“Free to Dream”, Original Mixed Media/Assemblage Painting by Colorado Artist, Donna L. Martin

"Free to Dream"

This is a piece I completed for an art show that I did last year.  The wings were made with molding paste and sea glass.  I used an old antique wooded piece for the middle to tie the two wings together.  Found a rusty old piece of hardware and added the butterfly to the middle.  I also added the words "Free to Dream" on the lower portion of the wooden piece in the middle and an old antique chandelier teardrop to the bottom of the wooden piece.

This piece measures approximately 18" wide and about 13" at the highest point in the middle.  The wings are finished with an epoxy resin coating, which really makes the colors "pop".

This one has a new home up in the mountains now, but I'm open to commissions.

I would love to hear your feedback, so please email me with any comments or if you are interested in a commissioned piece!

Abstract Dragonfly Painting

30" x 30" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

Contemporary Palette Knife Painting

I really got into this palette knife painting yesterday at the studio.  The basic shapes did not change, but the colors were all mixed, and layers of thick oils give this canvas texture.  I have so much paint on the canvas, it will take a long time to dry.  Here are a few pics of my progression with this painting:

 Drawing out the big shapes on the canvas...I usually do this with a filbert brush and paint.

 Covering the canvas with paint...filling in with bold colors.  Making sure that I like the shapes and placement of them.

Using several different sizes of palette knifes, working with the paint, moving it around on the canvas.  This stage of the painting is so much fun!  If I make a stroke I don't like, I just scrape it off....Thanks for looking at what I am doing in the studio...If you have any questions or comments, please contact ME.  Thanks for looking....Kay

Thick paint on this small panel gives the contemporary painting lots of texture. I blended the colors on the panel as I applied the paint with the palette knife. No brushes on this painting. I now have a new favorite knife....it is a number 24, and gives me crisp edges, and can get into small spaces on the canvas. Thanks for viewing this blog and the art posted here. Have a great day.

by Texas Artist Kay Wyne

This palette knife painting is #5 in this series.....pale robin's egg blue and raw umber are the primary colors in this painting, along with a creamy off-white. There is texture on the canvas as the paint was built up after layer and layer being applied. The soft blue is a good background for the umber tones in the butterfly. This creature evolved after several different drawings on the canvas board. Thanks for viewing....Look for Painting #6 tomorrow.
