Artists Of Texas Contemporary Paintings and Art

Little Red Rooster 12" x 12" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas Rooster and Chicken Series This small painting is loose, colorful and playful. Thick paint was applied with a filbert --- you can see globs of oil and the paint oozing onto the canvas.  I had originally painted a rooster who was stiff, and looked like a statue, so I totally repainted him and had fun doing so. This painting is available for sale. Contact  Kay  for purchasing info. Have an artful day...Kay

First Rooster 20" x 16" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas Contemporary Rooster Series I am in the studio these days working on a commission, and took a break to paint this fun rooster.  It's 2017 --- The Year of the Rooster.  This is my first rooster to paint this year, so I named it "First Rooster".  Using a large filbert brush, I scrubbed over an old painting, so there are colors peaking through.  I did not go into any details with this colorful rooster---I used generous amounts of straight paint (no medium) so some of the brush marks are thick, others are thin.  This painterly rooster is drying in the studio, but will be looking for a new home!  Contact  Kay Wyne  for more info.  Thanks for looking...KMW

Georgie Boy 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

Quatro! 36" x 36" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas Contemporary Rooster Painting This is a fun and loose painting...when I started out, I had an idea in my mind of what I wanted the four images to be.  The first thing I did was put out some neutral colors for the background.  I usually use bright, bold colors so I had to keep telling myself that something neutral would make the roosters pop off the canvas.  I used some ink to produce some lettering.  I had five shades of grey ink that I used.  Then I started with some lines and geometric shapes.  Then the fun part.....I started with a wide brush and put in an outline on each rooster....I was afraid that I would over-paint this, so I forced myself to put the brushes down and go home.  The next day I used a liner to suggest the details of each rooster...and I did not want each one to be the same....so, here you go.  Quatro!  Contact  Kay  for purchasing info...
