Crowd Pleaser by Kay Wyne


Crowd Pleaser
48" x 60" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas
Contemporary Abstract
"Crowd Pleaser" is signed, and drying at the studio...Starting this painting with transparent washes, I had a couple of ideas in mind for this rather large canvas.  I have been wanting to paint a large floral landscape, then I thought it was about time to paint some roosters.  In the end, a very abstract floral landscape appears...but one very different from what I was working on in the beginning.  

My husband, John said that it looks like a crowd of people, and along with the pleasant colors I used, he suggested the title.  I am alway open to suggestions when it comes to naming my canvases...and I thought he nailed it.  "Crowd Pleaser" works for me!   Layers of mixed colors applied with brushes, allow the canvas to have paint built up in some areas.  This painting is available for purchase...contact Kay for more info.  Thanks for looking at my blog!  Kay

Abstract by Kay Wyne





Horizontal
48" x 60" 

Vertical
60" x 48"

I painted this abstract on a 48" x 60" Gallery Wrap Canvas.  It can hang vertically or horizontally.  I painted it horizontally until the last day, and at the point I turned it on it's side to reach some canvas that needed some detail and brushstrokes headed in another direction.  Turning the canvas on all four sides gives the viewer some options on hanging...

This painting started out as a landscape with a horizon line and colorful land bars.  Once my wide lines and shape started to take place, it began to look and feel like a stream of water with fish swimming upstream.  I concentrated on my color palette from the get-go, wanting pleasant and beautiful colors.  I mixed everything...nothing is straight out of a tube.  This painting is drying at the studio.  It isn't titled right now....although "Upstream" might be a good choice.  The sides of the canvas are painted with a dark vulcan grey, and framing is not necessary.  Contact Kay Wyne for more information on this contemporary abstract painting.  Kay

Persuasion by Kay Wyne



Persuasion II
24" x 48" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas
Contemporary Palette Knife Painting
Here are the two canvases together:
Persuasion I & Persuasion II
Diptych 48" x 48" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas
Using a palette knife to apply the layers of oil paints, this abstract was created with color and movement in mind.  The shapes of color overlap each other, and the oils blended into each other.  Greys, violets, magenta, pinks, corals, greens, and tangerine are the colors in this contemporary abstract.  The colors float across the canvas.  The paintings can be hung separately, or as a diptych.  Contact Kay Wyne for purchasing information.  Thanks, KMW

Jump-Start by Kay Wyne


Jump-Start
30" x 30" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas
Contemporary Abstract Painting
I was in a blue mood....I pulled out my blues in tubes and oil sticks and made a sample color chart.  Then I picked the blues I thought would be great on this canvas, and mixed a lot of them.  Here is pic of the blue hues that I had at the studio....probably more than I really need.  But after years of painting, I have collected some great blues.  Probably my top three colors are:  
  • 1  Richeson Ice Blue  
  • 2  Classic Cobalt
  • 3  Charvin Linen Flower

More blue paintings to come...Thanks for looking at Jump-Start!  Contact Kay Wyne for purchasing information.  Have an artful day...Kay

Twister by Kay Wyne


Twister
40" x 30" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas
Contemporary Abstract
I was thinking of all the severe weather we are having in Texas when I named this contemporary abstract.  The current weather situation of flooding and high winds have left a path of destruction.  On my canvas, the eye of the storm on the canvas is swirling, as if I am looking at a tornado from an aerial view.  The muddy greys and violets are mixed in with the olive greens...it's not my usual color palette.  You can see the wide swipes or strokes that I took with the palette knife, leaving some texture on the canvas.  This painting is drying in the studio...Contact ME for more information on this painting.  Thanks for looking at this blog....Kay

