Day # 11 in Leslie Saeta's 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge

True confessions:  I did not paint this painting this week for the Paint Challenge.....I came up short today for a new painting because the heat went out in the studio.  It was just too darn cold to get creative and sling paint.  So, I am pulling this colorful painting out and posting.  I wanted the canvas to be bold, colorful and full of energy.  This painting is hanging at the studio, and is for sale.  Contact Kay with any questions or comments.  Thanks for looking at this blog, and stay warm!  It's cold in Dallas!  Kay

Vying For Position by Kay Wyne

Vying For Position

11" x 14" Oil on Linen

Contemporary Equine Painting

This painting is completed after starting it months ago, and putting it aside when I got frustrated with the painting surface.  I used a fine linen, and it didn't have enough tooth or texture.  So I put it away and decided to pull it out earlier this month.  I have been working on cleaning up my work station at the studio, and pulled several painting out that are needing some attention.  Even though this is on a small canvas, I wanted to keep the brush strokes loose, colorful and energetic.  Today is day 25 in the 30 Painting in 30 Days Challenge.  Thanks for looking at this blog...if you have any questions or comments, contact Kay.  KMW

These horses are running free, I'd like to join them and forget all the responsibilities in life.

I have not blogged in weeks. I have been painting all summer but with teaching art classes and  summer camps everyday, moving kids to and from college, to out of state summer jobs, moving kids to their own houses, setting up and  teaching fall classes, plus the horses, cats, dogs, yard work, house work, this list is endless, I flake out before I take the photos to blog.  Of course then you have to crop and upload.  It seems there is always one more thing to do.  Oh, rearrange and paint after the kids move out.  The list just goes on. I know that we are all too busy these days and need to take time for the important things in life. I did this summer, but now that the kids are off,  I am turning over a new leaf, making time for photos and blogging.  Of course my kids are laughing because I am always turning over a new leaf, it usually relates to losing weight or working out; I just finished a bowl of ice cream.  Hopefully I will do better at blogging than dieting. At least I have made the time to paint, that's the passion. Take time to enjoy your loved ones.

"Black Beauty" charcoal by Texas fine artist Linda Bein

"Black Beauty"

charcoal

12"x18"

This was a class demo using charcoal that I didn't post.  Hard for some of my students to visualize in just one color while looking at a real life photo.  Just a little exercise of seeing the value in one color.  I have used this photograph for several demonstrations; I need to get out and take some new photos but it is too hot!!  Soon my fall classes will resume and we will start with drawing and shading and move on to monochromatic watercolor paintings.  I usually save the charcoal for the end but I think we will start with the charcoal instead of pencil, even though I will probably have to wash the walls when we are done.
