Colors of Seabrook by Kay Wyne

Colors of Seabrook

6" x 6" Oil on RayMar Cotton Panel

Contemporary Landscape/Palette Knife Painting

I am working on some seascape/beach/boating paintings in the studio, and with the cold winter weather, I am wishing I was at Seabrook Island---sitting on the beach.  This small plein air painting was all about getting the colors of the beach day.  Part of painting is getting the feeling or the mood of the day on the canvas.  It was a clear, warm day at the beach, and I can remember it well, especially on this cold January day.  I have several beach scenes that are available for purchase.  Contact ME for more info.  Thanks, KMW

Blue Skies Above by Kay Wyne

Blue Skies Above

24" x 36" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

Contemporary Landscape Painting

Blue Skies Above is now one of my favorite paintings in the studio.  I reworked this painting several times, and I worked on the color changes.  The sky is very thick with layers of oil applied with the palette knife and wide brush.  The greens and grey lavenders are earthy.  The sky and horizon line fade in the distance.  Your eye can follow the road as it wanders through the painting.  This painting would look great in a frame, although it can be hung without.  Contact Kay for more info.  Thanks for looking....Kay

Springtime Colors by Kay Wyne

Springtime Colors

22" x 28" Oil on Canvas

Contemporary Palette Knife Painting

This contemporary floral landscape is completed and signed!  The thick layers of paint will take a long time to dry...so it will be sitting in the studio for now.  I am going to frame it up in a dark wood moulding, so that the colors will pop!  The field of poppies flows into the background of the field...fading away into the horizon line.

This is a close-up shot of the knife work.  I did not use a brush, only a knife to apply the oils.    Thanks for looking at this blog and the art posted here.  Contact Kay for info on this painting.  Thanks, Kay

Wandering Through by Kay Wyne

Wandering Through

48" x 60" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

Contemporary Palette Knife Painting

This painting is drying at the studio...a contemporary floral landscape bursting with color and texture.  I have been working on this canvas for days...with layers and layers of paint.  The scene is a wide view of wildflowers wandering through the landscape.  The sky is heavy with paint and texture.  Because this painting is on thick stretcher bars/gallery wrap canvas, framing is optional.  This is a great size canvas to hang above a sofa or fireplace.  Contact Kay for more information on this painting.  Thanks for looking at this blog.  Kay

Oil on Heavy Duty Gallery Wrap Canvas

36" x 36"

This painting has taken weeks to complete. It started out as a landscape with intentions of a mountain range and aspen trees. I stopped at one point and decided I wanted a field of wildflowers. Then after painting all of the wildflowers with thick impasto and the palette knife, I scrapped it all off. I really went through the paint, but the end result is something different than I normally paint---with the texture of the canvas coming through and blended colors. and very few hard edges. It is currently drying at the studio. Thanks for viewing my art. KMW at kay@kwyne.com or 214-532-0325.

Tulip Reflections by Kay Wyne

Tulip Reflections

Original Oil on Linen Gallery Wrap

24" x 18" Palette Knife Painting

This painting has large chunks of color on the linen. I blocked in the paint with my palette knife, giving the tulips a very distorted look. The light was bright at the Arboretum when I took a photograph of a beautiful field of tulips. I zoned in on the colors and shapes, painting only what I saw....not what I thought I saw. Thanks for looking at this blog....have a great day. Kay at 214-532-0325 or kay@kwyne.com.
