Angry Magpie NFS  16" x 8" Oil on RayMar Cotton Panel This is one of my son's favorite paintings...so I gifted it to him for Christmas. I think that this magpie has spunk and character.  Mixing my cool and warm greys was experimental and a good lesson on values.   The brush strokes are loose and deliberate giving this magpie a painterly look.  I was thrilled that Blake was very fond of this painting, as I will be able to see it knowing where it lives.   Our Christmas was very special with our youngest grandson coming home from the hospital on Christmas Eve.  Peter Thomas Henry is our Christmas miracle! It's hard to get a photo of these busy little guys, as Oliver and Charlie are on the move most of the time.  I have had lots of family time lately, and very little studio time---I have a new series of paintings that I can't wait to work on!  Thanks for looking at this blog...

Out On A Limb 12" x 36" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas This contemporary oil painting is fun and colorful.  All five songbirds are perched out on a limb, doing their own thing.  The size of this canvas is unusual...12" x 36" landscape is pretty long and narrow, and would great in a den, office or hallway.  It has a punch of color and would be a great addition to any wall or bookcase.  Contact  Kay  for purchasing information.  Thanks for looking at the art posted here...Kay

Out On A Limb 12" x 36" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas Contemporary Bird Painting by  Kay Wyne Day #6 of the  30 Paintings/30 Days with Leslie Saeta Hot off my easel....below you can see the progression as I placed the birds and limbs with a rough painting.  I wanted to placement to allow the viewer's eye to roam around and go from bird to bird.   Once I get the general placement of the subject matter on the canvas, I block in colors.  Using large brushes, I can cover lots of space quickly. More color, not alot of details yet.  Layers and layers of oils go on.... More paint and more paint.  I wanted a colorful and painterly piece...more paint. And More color...setting the eyes in the birds were some of the last touches.  More layers especially in the nest, but trying to stay loose with my strokes. Thanks for looking at the art posted here....more paintin...
