Lake Grapevine Commission by Palette Knife Artist, Judy Mackey



"Capitan"
8" x  10", Oil on Cradled Board

This is the third commission for the same couple.  

The husband did call but he wanted a different painting of his sailboat - rather than "his sailboat" he wanted a painting of his son skippering the boat.  

Fast forward a month and I'm in my fixer house working on it when we decide to meet.  They wanted to see my house the work I've been doing on it so we agreed that they should come,  I set up the three paintings on a built-in niche in the house to display so that they can view the paintings.  At this point the husband only knows of the one painting and the wife only knows of one painting.  She does not know I did two paintings because I was going to have her choose which she'd like to give to him.

They arrive at my house, they come in, we exchange greetings, we talk about  my house and other gossip, I lead them to the room where the three paintings are displayed.

They both say the like the paintings.  And the husband turns to me and says, "are these other sailboat paintings for someone else - because I really like them and they look like my sailboat, the three would look great together, would I leave your inventory down if I said I wanted all three?"

This surprised me, of course and made the wife very happy as we spilled the beans that one or the other  were a belated Christmas gift to him from his wife.  And I was so happy that they wanted all three.  I loved the surprise on his face and the happiness in his wife's face for having surprised him.  

Happy, happy, joy, joy!

By the way, I've purposely spelled captain - capitan...it's the foreign spelling.  I just Googled "capitan" and the image of this painting pops up - how cool!

Polka-dot Roses Painting, Acrylic Abstract Floral Drip by Texas Artist Nancy Standlee

"Polka-dot Roses" 12061
36"x12"x2" acrylic mixed media on Ampersand Gessobord

I've been with about 20 other happy artists for a 4 day workshop in Granbury, TX at the LGAA with instructor artist, Carolyn Riegelman from Denton. The above painting is one of my favorites from several I finished at the workshop (some were starts from a previous workshop). My photography does not do this one justice as there is a lot of depth with the many layers of drips, splashes and graphic lines. The workshop title was "Acrylic/Texture Abstract" and we used some venetian plaster for our texture. I will post more photos and paintings from the workshop in the coming posts.

Peonies in our back yard have bloomed and I always love painting these each spring.  It is usually around Mother's Day that they are in full bloom, but this year they have blossomed early here in Missouri.  This a single flower on a small canvas painted with a palette knife capturing more of a gestural rendering than a realistic portrayal.  Painting could be hung as it is or further enhanced by framing it.  Next up I will post the vase and bouquet of these Peonies.  Hope you are enjoying the spring collection of floral paintings....thanks for reading!  Enjoy!

Cross My Heart



60" x 20" Oil on Linen Gallery Wrap

This size canvas is really cool.  It is very vertical, and if you have the right wall space, this canvas might work for you.  The paints were applied with a palette knife, so there is alot of texture on the linen.  I have purposely left the natural linen peaking through, giving the eye a rest.  Thanks for viewing this blog....kay@kwyne.com.

Lake Grapevine Commission by Judy Mackey





"Lake Grapevine"
8" x 8 ", Oil on canvas
Commission - SOLD

I haven't been taking my own advice.  Blog often and visit other's blogs and leave comments.

I bought a house last year which was not in the best of state.  It had good bones, i.e. no issues with foundation and the roof is fairly new.  I was going to re-sell it right away so I left it vacant for the past year.  At the beginning of this year, I realized keeping it vacant and not updating it was not helping it sell so I decided to fix it up and now I've decided to live in it.

Fixing a house to re-sell and fixing a house to live in is a little different.  There are things I've been doing to the house to make it more comfortable.  This has been eating up a chunk of my time and sadly I've put my blogging on hold.

It is a little hard to get back into the groove of blogging...it will be a challenge.

Heavily textured painting. Layer after layer of thick acrylic paint.

I photographed bits and pieces of this painting and put it into a slideshow, so you (dear viewer) can have a better feeling of the texture.
The final photograph from the painting will be finished tomorrow, after it dries completely.

Another thing about this painting, I think that you all have noticed that I have special feelings about mountains. I stood beneath the mountain,... more on SiLa Art blog

Blue Seas Abstract Seascape by California Janet Bludau


8" x 8"
Oil on Archival Panel
Panel Paintings are easy to frame in traditional frames or they look wonderful in a floater frame.
I have had collectors request a sawtooth hanger attached to the back so the panel may hang as is 
and they also do very well sitting on tabletop easels.  
Blue Seas was created primarily with a palette knife to achieve this look I like so much of thick paint
combined with the brush strokes.  I like the texture this creates.
 There is a faint orange horizon peeking through in several places.

Spring Mix





detail view with silver threads

This is another demo of the faux batik method I showed my Park Hill class last week.  I just love that Thai Metallic Thread Unryu paper.  The threads are very thin, so you don't notice them until you move by the painting and you see glints of light.
