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! Thanks for viewing this blog! Feel free to contact me for more information on my art.

Fenced In At Fuel City by Kay Wyne

Fenced In At Fuel City
Oil on Canvas
24" x 24" Gallery Wrap Canvas

This donkey lives in downtown Dallas...at Fuel City. He is always eager to come to the fence, possibly looking for food. He isn't as vibrant and colorful in real life, but he does have a colorful personality. This painting is the third in a series, Fenced In. In this series of paintings an animal is fenced in...usually behind a barbed wire fence. It is hard to believe that this fellow is living blocks away from downtown Dallas, off Industrial Blvd. Please contact me if you are interested in purchasing this whimsical contemporary oil painting. This painting will be entered in the "Hecho in Dallas" Art Exhibit at the Latino Cultural Center of Dallas, along with two other oil paintings.
