White Rock Lake Boats by Kay Wyne

White Rock Lake Boats

16" x 20" Oil on RayMar Cotton Panel

This painting is the first in a series of landscapes.  I am starting the Leslie Saeta 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge and it begins on September 1st!  I decided to paint landscapes so that I would have a theme and I have some wonderful places to go and paint in Dallas.  I used lots of juicy oils in this painting, and wanted it to be loose and colorful.  More tomorrow....join me and about 300 other artists painting for Leslie's challenge...it is fun and helps you paint everyday.  Thanks for viewing....KMW

Dancing on Water oil painting by Niki Gulley

"Dancing on Water" ©2011 Niki Gulley

36” x 60” oil painting

Sunlight sparkles across aqua blue water,

diamonds of purple glitter the pond’s surface;

water lilies lift their faces toward the sun and gently dance across the water.

Golden sunlight filters through the brambles and ferns,

a touch of cardinal red peeks through purple and pink foliage

while azure skies reflect in the water.

A view you will want to enjoy everyday, "Dancing on Water" is a 36" by 60" textured oil on canvas.

To see "Dancing on Water" and more of my textured palette knife oil paintings in person, stop by my booth at Art in the Square in Southlake, Texas, April 15-17. Visit artinthesquare.com/default.aspx for details.
