New "Autumn Reflections" Palette Knife Oil Painting by Contemporary Impressionist Niki Gulley

"Autumn Reflections" ©2015 Niki Gulley

18" x 48" textured oil painting on gallery wrap canvas

In Autumn Reflections, I wanted to give you the feeling of a beautiful, peaceful retreat on a colorful autumn day. To create that feeling of being immersed in nature, I chose this long panorama format so that the sanctuary is completely engulfed in fall foliage, a perfect escape from bustling city life. Loaded with uplifting color, still waters suggest a calming effect. One small ripple in the lake's distance lets you know that some ducks just swam by and you are surrounded by wildlife, not a care in the world.

If you're in the Dallas area this coming weekend and you'd like to see Autumn Reflections and more of my palette knife paintings in person, please stop by my booth at the Cottonwood Art Festival.

What's it called - Sfumato?  Well it's the blurring of edges
in a painting and I love to paint using this technique.  To me it gives the
illusion of reality or the illusion of abstract.  Read what you 
want to and your imagination can run away with you!

Looking Forward To Tomorrow by Kay Wyne

20" x 20" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

Contemporary Floral Still Life

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

I just pulled this canvas off my easel in the studio.  It is abstract, colorful and has thick brushstrokes of paint.  I have a new "thing" with this still life series...I put a "halo" in the composition...actually I decided to go with five of them.  I scratch paint off with a tool, then go in and put a color representing a pedal or part of the arrangement falling off.  I have put in two colors for each halo.  There are five halos in this painting.  The floral arrangement is busy and whimsical...giving this piece a fun and happy feel.  The edges of this canvas are painted, so framing is not necessary.  Contact Kay for more information on "Looking Forward to Tomorrow".  Thanks, Kay

Dragon flies are such interesting creatures!

I love how they can

hover and maneuver so easily.

 

They may not be the prettiest

are helping me out by

eating those biting insects!

Original Contemporary Modern Art Abstract Paintings by Filomena de Andrade Booth

All in Time 

30"x30"x1.5

Mixed media on canvas

Sold

I like to keep a record of the work I've done over the years.  I think it's important to go back once in a while to see what progress has been made and whether to revive some "old" ideas from time to time.

This painting was done in 2008.  At the time, I was doing a lot of work with gold leaf and stenciling.  This particular painting has layers of thin washes that reveal under-lying color and texture.

I love these paddle boats

that you can take into the lake

by the Houston Zoo.

I haven't ridden in one

for years and years.

But it is fun to watch people

try to get around in them.

 

And to photograph the reflections!

Stop and Smell the Flowers by Kay Wyne

Stop and Smell the Flowers

Runner-up in the 2015 Catholic Foundation Plaza Arts Competition

Not For Sale

When I was painting this contemporary still life, I was thinking of the phrase, “Stop and Smell the Flowers”, which is the title of this painting.  I wanted to create a unique painting with the beautiful colors and interesting shapes in the arrangement that I had set up in the studio, and transfer them to the canvas.   There is something special about painting from life...it is so much better than painting from memory or even a photo.  Painting this floral arrangement from life gave me the opportunity to capture the true essence of the flowers.  I want the viewer to feel the fullness and freshness that I experienced while painting.  I used a palette knife and wide brush to apply the thick, juicy oils on the canvas.  

I can't wait to see the winner of the Plaza Arts Competition...the unveiling of the art on the building will take place next month.  Congrats to the winner, Stuart Hausmann.

I am back in the studio getting ready for an exhibit in February, 2016...sounds like it is far away, but actually it is right around the corner.   I have several more florals on the easel, and working on some equine paintings.  Thanks for looking at this blog....Kay Wyne

I love the beach even when it's Galveston.  It's not
the prettiest, but it's ours and we claim it!  I don't live 
so close to Galveston anymore, but I do live by a beautiful
lake in the Texas hill country and I feel so lucky.  Lots
of different scenery here and soon I'll be painting the lake
and all it has to offer, and maybe even a few little bambies!

New "Interplay" Palette Knife Aspen Tree Painting by Niki Gulley

"Interplay" ©2015 by Niki Gulley

 36" x 48" original textured oil painting

Flickering autumn leaves seem to almost dance in a gentle breeze. I wanted this scene to be filled with movement and energy, so I incorporated a lot of diagonal and curving shapes in the design to suggest that feeling. Contrasting short staccato strokes against blended passages with my palette knives, also increase that sense of motion. I hope you, too, can feel the excitement of walking through the woods on a beautiful fall day, letting your cares slip away and your spirit being invigorated.

Just Sold - "Scenic Route" Palette Knife Oil Painting by Dallas Artist Niki Gulley

My husband and I love exploring the back roads whenever we’re en route somewhere. We always discover such interesting places, and the scenery is so much more picturesque than along the highway. It’s fun to slow down and enjoy the journey with no agenda, which is what I had in mind when I painted “Scenic Route,” a beautiful autumn drive through the winding fall foliage.

New "Colorful Carousel" Palette Knife Aspen Tree Painting by Niki Gulley

"Colorful Carousel" ©2015 by Niki Gulley

 36" x 60" original textured oil painting

I wanted this painting to be about the power and energy in nature to invigorate your spirit, so I chose to use warm vivid colors contrasted against cool underbrush while utilizing thick staccato strokes to add to that feeling. I placed the fall foliage in curving sweeping shapes to create a sense of movement, so that you can feel the wind gently rustling the leaves and causing them to dance on a beautiful fall day.

To see my work in person, I'll be exhibiting at Autumn and Art in Witchita, KS this weekend.

New "Dreams Ahead" Palette Knife Aspen Tree Painting by Niki Gulley

"Dreams Ahead" ©2015 by Niki Gulley

 30" x 40" original textured oil painting

Enjoying the melodic tinkling of the aspen leaves rustling in the breeze, the trickling sounds of the babbling brook at our backs, and the beauty of fall ablaze with color, I felt invigorated as I began painting this aspen forest. The setting was so peaceful and rejuvenating that I wanted to communicate that joyful feeling of discovery. Filling the canvas with energetic staccato strokes and bold colors, in addition to gently arching the tree trunks reaching towards the sky, add to that uplifting feeling. And then just a sliver of the trail cutting through the forest, suggests the excitement of the journey that is to come.

To see my work in person, I'll be exhibiting at Autumn and Art in Witchita, KS this weekend.

Original Contemporary Modern Art Abstract Paintings by Filomena de Andrade Booth

Something all acrylic painters should know

If you are an acrylic painter, you know how quickly your rinse water turns into a yucky mess.  Years ago, I didn't worry too much about where it went after I poured it down the drain.  But as I became more conscious about the environment and how we are contributing to the pollution of our waters, I started to look for ways to be more environmentally friendly. When we purchased a home with a septic system, it became imperative that I find a way to properly discard my rinse water.

I hope you'll find the following steps helpful.
