This is my posting for the "Interiors" theme this month. I used oil sticks and thick oil paints on this canvas. It is expressionistic and colorful. Thanks for viewing....I am looking forward to seeing the other postings for July. Kay

Floral by Kay Wyne

My post for the June challenge is an 18" x 18" oil painting, Floral. My inspiration for the painting was a beautiful arrangement that was sent to my daughter for her college graduation a few years ago. I do remember how beautiful they were....and they had a wonderful fragrance. Thanks for viewing this blog....Kay

Beach Bums

May's challenge is a good one, and my contribution to it is this painting of a couple on the beach with their flip flops on.  I hope to see a wide variety of shoes, boots and sandals on this post!  Thanks for viewing....Kay

No Comfort Zone by Kay Wyne

No Comfort Zone

6" x 6" Oil on RayMar Cotton Panel

Wow, this challenge really challenged me. I did everything with my left hand....the hardest thing for me was mixing the paints. I do not like to use straight oils out of the tube. I started putting colors and shapes on the panel, and found that I had two women and dog floating here in this painting. It was a good exercise....and NO COMFORT ZONE was present. Kay

Eat Your Veggies by Kay Wyne

Eat Your Veggies

6" x 8" Oil on Raymar Cotton Panel

This is a painting that I painted from a Different Strokes From Different Folks Challenge. I was really jazzed when I painted this. I used a wide, flat brush, and painted it pretty quickly. I did not go back into the wet paint and "fuss" with it. Thanks for viewing....and be sure to eat your veggies! Kay

Looking At You by Kay Wyne

Looking At You....I hope this qualifies for the October theme of Birds and Bees.  I have plenty of birds, but no bees in my portfolio of paintings.  This guy was inspired by the Dallas Chicken Coop Tour that I went on last year.  This contemporary oil painting is on a 36" x 36" Gallery Wrap Canvas.  Happy October!  Kay

Starting a New Life by Kay Wyne

Starting a New Life is my first abstract aspen painting...I have some blue sky in this painting, so hopefully it qualifies for the September post. It also has just about every other color in the book. It is a 48" x 72" oil on gallery wrap canvas. Big. I had a great time painting this one, and started a Aspen Series...blue is my favorite color, so you see blue in just about every painting that I do. Thanks for viewing....Kay

Blue Bonnets by Kay Wyne

Blue Bonnets

24" x 24" Oil on Canvas

This painting was my first blue bonnet painting....and probably my last....OMG...those flowers take so long to paint! But, I did learn alot from this painting. Today is September 1st, and our new theme is Blue, Blue, My World Is Blue....well, since blue is my favorite color and I put blue in almost all of my paintings, I hope to post alot this month. This painting is for sale...contact Kay at kay@kwyne.com for more information. Thanks for viewing this blog...Kay

Chalk It Up...a collaborative piece of artwork

Chalk It Up

48" x 48" Collaborative Mixed Media on Gallery Wrap Canvas

This is stretching the theme of "Back In School".....but a new box of Crayolas always brings back memories of going out and getting school supplies. This piece was a fun and interesting project for me....it was originally exhibited at the McKinney Aveue Contemporary for the membership show. The theme was "Fifteen". The artists are Charles William (Faciall) and myself. I met Charles through the Stewpot Art Program where I volunteer, and we thought it would be fun to work on a piece together...from start to finish. We discussed several different ideas, and one day Charles found a plastic bucket of fifteen colorful chalks. We took them outside on blistering day, and had a photograph session and played with the chalk on the hot concrete in the 105 degree Texas heat. So we had our inspiration and a reference photograph to work from.

We wanted to create something that was fun and exciting. Charles is a very talented artist who works in acrylics...and I needed to adapt to the acrylics since it had been years since I painted in acrylics. I love my oils. Anyway, we got a 48" x 48" canvas and started painting...we had to talk about it all...usually Charles and I sit down in front of the canvas and the art just pours out. We really don't discuss it...but we both needed to make sure that what we were dong was alright with the other. Soon the piece became mixed media and we added chalk and pastels to the paint to give it a chalky effect.

This collaboration was a great experience for both of us. I think we learned alot about art and about ourselves. We exchanged our views on painting methods and techniques, and exchanged conversation about our daily lives. Charles is a an extremely gifted artist, and unique individual. It was an honor to paint with Charles on this canvas. I would encourage you to visit the First Presbyterian Church of Dallas Stewpot website:http://thestewpot.org/art.asp. The Open Art Studio is a community outreach serving the at-risk populations of Dallas. It is open to all people looking for an environment to express and create through the medium of art. Currently, this piece is hanging at Royal Lane Baptist Church.

Horizon Series: Abstract Aspens by Kay Wyne

Horizon Series: Abstract Aspens

This abstract aspen painting could be upside down....or reflections of the aspens in the canvas. It is in a more "earthy" palette than I usually work with. It was layered and layered with oils....using my palette knife. It is on a 30" x 30" gallery wrap canvas, ready to hang! Thanks for viewing. Kay

Small Hat Painting by Kay Wyne

This little 6" x 8" oil is on a Raymar cotton panel. I was digging through some of my husband's stuff and found his wool YMCA baseball cap and baseball from years ago. Maybe this painting will bring back some memories for you as you look at it. It was a fun little piece to do....although I seem to enjoy painting on large canvases. Thanks for viewing this blog, and have an artful day! Kay

Cowboy Up by Kay Wyne

Cowboy Up is a 24" x 24" oil on gallery wrap canvas. This painting was inspired by a trip to a horse show in Gainesville, Texas that my nephew, Casey Settles was in. He was getting his chaps on getting ready to ride. I liked the clean lines in his hat. I gave him the painting, and it is now hanging in my sister's home in Illinois. Thanks for viewing this blog!

Lucky Dog by Kay Wyne

Lucky Dog

9" x 12" oil on canvas

This painting was painted with the palette knife...on one of our trips to New Orleans I took a picture of this Lucky Dog stand on the street corner. Here is the vendor with his tools....

Croquet, Anyone? by Kay Wyne

Croquet, Anyone?

This little 4" x 6" oil painting is on a cotton panel.

I liked the look of the mallet and ball and then threw in the post.

It was fun...and you need the mallet (a game tool?) to play croquet.

Thanks for viewing this blog. Have a great day.

Fishing Lures...by Kay Wyne

Here is a quick little painting ( 4" x 6") on a Raymar cotton panel. I painted it after attending a Carol Marine workshop.....Tools for fishing......some old things that I found in a tackle box.

Floral by Texas Artist Kay Wyne

Floral

18" x 18" Oil on Canvas

This colorful floral was inspired by a beautiful arrangement that my daughter recieved when she graduated from college. Actually, it now hangs in a home in Chicago, Illinois. I stepped out of my comfort zone with the turqoise and orange paint. Lots of wide brushstrokes and bold colors. Thanks for viewing! Stay warm...I think it is another icey day in Dallas. Kay
