Persuasion by Kay Wyne

Persuasion II

24" x 48" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

Contemporary Palette Knife Painting
Here are the two canvases together:

Persuasion I & Persuasion II

Diptych 48" x 48" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

Using a palette knife to apply the layers of oil paints, this abstract was created with color and movement in mind.  The shapes of color overlap each other, and the oils blended into each other.  Greys, violets, magenta, pinks, corals, greens, and tangerine are the colors in this contemporary abstract.  The colors float across the canvas.  The paintings can be hung separately, or as a diptych.  Contact Kay Wyne for purchasing information.  Thanks, KMW

Quiet Time by Kay Wyne

Quiet Time

8" x 8" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

Contemporary Abstract Painting

Using a brush and palette knife to move the paint around, this small abstract is painted on a gallery wrap canvas.  I started with greys, blues, soft greens and a fleshy-orange color.  The palette knife helped me scrape the canvas several times.  The caribbean blue and rose pinks were added to give it some pop and interest.  The sides of the canvas are painted in the grey-blue background color, and signed on the side.  This painting is drying in the studio, and is for purchase.  Contact Kay Wyne for more information on this abstract painting.  Thanks for looking....Kay

Flutter by Kay Wyne

Flutter

24" x 24" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

Contemporary Palette Knife Painting

Thanks to friend Mark Malone, I was able to paint from a beautiful photograph that he had taken of a red dragonfly.  I thought it was a neat shot with vivid colors.  This abstract painting has lots of texture...I used heavy impasto to build up the oils.  The sides of the canvas are painted, so it is ready to hang.  Contact Kay Wyne for purchasing info.  It is hanging at the studio and would love to have a new home!  Thanks for looking...Kay

Color of Summer by Kay Wyne

Color of Summer

10" x 20" Oil on RayMar Cotton Panel

Contemporary Landscape Painting

Pushing, pulling, scraping and laying in the oils with my palette knife gives this painting an impressionistic feeling.  I started with an underpainting using a brush.  After looking at it for a couple of months on my easel, I decided I needed to take a different approach and repainted it with the knife.  I am much more satisfied with the outcome, especially with the color relationships.  The burnt orange contrasting against the violet and greens makes it pop. The colors of the landscape remind me of how a hot and dry summer day feels....therefore, the name, "Color of Summer".  I can't wait to put a frame on this panel once I varnish it.  This painting will be for sale once it dries.  Contact Kay for purchasing info.  Thanks, Kay

Bountiful by Kay Wyne

Bountiful

36" x 60" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

Contemporary Floral Painting

Starting with a photograph of John's roses, I quickly added some other flowers to the canvas.  This painting is bold, colorful and graphic.  It has brushstrokes that you can see, along with palette knife work, both creating lots of texture.  This painting is hanging at the studio drying, and while I may make some minor changes, it is completed.  The thick paint will take a while to dry, and then I will need to varnish.  The sides of the canvas are painted black, and a frame is optional.  Thanks for looking at Bountiful,  Contact Kay for more information on this contemporary floral.  Kay

Color My World by Kay Wyne

Color My World

14" x 10" Canvas on Panel

Contemporary Floral Landscape

This painting is drying at the studio.  I have two layers of paint on the panel, then lots of palette knife work.  I used impasto to get some texture on the smooth canvas.  The photograph may not show, but the clouds are thick, broad strokes of oils with the knife.  I will get this framed once it is dry...it needs to sit right now so that the paint won't get smudged up.  Feel free to contact ME for purchasing info.  Thanks for looking, Kay

Missed The Boat by Kay Wyne

Missed the Boat

12" x 12" Oil on RayMar Cotton Panel

Contemporary Palette Knife Painting

A trip to Maine gave me the inspiration to paint this small dinghy that was tied up in a fishing village.  I liked the rust and color changes on the metal, the textures in the rocks, and the variations in the water as it rippled across the rocks.  This small painting is available, and looks great framed up.  Contact Kay for more information.  Thanks for looking at this blog.  Kay

Misty by Kay Wyne

Misty

30" x 30" Oil on Canvas

Contemporary Palette Knife Painting

This painting needs a handsome frame.  

