Color My World

14" x 10" Oil on Canvas Panel

Contemporary Palette Knife Painting

Currently hanging at Dutch Art Gallery in Dallas, Texas, this contemporary floral landscape painting is getting framed up for the holidays.  The patches of flowers in the foreground were put in with a palette knife.  I used some impasto in the paint to give it more body and texture.  There was some scraping, pushing and pulling on the surface of the panel giving the painting interest and depth.  Contact Kay for more information on this painting.  Thanks, Kay

Color of Summer by Kay Wyne

Color of Summer

10" x 20" Oil on RayMar Cotton Panel

Contemporary Palette Knife Painting

This landscape was painted with a palette knife.....all the way.  It was fun to paint because I mixed my paints as I moved the paint around.  There is texture on the surface of the canvas panel because I put in thick chunks of paint as I worked on this painting.  Color of Summer is framed in a handsome frame, and is needs a new home!  Contact Kay Wyne for purchasing info.  Thanks for looking.....Kay

Field of Color is now drying at the studio...the thick layers of paint will take some time to dry.  My focus on painting this landscape was achieving harmonious colors that work well together, and please the eye.  Here is a close-up---you can see the thick application of paint and the texture.  I used a palette knife all the way.  I was in the studio mixing and mixing piles of paint, getting the colors all to relate to each other.

Contact ME for purchasing information.  Thanks for looking at the art posted on this blog. Have an artful day....Kay Wyne  p.s.  Happy Birthday to my Dad, Charlie Miller...he is the best!  He is 87 years young.  

Color of Summer by Kay Wyne

Color of Summer

10" x 20" Oil on RayMar Cotton Panel

Contemporary Palette Knife 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 ME for purchasing info.  Thanks, Kay

Contemporary Palette Knife Painting

Yesterday was the Artists' Reception at Dutch Art Gallery in Dallas, Texas for the "It's A Small World" exhibit.  There was a great turn-out, and this painting, "Afternoon Delight" took third place in the jurying.  (A total surprise for me, since I haven't won anything in a long time!!!)  Judges were Steve Hahn and Ellie Taylor, both fabulous artists.  Here is a pic of gallery owner Pam Massar, Ellie, Steve and I with my framed painting.

It was so much fun to meet some new collectors and artists throughout the afternoon.  It was especially fun to have friend Gwen Bell take second place and studio partner Sharon Hodges take first place in the judging.

That cheeseburger was fabulous!!!

Pam Massar, Steve Hahn, Gwen Bell with her fabulous painting "Dog Days", and Ellie Taylor.  If you missed the opening reception, please stop by the gallery to see all of the small paintings in the show...they are wonderful.  To top off my afternoon, three of my rooster paintings sold...they flew the coop and now have a new home.  A big thank you to Pam and her staff!  Thanks for looking at this blog...send any comments or questions my way.  Kay

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
