Taste of the NFL Commission - by Texas Artist Kay Wyne

Cheers to Twenty Years
Commission for Taste of the NFL
Mixed Media - 30" x 24" Gallery Wrap Canvas

“Cheers to Twenty Years” is a mixed media art piece exploring the purpose of The Taste of the NFL, the chefs, and events that have taken place in the past twenty years. It is a work of art celebrating the parties with purpose. The canvas tells the story of many memories past…ticket stubs, cookbook covers, wine labels, the thirty-two NFL teams, chefs, and the mission statement. The longhorn, bandana and map of North Texas add a Texas flavor to the canvas. A wine glass and confetti are reminders of parties past. Deep rich colors, lines, shapes and images allow the eye to move all over the canvas. I was truly inspired by the commitment and generosity of so many people who have been associated with this organization. My goal was to capture and celebrate the spirit of The Taste of the NFL on canvas.

It's Super Bowl time! Everyone in North Texas is getting ready for the Super Bowl. If you aren't familiar with Taste of the NFL, please go to their website...for twenty years they have been raising money to help support Food Banks. They put on a great party the night before the Super Bowl (yes, I get to attend with family and friends!!!) Here is the piece...and what has been really fun for me is to donate the art, meet so many fabulous people who are working towards one goal. Helping feed the hungry. Here is a press release on the artwork: http://www.kwyne.com/images/events/NR%20TNFL%20Artwork.FINAL.pdf

Transfusion by Kay Wyne

Transfusion
48" x 72" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas
This contemporary oil painting might be finished. Viewer John Kazlauskas suggested "Transfusion" for the title, and I think it fits. It is hard to see the texture and the paint built up on the canvas by the photograph. I managed to take it outside and photograph, then hang it pretty high in the studio...needs to get some drying time. I used several brushes, palette knives and scrapers to spread the paint. It has gone through alot of changes...I will let you know if I work on any changes. Thanks for viewing this blog!!

Abstract on my easel...by Kay Wyne

This 48" x 72" Gallery Wrap Canvas has loads of paint on it. I am not finished, but needed to give it a rest and let the paints firm up. I hung it at the studio yesterday, and will be able to view it from a distance. More painting to be done, but I do have a good start. Needs a title...any suggestions??? Have an artful day....Kay at 214-532-0325 or kay@kwyne.com

Aspens by Kay Wyne

Aspens...Untitled

I just finished these aspens today. They are on a 12" x 48" Heavy Duty Gallery Wrap Canvas...very tall and narrow. The oils are thick and buttery...it will take weeks for this to dry. I was inspired by a photograph taken by Sara Settles in Colorado...of course I added my own flair to the trees and landscape. I haven't had time to really think about the title for this painting...if you have any ideas, please let me know! Thanks for viewing this blog. Kay at 214-532-0325 or kay@kwyne.com

Horizon Series: Abstract 1027 by Texas Artist Kay Wyne

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

Rudy Rooster by Texas Artist Kay Wyne

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.
