Horizon Series: Abstract 1027
Oil on 22" x 30" Gallery Wrap Canvas

This abstract went through alot of changes before it was completed. When I started it, I was using a totally different color scheme and did not know I was going in this direction. I applied layers and layers of color...there is alot of movement and depth in this abstract. I used both the brush and palette knife on this one. Lines, shapes, color and texture...it is all on this canvas. I really like this size canvas...it hangs well above a dark piece of furnture or tilted up against the wall, sitting on a table or cabinet. This contemporary abstract is on gallery wrap canvas, so no frame is needed. It is ready to hang! Thanks so much for viewing this blog. Please contact me if you are interested in purchasing this painting. Have a great day! Kay

11/17/10 Ruidoso Chapel

Struggled through this commission for six weeks. Never knew how challenging it would truly be. They say that it is good to get out of your comfort zone ------- I definitely did just that! It made me grow and learn a lot about how the eye is fooled into perspective.

Thank you for taking the time to look at our blog.

Color My Trees by Kay Wyne

Color My Trees

This painting just came down from the Wine Therapist...and is on it's way to The Dutch Art Gallery. It is a contemporary oil painting with texture and color. Lots of bright, vibrant color. I needed to put the paint on with thick broad strokes and the palette knife. Please contact me if you are interested in purchasing this painting. Thanks for viewing this blog. Kay

Sharon Hodges: Liza, 18x24, NFS

My husband and I were guests of our god-daughter's family last summer at Sea Island, GA, for a wonderful beach vacation. My favorite photo from that trip is of our god-daughter, Liza, when she was playing on the beach, writing her name in the sand. As this posts, Liza will be the flower girl in my oldest niece's wedding, so we will all be together in Florida for the big event. This painting is a gift to Liza's parents.

Rudy
12" x 16" Oil on Canvas
Palette Knife Painting
I finally finished a painting yesterday. I have many paintings going, and either I am stuck or uninspired to work on them. This guy is very wet...I really layered the paint on with the knife. I think he will look great framed up in a dark wood moulding. Thanks for viewing this blog.
Please contact me if you are interested in this painting...it would make a great Christmas gift for someone! kay@kwyne.com or 214-532-0325.

Sharon Hodges: Retrieving Dilemma, 18x24

Still painting the retriever, and she has a real dilemma here. Should she keep the wonderful stick, or drop it for that great lime green tennis ball? Tough choice. This particular dog will try to put both in her mouth and will likely succeed. She has a great heart. I hope I have captured just a hint of the brief moment of her indecision.

Sharon Hodges: Retriever at the Beach, 20x24

If you have ever been blessed by a retrieving canine in your life, then this is a familiar and happy scene. This golden will swim thru the waves for her tennis ball for hours and hours and hours. Her 'person' waits on the beach to throw the ball yet again. I was trying to paint this from the dog's vantage point...had to borrow the neighbor's retriever for photos, as my own beloved labrador didn't get the memo that she hails from a long lineage of water loving champion retrievers. (She hates water and wouldn't even be tempted if I threw a steak out there!) Dogs are a favorite painting subject for me...it is possible that I like them better than many people, at least I understand them better.

Sharon Hodges: What Color is your Buffalo?, 24x30

Yes, I am still painting the large beasts of the western plains, albeit not in their native colors. My buffalo(s) are turquoise/ lilac, orange, etc, and it makes a good contrast to the early winter grasses, yes? I like the repetition of the hulking form, and would like to paint it larger, much, much larger...a herd, large herd of multi colored buffalo.....Thanks for viewing my work. If you are interested in purchasing this or any other painting, please do contact me.

Sharon Hodges: Buffalo King, 24x30

Many thanks to friend & fellow artist Mark Malone who shared his photographs of buffalo from a recent trip to New Mexico. I've always be fascinated with these beasts...particularly their mass, their bulk, their texture. They are just great big hulks of power and texture. I like that. This particular buffalo was on a fenced ranch, and somehow I suspect he might not have appreciated that fence, but he at least accepted it for the moment.
