Small Floral Painting, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, 8x10" Pink Floral Oil Painting, Palette Knife

I wanted to create a soft, soothing floral still life. Painted on .75" deep canvas, with painted sides. Finished with a light spray of varnish to enhance and protect the colors.

I worked with both brush and palette knife, but 90% of it is the knife.


Hope you enjoy it!

Flower Still Life, Small Oil Painting, Daily Painting, 6x8" Oil on Panel, Palette Knife Painting

Today I painted a flower.

Purchase Here

I have been struggling with my painting, for a full year now.  I have never been able to establish a routine in the studio, since we packed our bags, and moved to the mountains.  I thought I was over painting.  I found no joy in it.  In fact, everything I struggled to paint, seemed more like a duty and I found it frustrating.

But now, we have been back at the beach for three months.  It took awhile. First the holidays got in the way, but after the first of the year, I started to regain my love of spending my days in the studio. 

Maybe it was the inspiration of the long walks on the beach, or maybe  it was being back with my art buddies again.  Whatever..........I am thrilled and anxious to smear paint across canvas again!

It is such a JOY!!!

Looking Forward to Tomorrow

20" x 20" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

Contemporary Floral Still Life

Today is Day #29 in the 30/30 Paint Challenge

I just pulled this canvas off my easel in the studio.  It is abstract, colorful and has thick brushstrokes of paint.  I have a new "thing" with this still life series...I put a "halo" in the composition...actually I decided to go with five of them.  I scratch paint off with a tool, then go in and put a color representing a pedal or part of the arrangement falling off.  I have put in two colors for each halo.  There are five halos in this painting.  The floral arrangement is busy and whimsical...giving this piece a fun and happy feel.  The edges of this canvas are painted, so framing is not necessary.  Contact Kay for more information on "Looking Forward to Tomorrow".  Thanks, Kay

Day #8 in the 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge

This still life painting started with a a bouquet of fresh flowers in the studio.  The jar is full of color and the flowers are bursting out of the jar.  Lately I have been painting floral still lifes to capture the beauty and the variety of colors and shapes that I see.  I have this painting in a handsome frame, hanging at the studio.  I would also look great standing on an easel without the frame.  Contact Kay Wyne for purchasing information.  Thanks for looking at this blog...Kay

Soaking Up Sunshine by Kay Wyne

Soaking Up Sunshine

14" x 14" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

Contemporary Floral Still Life

Thick paint applied with a new wide brush made this painting so much fun to paint.  Up until the last few strokes, the vase was square in shape, but with the background window pains, I though it was all too angular.  So I changed it up.  The 14" x 14" canvas size is a nice medium size---you wouldn't think that there is much difference between a 12" x 12" and this size...but there is a huge difference.  This contemporary still life is colorful, bold, and happy.  Contact Kay Wyne for purchasing info.  Thanks for looking at the art posted on this blog.  KAY

10" x 10" Oil on RayMar Cotton Panel

Contemporary Oil Painting

My color palette is very vibrant in this painting....which I just completed in the studio.  It is too hot to paint outside in Texas under the hot July sun.  I had fun with this one....I wanted all of the flowers to sing with color.  Here is a pic of my palette that I was working from.

There is more brushwork than palette knife on this panel.  I wanted my colors to be bright, vivid and intense.  This painting will be drying in the studio, then I will frame.  Contact ME if you have any comments or have an interest in purchasing.  Thanks for looking....Kay Wyne

8" x 10" Oil on RayMar Cotton Panel

Contemporary Still Life Painting

This is one of favorite still life paintings...I was painting the floral arrangement on an old wicker table.  The short and squatty jar was a great transparent blue color.  Once again, I used Chris Heroy's fresh cut roses.  They were absolutely beautiful.  The oils on this panel will take months to dry....I went heavy on the oils.  Thanks for looking...Kay

Oh Happy Day! by Kay Wyne

Oh Happy Day!