Go With The Flow by Kay Wyne


Go With The Flow
40" x 30" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas
Contemporary Abstract Painting
(I may need to adjust the color as it is somewhat lighter as I
look at the painting and compare it to the photo.  
Or, it could be my computer.)
This palette knife painting is drying on my easel in the studio.  I put the title, "Go With The Flow" on it because as I layered the oils and moved the paint on the canvas it was obvious that I need to go with the flow, and let it happen.
This is a close-up of the palette knife work....layers of color, leaving knife edges and forming shapes.  Lots of fracturing going on, and some texture.  But the neatest part of the painting is the color.  The colors are beautiful, and they flow very well from one grey to a violet to a magenta to a red to an orange and then the neutrals.  There are some punches of turqoise and blue in there.  I mixed piles and piles of oils on my palette as I made my way through this painting.  Contact Kay for purchasing info.  Thanks, KMW

Contemporary Abstract Project by Kay Wyne - Completed!


Contemporary Abstract Nursery Paintings
Acrylic on Sixteen Cotton Panels
NFS
This is my latest nursery project for our new grandson.  I started with sixteen 6" x 6" RayMar Cotton Panels, painted the background white and slowly started painting shapes with the colors my daughter picked out.  She requested that the images be nonrepresentational with a certain color palette.  As I worked on the small surfaces, I kept adding and working the paint, until I felt like it was complete.  That happened three times.  I normally paint in oils, so working with the fast drying acrylics was a challenge.  I picked a simple white frame for each panel, and here is the result. I wanted a very clean but colorful presentation for the wall.     
I am back in the studio today working on commission and paintings for an upcoming exhibit in February.  Thanks for looking at this blog....Contact Kay for more information on her art.  Kay Wyne

Lovely Day by Kay Wyne


Lovely Day
8" x 8" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas
Contemporary Still Life
I have been into small still life paintings lately, and this one is drying on my easel.  I used a #12 Bright on this canvas, and was able to put down crisp, angular strokes.  No blending or fussing with it...I put a stroke of color down and left it.  I named this painting, "Lovely Day" because most person have lovely days when they give or receive bouquets of flowers.I am spending all of my time in the studio getting ready for a several juried shows and one three-woman show.  Feel free to contact me at MY EMAIL with any questions or comments.  Thanks for looking at the art posted on this blog.  Kay Wyne

Rattled by Kay Wyne


Rattled
24" x 24" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas
Contemporary Abstract Painting
I remember the day that I painted this contemporary abstract.  As I was starting this painting in the studio when I received a very annoying telephone call from a gallery owner.  The interruption shifted my mood and the plans I had for the canvas.  I was derailed.  The color palette that I used and the bold strokes tell that on the canvas.  I used oil sticks and oil paints with brushes and a palette knife to indicate the frustration and energy I had that day.  This painting is at the studio, and would love to move to a new home.  Contact Kay for more info.  Thanks for looking at this blog...Kay

Impulsive by Kay Wyne


Impulsive
18" x 18" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas
Contemporary Floral Landscape
Color, texture, and movement are found in this contemporary palette knife painting.  I used brushes, palette knives and a sculpting tool to achieve this abstract look.  I actually started with a painting underneath...one that I wasn't happy with.  So when scraping through the top layer of oils the colors from the first painting show through.  This painting is hanging at Dutch Art Gallery in Dallas, Texas.  Thanks for looking at this blog....Kay

Original Contemporary Modern Art Abstract Paintings by Filomena de Andrade Booth

It's a Matter of Time
36"x36"x1.5"
Acrylic on canvas


 


 

Sometimes what is beneath is as important at what lies above.  As I was working on this painting, certain areas were a bit too saturated with paint.  I decided to scrape some color off and discovered that the underlying layers were more interesting.  This painting reminds me of metal that has been subjected to the ravages of weather and rust, revealing a beauty that only comes with time.

It's a Matter of Time measures 36" x 36".  This large, textural canvas is gallery-wrapped on 1.5" deep bars.  The sides have been painted in gray/black micaceous iron oxide.  Framing is not required.  It is signed on the side, dated and signed on the back.  A Certificate of Authenticity is included.
