Twister by Kay Wyne


Twister
40" x 30" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas
Contemporary Abstract
I was thinking of all the severe weather we are having in Texas when I named this contemporary abstract.  The current weather situation of flooding and high winds have left a path of destruction.  On my canvas, the eye of the storm on the canvas is swirling, as if I am looking at a tornado from an aerial view.  The muddy greys and violets are mixed in with the olive greens...it's not my usual color palette.  You can see the wide swipes or strokes that I took with the palette knife, leaving some texture on the canvas.  This painting is drying in the studio...Contact ME for more information on this painting.  Thanks for looking at this blog....Kay

Country Road, Contemporary Landscape Paintings by Arizona Artist Amy Whitehouse


8" x 10" Acrylic, $195

This little painting was inspired by James Taylor's "Country Road,"
perhaps my very favorite of his songs.
(I'm a huge fan, I'm not afraid to admit it.)

One of my after-school painting classes was doing landscapes with
palette knives last week, and I wanted to try one, too.
Though the entire painting wasn't painted with a palette knife, 
most of it was, as that was the assignment.

BTW my favorite rendition is from James Taylor's LIVE album.
That two-disc album is somehow not worn out;
must've listened to it hundreds of times.

If interested please contact me

Impulsive by Kay Wyne


Impulslive
18" x 18" Oil on Heavy Duty Gallery Wrap Canvas
Contemporary Floral Landscape Painting

This painting was a total re-do for me.  I had an abstract
on the canvas, was totally not liking it.  So I switched 
gears and decided it would be a floral landscape...rather
abstract, with thick, thick paint.  I put it on the studio wall
immediately because I did not want to bump into the wet
paint.  I was very impulsive on this painting, and pulled
out some tools---no brushes.  I used a couple of palette
knives, some wipe-off instruments that are great for
scraping and drawing through the paint.  Thanks for
looking at this blog.  Contact Kay for purchasing info.

                          Sally Fraser

Landscape oil on 14x11 board     14x11x1    $275. sale price.

This oil cityscape was painted from a photo I took while driving down Congress Ave in Austin,Texas one foggy morning. Would make a fine Christmas gift for that special person who loves Austin.
A palette knife painting to get the architectural feeling of the buildings gives the oil painting its texture.

Wings: Painting #10 of 100 by Kay Wyne

Wings: Painting #10
100 Paintings in 100 Days, $100 each.
8" x 8" Oil on RayMar Cotton Panel
by Texas Artist Kay Wyne
Thick paint on this small panel gives the contemporary painting lots of texture. I blended the colors on the panel as I applied the paint with the palette knife. No brushes on this painting. I now have a new favorite knife....it is a number 24, and gives me crisp edges, and can get into small spaces on the canvas. Thanks for viewing this blog and the art posted here. Have a great day.
