Only The Lonely by Kay Wyne

Only The Lonely

This palette knife painting was a fun painting for me. I layered the paint on with the knife, with my favorite color blue and some neutrals. I liked the way the nest was placed off-center on the canvas. Thanks for viewing this blog....as you can see, the nest I painted is empty!!!

Celebration by Kay Wyne

Celebration
36" x 36" Oil on Canvas

This contemporary abstract painting is hanging at the Dutch Art Gallery in Dallas. It was painted last year and because of the colors and movement in this painting, I named it Celebration. It is appropriate for me to re-post this painting...The Wyne family has been celebrating lately with the marriage of our daughter, Lindsay to Wesley Henry. My painting time has taken a backseat to the engagement, engagement party and all of the wedding plans. But, I hope to get back into the studio and focus on my painting. I have gotten re-charged and very inspired and will have some new paintings to post soon! Thanks for visiting this blog...

Jackson Hole Chapel by Kay Wyne

Jackson Hole Chapel
Painting #3
Oil on 8" x 36"

Gallery Wrap Canvas

I can only say that I wish my dreams would come true, and that I was painting on location in Jackson Hole....escaping the brutal Texas heat. After painting two versions of this chapel, I was not satisfied. So I started slapping the paint on the mountains with a palette knife and got loose on this canvas. At one point the grass in the foreground was green.....and it blended in too much with the aspen trees. So I did scrape the paint off the fence and ground. I have been known to have "issues" with green before....everyone at the studio knows that I can get into trouble with green paint. So I used Naples Yellow, Yellow Ochre and some Raw Umber on the ground. I did have my struggles with this painting, but was happy with the end results. This was a commission piece and now hangs in the Harris' home in Dallas, Texas. Have a great day, and thanks for viewing this blog! Stay cool.

Horizon Series: Abstract 1023 by Kay Wyne

Horizon Series: Abstract 1023 - SOLD
Here is another Horizon Series Painting....This 18" x 18" Gallery Wrap Canvas has color, lines, shapes and texture. The oil paints were pushed around with palette knives and brushes. I am posting this painting because I dream about color. I don't know if I am a colorist or not, but I love color. (I need to research the definition of a colorist...maybe a good subject for my next posting on my blog!) All of my art is full of color - it could be an abstract, a landscape, an animal portrait or mixed media. I love color! If you are interested in viewing more of my art, please go to my blog:
