Hideaway by Kay Wyne

Hideaway

36" x 36" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

Contemporary Palette Knife Painting

Here's a few photos of the progress on this canvas.  This was a fun painting for me, as I had not painted a bird's nest in years.  I am letting it sit at the studio and giving my eye a chance to figure out if it needs anything else.  I started with my transparent and a large squeegee, spreading the paint and getting the darks in.  I used a palette knife and a wide bright brush when it came to the feathers, leaves and twigs and everything that makes up the nest.

Thanks for looking at my art.  Feel free to contact me about this painting or any of my other art.  This painting is available for purchase.  Contact Kay Wyne for more info.  Thanks, Kay

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

Georgie Boy by Kay Wyne - Sold

Georgie Boy

Sold

12" x 12" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

Contemporary Rooster Painting 

George has flown away from Dutch Art Gallery, and I am thrilled to report that he has a new home!  Thanks to gallery owner Pam Massar for selling Georgie Boy to a Dallas collector.  George is a handsome Buff Orpington rooster, and is the mascot at our local Gecko Hardware Store in Lake Highlands.  I painted this 12" x 12" canvas several months ago in the gallery with George sitting on the counter.  I wanted to get his beautiful feathers and full body in this painting.  I loved layering the paint to get a full-chested and fluffy George on canvas using my palette knife.  Thanks for looking at my blog...I guess I need to paint another Georgie soon!  Kay

Big Guy by Kay Wyne

Big Guy

30" x 30" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

Contemporary Palette Knife Painting

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

Painted on a heavy-duty 2 1/2" thick gallery wrap canvas, this rooster is looking for a new home.  As you can see in this pic, the sides are painted and a frame is not necessary.

Through out most of the painting, the paint was applied with thick, bold strokes with the palette knife.  The application of paint created texture on the canvas.  This contemporary rooster was named Big Guy because of his imposing stance.  The rooster is bold and bossy, and would be a conversation starter in any room.  Contact Kay with any questions or comments.  Thanks for looking at this blog!  Kay

This is 30 Paintings in 30 Days - Day #27 with Leslie Saeta

This is yesterday's painting demo at Dutch Art Gallery in Dallas, Texas for a group of lovely women from Rockwall, Texas.  We had George, the rooster there live from our neighbors at Gecko Hardware Store in Lake Highlands come down and do some modeling.  He was really good for 90 minute session.  I photographed this while it was very wet, so there is a little glare on it.  This paint is very thick!  But because I used impasto, it will dry fast.  It is on a gallery wrap canvas, so no frame is necessary.  Thanks for looking at this blog.  Contact Kay with any comments or questions.  Kay

Mister Rooster by Kay Wyne

 

Mister Rooster

Commission - SOLD

30" x 30" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

This contemporary rooster was a commission for a Dallas collector who asked me to paint a colorful rooster.  It was fun working with him, choosing the color palette, the canvas size, the subject matter...creating just the right image...it was a Christmas gift to his wife.  Mister Rooster has color, texture and personality!  I know that this rooster will love his new home.  Here are a few photos of the painting....as it went through different stages.

As you can see, I started with a drawing in charcoal, then started covering the canvas with paint.  Layers and layers of paint went on with a wide brush and then the palette knife.  The palette knife allows the paint to be applied with texture and gives the painting depth.  Feathers were added giving Mister Rooster volume and a full body.  Details in the eye were important.  Touches of color implying wildflowers were put in the grass.  Thanks for looking at this blog and the art posted.  

Contact me if you are interested in purchasing art for your home or office.  Thanks, Kay

Sunday Stroll

10" x 20" Oil on Canvas

Contemporary Rooster Painting

This colorful rooster is strolling thru the grass...he is actually looking for a new home.  He is framed up in a handsome dark moulding with a gold lip.  Because of the slender canvas size, he could squeeze on to a wall in your house!  Contact Pam Massar at Dutch Art Gallery for purchasing information.  This painting has lots of texture because I used my palette knife to sculpt the rooster.  Thanks for looking at this blog and the art posted here.  Kay

I got my palette knives out yesterday and worked on the landscape with the two cattle.  I would of put some tall grass in the foreground, but the canvas is way too wet with thick paint.  I had to use a very small knife for the the cows to get the small shapes in.  Thanks for looking at my art....email me if you are interested in purchasing.  This is Day 24 of the 30 Paintings in 30 Days.  Thanks....KMW
