Bye, Bye Birdie by Kay Wyne

Bye, Bye, Birdie

8" x 8" Oil on RayMar Cotton Panel

Contemporary Abstract Palette Knife Painting

Yesterday I was playing around with some left-over paints and I wanted use my favorite palette knife (#24).  I had plenty of hot pinks, reds, cad orange, and cad yellow to start with.  There are three shades of Gamblin's Portland Greys....light, medium and dark....so had those to mix with some blues and violets for the birds.  I used some impasto for the thick applications so that it would dry faster.  This little 8" x 8" is my first birdie palette knife painting.  It was fun!  I had a great day yesterday, selling two paintings.  Contact ME for purchasing information.  This little panel would look great propped up on an easel.  This is day #8 of the 30 paintings in 30 days challenge.  Thanks, Kay

Scarlet Admirer is the newest daily painting in Flower Mound Studio, and the fresh peonies have decided to stay with me a few more days. I wanted to create something a bit whimsical and festive for the holidays, and the cardinals in our yard this morning inspired this new work. These are those last few days with the Christmas tree still up, the decorations still on the shelves, and the white poinsettias still in the kitchen nook. I am always just a little sad when it's time to put away these holiday mementos. Christmas always ends too soon.

Sunny Delight is a painting of an oriole contemplating a juicy treat in a New England back yard. Upon close inspection of this amazingly colored fellow, you can find a tiny heart-shaped mark in a strategic location on his feathery breast. I promise this is not a fanciful add-on by the artist, but instead is an inspired addition by the greatest artist of all, Mother Nature.
