40" x 30" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas
Contemporary Palette Knife Painting
Day #3 in the 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge

I loved working on this canvas...I mixed and mixed piles of juicy oils before I started, as I wanted to keep my colors toned down and in control.  I started with a light grey background, including the sides of the canvas.  Then I roughed in my design with a filbert before I started with the palette knife.  I have a companion canvas that you will see tomorrow, so both canvases can stand alone or it can hang as a diptych.  There are layers and layers of paint, along texture.  I haven't decided on a title yet...any suggestions would be appreciated!  Thanks for looking at my art.  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.

Untitled Wildflower Landscape by Kay Wyne

Untitled

8" x 16" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

Contemporary Palette Knife Painting

I am currently working on a new series of landscape paintings...it is a good time to explore and experiment with my paints.  Now I am in the studio for a long stretch of time, all day long with few interruptions.  I have 16 paintings started, all at different stages.  Most are landscapes---and one cow.  The cow is a challenge.  

This small wildflower landscape is completed.  The colors in the wildflowers are bouncing off of each other.  I must say that I did borrowed some paint from Sharon in the studio since she had piles of paint mixed up.  Huge piles of beautiful paint...so much paint that the dogs got into the paint today!  Thanks for looking at this blog and the art posted here.  Contact Kay for more information.  This painting does not require a frame since it is on a thick gallery wrap canvas.  KMW

Peaceful by Kay Wyne

Peaceful

Contemporary Landscape Painting

12" x 16" Oil on Canvas

This painting went through some difficult stages before I decided it was complete.  Actually, the canvas was larger, and I cut the canvas down after I had finished painting.  I normally don't do that, but I felt that the composition worked better without so much canvas.  I believe it was originally an 18" x 18".  I used a palette knife all the way on this one...there is texture and depth in the landscape.  The skies are soft and whispy.

This painting is back from the framers and is ready to hang...

Contact Kay for purchasing information on this painting.  Thanks for looking...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
