This painting was inspired by a visit to the Trinity River.

S Hodges: Spring Peas, 8x10, (Sold)

Spring has been especially nice this year in north Texas. These early peas lasted just long enough to be painted, and then made a tasty addition to a fresh salad. (Sold)

S Hodges:Tuba Parade, 40x30x2, oil on gallery canvas

I totally love parades, and especially the bands...all of them, especially the giant tubas which remind me of stampeding elephants (and frequently sound similar to the pachyderms, ahem). It takes a special person to play a tuba, don't you think? This piece stands on its own, or completes a triptych of the Memorial Day Parade pieces: see prior posts of 'Memorial Day Bagpipers' and 'Canines on Parade'. All are painted on gallery depth canvas, completed finished to the edges, so no need to frame. To purchase this painting, contact me or use the PayPal button below. These 40x30x2 paintings are priced at $900 each, and I would apply a discount should you wish to purchase the triptych.

S. Hodges: The Diner, 60x36x2, oil on gallery canvas

A great diner is one of my favorite things. This one is in Dallas, owned by a friend of mine, and is just a great place for food and friends. The strong morning light through the back windows added an interesting touch to this composition, making all the condiments look like mini-landscapes (well, that's how it looked to me!). To purchase this painting, (price $2250., no need to frame as painting is finished on all edges, gallery depth canvas) use the PayPal button below, or contact me for more info. Thanks for looking!

We will be looking forward to seeing you there.

Neck & Neck by Kay Wyne

Neck & Neck

Oil on 32" x 30" Gallery Wrap Canvas

This painting will go to The Wine Therapist Exhibit

(if it is dry enough!)

This painting is fast and furious...lots of color, engergy and movement on the canvas. I wanted the viewer to keep looking at the horses...trying to decide which one is in the lead. It is close. I just finished and signed it today. I hope to put it in Studio Art & Soul's upcoming show. More details on the artists' reception and show. I hope that you had an artful day....I did!

Red Rooster by Kay Wyne

City Rooster
Oil on 30" x 30" Canvas
$975
This City Rooster lives a few blocks away from Studio Art and Soul. Heritage Village (formerly known as Old City Park) has some very interesting animals...my reference photo for this painting was taken by one of my studio partners, Sharon Hodges. She was kind enough to let me use a fabulous image that she captured with her camera.
This plump rooster has bold brush strokes, and fills the canvas with his black and white feathers. His golden beak, red comb and black and white feathers make this contemporary City Rooster interesting. The background was applied with a palette knife, using naples yellow, white and yellow ochre. I signed this feathered creature, and will have it framed at Dutch Art Gallery. I think this City Rooster will look great in a gold frame. Thanks for viewing this blog. Please contact me if you are interested in City Rooster!
