24" x 24" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

Contemporary Palette Knife Painting

Thanks to friend Mark Malone, I was able to paint from a beautiful photograph that he had taken of a red dragonfly.  I thought it was a neat shot with vivid colors.  This abstract painting has lots of texture...I used heavy impasto to build up the oils.  The sides of the canvas are painted, so it is ready to hang.  Contact Kay Wyne for purchasing info.  It is hanging at the studio and would love to have a new home!  Thanks for looking...Kay

Contemporary Abstract Palette Knife Painting

Red dragonflies are all over the gardens at the Dallas Arboretum.  I worked off of a photograph taken by friend Mark Malone.  It was an amazing photo, and I went abstract with it.  I exaggerated the colors, and implied that the dragonfly was fluttering over some flowers.  The oils were applied with a palette knife so there is plenty of texture on the canvas.  Sides of the canvas are painted, so framing is optional.  Contact Kay for purchasing info.  Thanks, Kay

Contemporary Palette Knife Painting

Thick strokes of oil are built up on the canvas creating texture.  The palette knife was much tool of choice on this painting.  I had to be careful not to mix up the colors once I put paint on the canvas...I could of easily created mud.  I was able to let the bold colors bounce off of each other.  This contemporary dragonfly is for sale.  Contact Kay for more information.  Thanks for looking at my blog.  Kay

Day #21 of the 30/30 Paint Challenge

Today's post is a canvas that I painted several months ago, and it is finally dry.  This dragonfly is abstract and colorful.  I love painting with the palette knife---pushing the paint around, scraping and building the layers up.  I am getting ready to do a palette knife demo this week, so that will be fun.  I have been working on projects in the studio, but don't have a new one to post today.  Thanks for looking....contact Kay for comments or questions.  Thanks, Kay
