Cupcake by Kay Wyne

Cupcake

4" x 4" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

This is the smallest painting that I have painted to date. For someone who loves big broad brushstrokes and loose painting, this was a small challenge for me. This cute little whimsical painting would be a great birthday gift! It is fun and colorful. Contact me if you are interested in purchasing this painting. It is ready to hang or sit on shelf. Thanks for viewing this blog!

Shadows on the Wall ~ An Abstract Figurative Painting by Nancy Standlee

"Shadows on the Wall"

18 x 18"
Acrylic on Canvas, 3/4" profile

I worked on this today while painting with Canvas by Canvas at our rented studio space while taking a break and in between working on a large zebra painting for a collaboration. After I look at the above painting with fresh eyes tomorrow, it may not look like this again.
It was nice to get back to painting today as for the past 3 days and evenings, I've been updating my web site. It had been neglected for updates for a year and was getting stale. I've added some new work so you've invited to take a look.

Horizon Series: Abstract 23 by Kay Wyne

Horizon Series: Abstract 23

Oil on 18" x 18" Gallery Wrap Canvas

This colorful abstract is another one of my Horizon Series. The layers of of paint have been applied with the palette knife, and I did use the brush and oil pastel stick for some variation in this painting. The sides of the canvas are also painted, so this canvas does not need a frame. It is ready to hang! If you are interested in this painting, please contact me. http://kwyne.com/myblogs.html

Horizon Series: Abstract 7 by Kay Wyne

Horizon Series: Abstract 7

This painting has changed dramatically since I started painting on the canvas. I had originally thought the 18" x 18" gallery wrap canvas was great for a longhorn. I was struggling with it, after I painted on it for several days. I did have a good start, but composition did not work for me. Instead of throwing the canvas out, I started over. With lots of thick paint. I like the intense color on the very dark blue/black background. I like the way the colors pop out and have some presence in this painting. The horizon line pulls the eye up to the focal point. I hope you enjoy this abstract painting...I certainly enjoyed painting it after the longhorn went away.

Yellow Rose, Red Boot Acrylic Painting by Nancy Standlee

"Yellow Rose, Red Boot"

To read more about the post go to Nancy Standlee Art Blog.
I used it for a square in one of the CBC Art paintings.

This was painted in a class taught my Margie Whittington, one of the Canvas by Canvas members. It is my boot and yellow rose in the set up - a reminder of some great times while wearing red cowboy boots or if you prefer - cowgirl boots.
In Texas a lot of new daddies and granddaddies can't wait to buy that precious newborn that first pair of boots. Another group - some senior members enjoy them also.
I'm trying to paint a little "looser" these days going somewhere between abstraction and representation and wear my foot gear the same way. But a good pair of sensible shoes in no way can compare to the coolness of a pair of red cowboy boots with a Texas yellow rose decorating them or stuck inside.