18" x 36" Oil on Heavy Duty Gallery Wrap Canvas

Contemporary Floral Still Life Painting

I loved painting this palette knife painting.  It was a day when everything fell into place and I the painting process was so much fun.  I was wanting to explore the greens, muddy greys and violets.  Spending a lot of time mixing my oils, I limited myself to various shades of those colors only.  The horizontal format was fun to work on...a change from my favorite square format.  This painting was part of an exhibit at Dutch Art Gallery in Dallas, Texas and is still on display there.  Thanks for looking at my art....Kay

Sitting Pretty by Kay Wyne

Sitting Pretty

12" x 12" Oil on Canvas

Contemporary Floral Still Life
$575

This small painting was completed in the studio yesterday.  I need to sign it and let dry before framing it up.  I had lots of great colors on my palette, and loved playing with the roses, reds, corals, violets and greys.  My intention was to get the palette knife out, but stuck with my flat brush.    I mixed and mixed my colors for this painting, but was careful not to mix them on the canvas, just  putting the paint down, and not going back into it, making each stroke count.   Contact Kay for more info on this small floral arrangement.  Thanks, Kay

Tickled Pink by Kay Wyne

Tickled Pink

18" x 24" Oil on Gallery Wrap 

Contemporary Palette Knife Painting
Contact Kay for more info on this painting.

Tickled Pink is a palette knife painting that has very thick players of paint on the canvas. I loved mixing the piles of gooey oils in orange, pink, lavender and corals for this contemporary palette knife painting.  I had painted a similar painting several months ago, but it was lacking in depth, so this is my answer to that issue!!!  This is a close-up shot of the painting so that you can see the body and thick build-up of the oils.

Thanks for looking at my art....I hope we are finished with the snow and ice...more painting in the studio tomorrow.  Have an artful day!  Kay

I am getting ready for an upcoming exhibit with three other local artists...and I have been exploring floral still life paintings.  The possibilities are endless, and I am having so much fun with them!  This still life needs a frame since it is painted on a museum quality panel.  Contact ME for more information on Pure Bliss.  We are snowed in today, so it will be a great day to paint at the studio.  Thanks for looking, Kay

Oh Happy Day!

Contemporary Palette Knife Painting

Floral Still Life

18" x 36" Oil on Heavy Duty Gallery Wrap Canvas

I can honestly say that this painting was painted from the heart.  It wasn't hard to paint.  It didn't take long.  It just came out of me.  And it makes me smile,  just as our family news on Sunday.  I wanted to paint something beautiful and lasting....so I went through my reference photos decided on a still life, and picked out a limited color palette of grays, greens and violets.  And just let it go.  The paint is applied with the knife and is really thick and textured.  This painting is drying at the studio.  Contact Kay Wyne for information on this painting.  Thanks for looking at this blog.

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

Smell The Roses by Kay Wyne

Smell The Flowers

8" x 8" Oil on RayMar Cotton Panel

Contemporary Still Life Painting

Day #18 in the 30/30 Paint Challenge

This little palette knife painting was inspired by a small bouquet of pink and coral flowers that are at the studio.  I simplified the bouquet, and grayed down the colors, and went abstract.  I started to use a brush to apply the paint, but this painting called for the palette knife.  The colors used are left over from yesterday's painting...I freeze my oils so they don't dry out...I have piles of corals, pinks and lavenders in the freezer, so I might have another painting with the same colors in the near future.  I am happy with the composition, paint application and the way it turned out.  Thanks for looking at this blog....Kay

KMA2961 Orange Zest by Colorado Contemporary artist Kit Hevron Mahoney (12x12 acrylic, abstract floral)

This is another of my abstract floral still life paintings that was done as an exploration into creating paintings that have less detail but say more. It is a challenge to work mostly intuitively on these. Many of these start with some sort of reference but soon take on their own lives once I let go and let them dictate the direction. I have this painting at my Denver art gallery and studio, Brushstrokes Studio-Gallery. Now that summer is coming to an end and I finish my great commissions, I will be getting back to more of these as they indeed, do challenge me! 12"x12" original acrylic on panel board unframed $550 + $35 shipping and handling See more paintings on my blog Visit my website  Daily Painters of Colorado Brushstrokes Studio-Gallery
