Framed in a wide gold frame, ready for a new home.  This rooster was spotted on a Chicken Coop Tour in Dallas.  He is bold and beautiful, full of personality.  He would make a great conversation piece in a kitchen or game room.  Painted with a wide brush and palette knife, this painting would make a great Christmas gift!  Contact Kay for more information.  Thanks, KMW

Sunshine by Kay Wyne

Sunshine

10" x 10" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

Contemporary Rooster Series

This small rooster is dry now and ready for a new home.  I think Sunshine would look great on a kitchen wall or sitting on a countertop.  I painted this colorful rooster so that he is nestled in the grass, and pops with the contrasting black background.  I used a wide flat bright brush all the way on this fine feathered friend...you can see the spontaneous strokes in the grass and the feathers.  Contact Kay for more info on Sunshine.  Thanks for looking at this blog.  Kay

Contemporary Rooster Painting

This is George, the mascot of Gecko Hardware in Lake Highlands.  He has several first place premium blue ribbons from the Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo and the State Fair of Texas for best Orpington.  I have used him as a model for several paintings.  This one is hanging at Dutch Art Gallery in Dallas, Texas.  Now that George has a egg-laying chicken with him at Gecko, there will be more chicks to paint!  Thanks for looking at this blog...Kay

Kaleidoscope Rooster by Kay Wyne

Kaleidoscope Rooster

18" x 18" Oil on Heavy Duty Gallery Wrap Canvas

Contemporary Rooster Painting

This caged up rooster wants a new home.  He is colorful and full of personality as he is perched in his cage.  He was painted with thick strokes of oils, giving the canvas texture along with colorful energy.  My painting was loose and expressive, and the color palette was a bit different for me...just pushing myself to paint outside of the box.  I certainly didn't put any limitations on myself.  The canvas is a bit abstract and playful with the bright and contrasting colors vibrating against each other.  This painting is ready to hang...framing is optional, as the sides of the canvas is painted. Contact Kay for more information on this contemporary painting.  Thanks for looking.....KMW

Flamboyant Feathers by Kay Wyne

Flamboyant Feathers

10" x 10" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

Contemporary Rooster Series

I just pulled this colorful guy off the easel, and he is drying in the studio.  This rooster was so much fun to paint, with almost every color on my palette on the canvas...I kept the lines disjointed, loose, all with different size brushes.  I started with a dark background (my new thing) which makes the foreground pop.  Flamboyant Feathers is for sale....contact ME for more info on this guy.  Framing is optional...he looks good as is, and ready for a new home.  Thanks for looking, Kay  p.s.  there might be a little glare on the right side of this photo...I may need to retake.

Sunshine by Kay Wyne

Sunshine

10" x 10" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

Contemporary Rooster Painting

I have been experimenting with dark backgrounds, and this rooster pops with such a dramatic contrast.  I named this rooster Sunshine because of all of the colors in his feathers and comb.  He reminds me of a colorful sunny day.  The sides of the canvas are also painted black, so a frame is not necessary.  Contact Kay for purchasing info...Sunshine is drying at the studio before he takes off.  

Georgie Boy by Kay Wyne - Sold

Sold

12" x 12" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

Contemporary Rooster Painting 

George has flown away from Dutch Art Gallery, and I am thrilled to report that he has a new home!  Thanks to gallery owner Pam Massar for selling Georgie Boy to a Dallas collector.  George is a handsome Buff Orpington rooster, and is the mascot at our local Gecko Hardware Store in Lake Highlands.  I painted this 12" x 12" canvas several months ago in the gallery with George sitting on the counter.  I wanted to get his beautiful feathers and full body in this painting.  I loved layering the paint to get a full-chested and fluffy George on canvas using my palette knife.  Thanks for looking at my blog...I guess I need to paint another Georgie soon!  Kay

Big Guy by Kay Wyne

Big Guy

30" x 30" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

Contemporary Palette Knife Painting

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

Painted on a heavy-duty 2 1/2" thick gallery wrap canvas, this rooster is looking for a new home.  As you can see in this pic, the sides are painted and a frame is not necessary.

Through out most of the painting, the paint was applied with thick, bold strokes with the palette knife.  The application of paint created texture on the canvas.  This contemporary rooster was named Big Guy because of his imposing stance.  The rooster is bold and bossy, and would be a conversation starter in any room.  Contact Kay with any questions or comments.  Thanks for looking at this blog!  Kay

Gertrude is a small chicken painted on a panel.  I used a new Monarch Bright #10 on this painting...there is nothing like painting with a new brush!  It was really cold and windy outside, so I don't feel like I got a great photo...will need to re-do that.  Her comb is heavy and falling off the canvas.  Contact Kay for info on Gertrude.  Thanks for looking...Kay

Today is Day # 23 in the 30 Paintings/30 Days Challenge

This colorful and fun chickie is my neighbor, and lives in the Dallas city limits, just across the alley.  I thought her comb was interesting, and I like the way it flops to one side...kind of like a comb-over.  I need to ask my neighbors what her name is.  This painting is drying at the studio, but if you would like to give The Comb-Over a new home, contact Kay.  Thanks for looking at my art, and good luck to all the artists participating in the painting challenge.  We are more than 3/4 of the way finished with Leslie's challenge!  Kay

Red Rooster by Kay Wyne

Contemporary Rooster Painting

$75

Day #10 in the 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge

This little rooster --- even though he is called Big Red, has bold brushstrokes, and is a very simple painting.  You can see the strokes on the cotton panel.  It was way too cold for me to go outside and photograph-I usually take all of my pics in natural light outside the studio.  So there is a little shine on the panel.  I have a shorthorn started and he is sitting on my easel...I can't wait to get to the studio today to work on him.  Thanks for looking at this blog.  Contact Kay with any comments or questions.  KMW

30 Paintings in 30 Days - Day 8 - with Leslie Saeta

This panel is ready to be framed up or sit on an easel.  These two colorful chicks are curious about something...and they are looking at each other, ready to have a conversation about it all.  I used one brush on this painting...a #10 Monarch Bright.  One of my favorite brushes.  I got going in the studio with my daily paintings, and roosters and chickens are so much fun.  So I have several sitting on my easel. Thanks for looking at my art.....Kay

Rooster by Kay Wyne

Rooster

24" x 24" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas

Contemporary Rooster Series

I just finished this rooster after working on it for several months.  I would work on him, and then get pulled away to do something else.  He is standing in tall grass, looking for a new home.  This is on a gallery wrap canvas, so framing is not necessary.  I need to give this guy a name, but it just hasn't happened.  Let me know if you have any suggestions for a good name for this rooster.  This is day 7 of the 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge with Leslie Saeta.  Be sure to check out all of the neat art posted on her blog.  Thanks for looking at this blog...have an artful day.  Kay Wyne
