Missed The Boat

12" x 12" Oil on RayMar Cotton Panel

Contemporary Palette Knife Painting

This colorful dinghy was aching to be painted when John and I came across it in a small fishing village in Maine.  It had lots of character, and was tied up to the rocky shoreline.  This small piece is framed in a dark mahogany frame, and is ready to find a new home.  Contact Kay for more info.  Thanks, KMW

12" x 12" Oil on RayMar Cotton Panel

Contemporary Palette Knife Painting

An old dinghy tied up to a dock caught my eye when we were in a small fishing village in Maine.  I loved the old and weathered metal on the boat.  It was rusty and rough.  The water skimmed over the rocks leading up to the shore.  I used a palette knife to give the rocks and dinghy texture and depth.  This painting looks great framed up in a dark wood moulding.  Contact Kay for more information on this painting.  Thanks for looking...Kay

12" x 12" Oil on RayMar Cotton Panel

Contemporary Palette Knife Painting

Inspired by a dinghy tied up in a small fishing village in Maine, I painted this small 12" x 12" panel with a palette knife and a flat brush.  The rocks at the shore have texture, as I used the knife to apply the thick oils.  Looking through my photographs from this trip to Maine, I would like to do a series of boat paintings...Thanks for looking at this blog and the art posted.  This painting is hanging at the studio.  Contact Kay for more information on this painting.  KMW

Three Is A Crowd by Kay Wyne

Three Is A Crowd

18" x 24" Oil on Canvas

Contemporary Oil Painting

I was in the mood for boats...and a #12 Filbert.  So I got my paints out and started sketching with the paint.  Here is a pic when I was laying the shapes out.  I had a photograph from last year's trip to Maine that I used for reference.

And then I started pushing the paint around.  I did not use any medium, so the paint is very thick.  The best part is that I painted pretty fast...I was able to work this painting in one session.

I kept layering the paint on.  I don't know why, but after I finished this painting, I immediately started a commission....another boat painting!  I can't post my progress on that one because it is a gift for someone, and I will have to wait until it is finished and shipped to Chicago.  Thanks for looking at my blog and the art posted here.  Contact me if you are interested in this painting....kay@kwyne.com.  Have a good day.....Kay

Contemporary Oil Painting

I loved painting this one, especially since I was able to get the palette knife out and create some texture on the rocks and water.  This dinghy was tied up in a small fishing town in along the rocky coast of Maine.  On a recent trip there, John and I found lots of beautiful seaside towns that will give me inspiration for more paintings.  I was in the studio all day yesterday, and painted some boats from start to finish.  I hope to photograph today and post on tomorrow's blog.  Thanks for looking at the art posted here.  Stay cool.  kay@kwyne.com  ---   Kay

This painting is hanging at Dutch Art Gallery in Dallas.  My inspiration for this dinghy painting was a photograph that I took while in Maine last fall.  I liked the rust, color, texture and aging on the surface of the dinghy, and the fact that it was pulled up on the rocks of the shore.  Thanks for looking at the art posted here....have a great day and stay cool.  Kay-I can be contacted at kay@kwyne.com or 214-532-0325.

#28 for the 30-30 Challenge

I got into the studio yesterday and pulled out a 12" x 12" panel and a couple of palette knives to paint this dingy.  I found this dinghy washed up on the shore in Maine last fall, and thought it had so much character...it was aged with rust and I loved the rocks in the water.  Only two more days of painting for the Painting Challenge....you might want to visit Slices of Life by Leslie Saeta blog to see all of the paintings.  Thanks for looking at this blog....I will be in the studio working on #29 today!

This painting is sitting on my easel drying.  My inspiration for this painting was an old dinghy located on the rocky shores of Scarborough, Maine.  The boat was at a fishing wharf, and I loved the rust, moss and weathered look of the dinghy.  The air smelled old and fishy.  The landscape was beautiful, the dinghy was a sharp contrast to it's surroundings.  It was Just Waiting for an adventure out on the water.  Thanks for viewing....kay@kwyne.com