This palette knife painting has gone through many changes, with layers and layers of color.  I moved and pushed the paint around, changed the colors, changed the horizon line and the path.  It was a misty and moody day in Dallas...and I saw alot of the greys, lavenders and the start of spring green when I painted this.  It has an impressionistic feel to it.  I don't know how long it will take to dry, even with the impasto.....but I think it will look nice framed up.  Contact Kay for more information on this painting.  Thanks for looking at this blog.....Kay

Flutter by Kay Wyne

Flutter

24" x 24" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

Contemporary Palette Knife Painting

Thick strokes of oil are built up on the canvas creating texture.  The palette knife was much tool of choice on this painting.  I had to be careful not to mix up the colors once I put paint on the canvas...I could of easily created mud.  I was able to let the bold colors bounce off of each other.  This contemporary dragonfly is for sale.  Contact Kay for more information.  Thanks for looking at my blog.  Kay

Day # 27 of the 30/30 Paint Challenge

I was painting a floral landscape yesterday, and had started this little panel, and added some dark greens and violets, giving it more depth and interest.  In this still life, the little jar is holding three flowers...very simple.  The palette knife gives it some texture.  Contact Kay

Big Guy

30" x 30" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

This palette knife painting is fun, colorful and has lots of texture.  You can see the layers of paint, as it was applied with a knife.  You can't help but want to put your hands over the surface and feel the chunks of paint.  The paint is also on the sides of the stretcher bars, so framing is optional.  Contact Kay for more information on this painting.  Thanks for looking...Kay

Colors Of My World by Kay Wyne

Colors Of My World

8" x 16" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

Contemporary Palette Knife Painting

This small landscape painting is colorful and has a dreamy look to it.  I think that the viewer can put his or her imagination to work when looking at this one.  The color palette is beautiful...with so many colors and the cad reds and oranges bounce off the greens and turqoise.  This painting does not require a frame since it is on a gallery wrap canvas.  Contact Kay for more information on this colorful little painting...thanks for looking.  Kay

Distant Horizon by Kay Wyne

Distant Horizon

14" x 14" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

Contemporary Palette Knife Painting

This painting is one of several in a series...all same size canvas, similar color palette, all exploring the landscape.  I usually have issues painting with green, but I found some greens that I liked....I mixed and mixed and mixed.  And probably won't be be able to repeat this green because I was experimenting with my paints and didn't write my recipe for this color down.  There are four more pieces that are possible companion pieces...for a grouping.  Check back tomorrow for another painting!  Contact Kay for purchasing information.  Thanks, Kay

Fickle by Kay Wyne

Fickle

14" x 11" Oil on Canvas

Contemporary Palette Knife Painting

This abstract still life has sharp edges, bold colors and texture.  I used my palette knife on most of work, along with a few brushstrokes.  This small piece has painted edges, but would look great in a contemporary frame.  Contact Kay for more info on this painting.  Thanks, KMW

Obscurity by Kay Wyne

Obscurity
8" x 16" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas
Contemporary Palette Knife Painting

Uncertainty and obscurity comes to my mind when I look at this small abstract painting.  I was working towards a landscape with my palette knife and paints.  I worked and moved the paint across the canvas.  I see a nocturnal scene with earthy colors.  This painting has layers of color, and abstract shapes to pull the eye into the painting.  This is on a thick gallery wrap canvas, and the sides are painted, so a frame is optional.  Contact Kay for more info on this painting or the art posted here.  Thank you for viewing....Kay

Golden Fields by Kay Wyne

Golden Fields

8" x 16" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

Contemporary Palette Knife Painting

I got my palette knife out for this painting...I used thick, juicy globs of oils...so it will take some time for it to dry.  I wanted to paint a landscape that would take the eye from the foreground to the horizon.  The wildflowers are put in with very little detail...just shapes, color and texture.  This painting is drying in the studio right now, but will be shipped to a gallery once it is dry.  Thanks for looking at the art posted here.  Contact Kay if you have any questions or comments.  Thank you...Kay
