his fly away hair and laid back personality. It  was fun to capture on canvas. This is available for purchase. $250.00

Where's the Beef?

Here's yesterday's work, a half sheet (22x15) watercolor painted on handmade rough paper. I edited out the other cows that were behind her, hence the title. When dry, black India ink was used in small amounts to enhance overall effect of a dusty, grassy outdoors.

Contemporary Cow by Kay Wyne

Contemporary Cow

12" x 9" Oil on RayMar Panel
A photograph of some cows on a farm in southern Texas was my inspiration for this painting.  I thought he looked like he was talking to me with his mouth open the way it was.  He had big ears, maybe he had not grown into them yet.  I like the way he was standing and looking at me.  If you are interested in purchasing this painting, please contact me at kay@kwyne.com.  Thanks for looking!  Kay
