Thank you to Bill Hester for selling this contemporary floral landscape painting.  The thick layers of paint created texture on the canvas.  The field of poppies flows into the background of the field...fading away into the horizon line.  I am thrilled that this painting has a new home!  Thanks, Bill.  

Afternoon Delight by Kay Wyne

Afternoon Delight

12" x 12" Oil on RayMar Cotton Panel

Contemporary Floral Landscape

I was back in the studio yesterday, and got my palette knife out and created this painting.  The paint is layered on the panel, giving it texture and depth.  I moved the paint around quite a bit once it was on the panel.  The horizon line was changed numerous times...I wanted it to fade into the background, and needed to mix my oils over and over to get a hazy far-away look. I hope the viewer will feel good looking at this painting, as if he/she is standing in the field on a beautiful, delightful afternoon.  Thanks for looking at this painting.....contact Kay for more info on this painting.  KMW

Just Because by Kay Wyne

Just Because

36" x 36" Oil on Heavy Duty Gallery Wrap Canvas

Contemporary Floral Palette Knife Painting

My inspiration for this painting was a beautiful arrangement that son in-law Wes gave to daughter Lindsay. I asked what the occasion was......."just because" was the answer that I got. I used thick strokes with the palette knife.

Here is a close-up of the painting....the paint is built up on the canvas. Contact Pam Massar at The Dutch Art Gallery Dallas TX if you are interested in purchasing.  Thanks for viewing this art blog.  Have a good day...Kay

Oh Happy Day! by Kay Wyne

Oh Happy Day!

Contemporary Palette Knife Painting

Floral Still Life

18" x 36" Oil on Heavy Duty Gallery Wrap Canvas

I can honestly say that this painting was painted from the heart.  It wasn't hard to paint.  It didn't take long.  It just came out of me.  And it makes me smile,  just as our family news on Sunday.  I wanted to paint something beautiful and lasting....so I went through my reference photos decided on a still life, and picked out a limited color palette of grays, greens and violets.  And just let it go.  The paint is applied with the knife and is really thick and textured.  This painting is drying at the studio.  Contact Kay Wyne for information on this painting.  Thanks for looking at this blog.

Enchanting by Kay Wyne

Enchanting

36" x 36" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

Contemporary Floral Landscape Painting

Enchanting is one of those paintings that went through many stages.  I used a large, heavy duty gallery wrap canvas, therefore the sides of the canvas (about 2 1/2") are also painted.  In my mind, I separated the painting in three parts:  sky/background, mid-ground, and foreground.  All three areas of the canvas had to be different sizes...I didn't want three equal parts.  I wanted the horizon to melt into the sky and recede.  The mid-ground needed to have someone color, but not as much as the foreground.  I used the palette knife and impasto on the florals to create texture and interest.  This painting is hanging at Dutch Art Gallery in Dallas, TX.  Thanks for looking at this blog...Kay

This painting was a commission for a collector in Dallas, and it was a Christmas gift to his wife.  It was fun working with this collector, as he had a certain color palette, and look that he wanted me to achieve on canvas, using both the brush and palette knife.  This is day one of the Leslie Saeta's 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge.  Here we go again!  Be sure to check out all of the art posted on Leslie's blog.  Happy New Year!  Kay

This painting has a new home!  This is one of my Wildflower Landscapes that I painted in 2014.  I worked on a series of them, and have explored many possibilities with this subject matter.  I am starting next year out with a paint challenge, and hoping to have a creative and productive 2015.  I think I will paint whatever I feel like painting...with Roosters and Cows at the top of my list.  I hope you all have a safe and fun New Years Eve!  Kay

Colors Of My World by Kay Wyne

Colors Of My World

8" x 16" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

Contemporary Palette Knife Painting

This small landscape painting is colorful and has a dreamy look to it.  I think that the viewer can put his or her imagination to work when looking at this one.  The color palette is beautiful...with so many colors and the cad reds and oranges bounce off the greens and turqoise.  This painting does not require a frame since it is on a gallery wrap canvas.  Contact Kay for more information on this colorful little painting...thanks for looking.  Kay

Golden Fields by Kay Wyne

Golden Fields

8" x 16" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

Contemporary Palette Knife Painting

I got my palette knife out for this painting...I used thick, juicy globs of oils...so it will take some time for it to dry.  I wanted to paint a landscape that would take the eye from the foreground to the horizon.  The wildflowers are put in with very little detail...just shapes, color and texture.  This painting is drying in the studio right now, but will be shipped to a gallery once it is dry.  Thanks for looking at the art posted here.  Contact Kay if you have any questions or comments.  Thank you...Kay
