Deliberate Distraction by Kay Wyne

Deliberate Distraction

18" x 24" Oil on Canvas

Contemporary Abstract Painting

Day #17 with the 30 Paintings in 30 Day Paint Challenge

There are many directions this painting could of taken,

but yesterday's final session with it took on more color,

more organic shapes.  When I began this painting months

ago, I was painting a herd of horses, which you can see.  

I got into some nuetrals and earth tones, then in the last 

few days put some loopy colorful lines overlapping and

pulling the piece together.  I thought that the color 

punched it up.  The last two days I have been

pulled away from my easel, therefore the title, Deliberate

Distraction.  Thanks for looking at this blog and

the art posted here.  You can email me for more

information on this painting.  Thanks, Kay

Cock A Doodle Blue by Kay Wyne

Cock A Doodle Blue

36" x 36" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

Roosters, roosters and more roosters....this is my latest contemporary oil painting.  I started with an idea, and blocked off the background using neutral grays.  Then in a very loose way brushed in my roosters.  I used raw umber to draw in the shapes --- using a filbert brush.  I wanted an abstract but somewhat decorative look for the background.  So I started to add some swirly feather-like shapes to add to the gray.  The got out my trusty t-sqauare to add some straight lines.  I did not want to over-paint, so I forced myself to walk away from the painting at several stages of the painting.  Contact me if you are interested in this painting....kay@kwyne.com.

Season of Color by Kay Wyne

Season of Color

18" x 18" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

This contemporary abstract painting is fresh off my easel. I started with river, trees and then added some angles and lines....keeping the colors fresh. I used a two inch wide flat brush. I enjoyed this painting so much...just letting the colors work off each other. It was hard not to use my palette knife, but the flat brush allowed me to make sharp edges and crisp lines. Thanks for viewing my art....stay cool....Kay at 214-532-0325 or kay@kwyne.com

Fifteen Minute Flip Flops by Kay Wyne

Quick Fifteen Minute Painting
Beachy Flip Flops
I have been finishing up two commission pieces at the studio, and had some paint leftover on my palette...I needed to paint something loose and colorful. So here you go...Beachy Flip Flops...this oil is on a 12" x 12" gessoed masonite. I used a wide flat brush and cut loose with the colors. No detail on this one. When you are working on a piece that requires FC (the dreaded Forced Creativity) it helps to jump on a canvas that you don't have to think about, stew about, or push yourself into FC. I will not post three of my commissions until after Christmas since they are gifts for some. Thanks for viewing this blog...Kay

Coop by Kay Wyne

Coop

Coop Tour: Do you know what a Coop Tour is?
(From Webster’s Dictionary)
Coop: 1 : a cage or small enclosure (as for poultry); also : a small building for housing poultry Tour: 1 a : one's turn in an orderly schedule

Several weekends ago, John Wyne and I did the Dallas Coop Tour on a Sunday afternoon….all over Dallas, Texas. We went on a Coop Tour. Basically, it was a tour around the neighborhood, viewing the chicken coops. Actually, it was very interesting…it took us four hours (with map in hand) to hit eleven coops inside the Dallas city limits. Not out in the country! I got lots of pics of roosters, chickens, and even a turkey. Lots of great painting material!

Coop is the name of this feathered friend….this painting did not have a name until yesterday, when Pam Massar at The Dutch Art Gallery named him….for the Coop Tour. This contemporary oil painting is on a 30” x 30” canvas. I used lots of oil paint on him…I hope to be posting some more paintings from our little tour. I hope that you have a great day!

The Inside Track by Kay Wyne

The Inside Track
Oil on Canvas
24" x 30"
I finished this painting. Normally I paint odd numbers of objects or subject matter in my paintings, but four horses seemed to work for me on this canvas. I did have some horses in the background at one time, but decided to blurr the background completely. Initially I had the starting stalls in the background with roof and sky painted in, but I changed my plans. The horse with the green blinker on the inside track is in the lead. This painting conveys the energy, excitement, and competitiveness of the horse race. This painting will be for sale once it dries and placed up at The Dutch Art Gallery in Dallas, Texas. Thanks for viewing this blog. Please contact me if you are interested in this painting that is fresh off the easel!

Celebration by Kay Wyne

Celebration
36" x 36" Oil on Canvas

This contemporary abstract painting is hanging at the Dutch Art Gallery in Dallas. It was painted last year and because of the colors and movement in this painting, I named it Celebration. It is appropriate for me to re-post this painting...The Wyne family has been celebrating lately with the engagement of our daughter, Lindsay to Wesley. My painting time has taken a backseat to the engagement, engagement party and wedding plans. But, I hope to get back into the studio today. I have gotten re-charged and very inspired after taking a little trip to Ft. Worth to visit the Kimbell Art Museum yesterday. I hope to have some new paintings to post soon! Thanks for visiting this blog. Please contact Dutch Art Gallery or myself if you are interested in purchasing this painting. kay@wyne.com or 214-532-0325.

Koi at Dallas Arboretum by Kay Wyne

Arboretum Koi
Oil on 18" x 18" Gallery Wrap Canvas
This painting is probably going to be at the Arboretum Garden Gallery. It was my second koi painting, and I was very nervous about the green. Since I tend to "over-paint" on green, I was very careful not to get green paint on the fish. The water at the Koi Pond in the Arboretum was very green, even though my eye wanted to paint blue.
