Bunches of Love $245 8" x 8" Oil on RayMar Cotton Panel Contemporary Palette Knife Painting I was painting a large floral, and had mixed up some wonderful colors, and I didn't want to throw them out, so I picked up a small panel and painted Bunches of Love.  The texture on the flowers is evident with the thick paint.  I will frame this little still life painting up!  Contact  Kay  for purchasing info.  Thanks, KMW

At Last 24" x 12" Oil on Canvas Needs a frame. This still life painting was inspired by the beautiful violet tulips that were in the studio last week after the reception and exhibit for Lynn Rushton.  A celebration of Lynn's Master's Thesis brought so many of her friends and family together for a wonderful evening.  This floral arrangement was one of several that spoke to me...and so I am dedicating this painting to Lynn finishing her Master's Thesis.....At Last.  Feel free to contact  Kay  for more info on this painting.  Thanks, Kay

Joyful 18" x 24" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas Contemporary Still Life Painting This contemporary oil painting has been drying at the studio.  It is on a chunky (2 1/2") stretcher bar, and sides of the canvas are painted.  So frame is optional.  The colors are crisp and clean.  I was careful not to mix my oils too much, which could lead to the dreaded MUD.  The corals, oranges and rosey colors pop with the grey/blue background.  Hints of green, turquoise and whites make the florals come alive.  Contact  Kay  for more information on this painting.  Thanks for checking out this blog!  Kay

Impulsive 18" x 18" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas Contemporary Floral Landscape Yesterday, when I was at the  Dutch Art Gallery in Dallas, Texas  I was talking to a couple who admired this painting.  I said that it was a part of of a series that I have been work on - Floral Landscapes.  They thought it was an abstract with roosters in it.  So if that is what they see in this painting, it is an abstract rooster painting.  I see patches of color indicating wildflowers popping up in the landscape.  If you let your imagination run wild you could probably see something other than roosters or flowers.  I used alot of impasto, palette knives, brushes and cut-away tools with the oils on this painting.  Lots of texture.  Anyway, the reception for the juried art show, Pursuit of the Southwest was good.  Lots of people attended, and there were four or five paintings sold through out the day.  Thanks for looking at this blog....con...

Joyful 18" x 24" Oil on Heavy Duty Gallery Wrap Canvas Contemporary Still Life Painting I just completed this floral still life.  I wanted to use soft whites, corals, grey-blues, dusty lavenders, and some greens.  My inspiration for this painting was a small but beautiful floral arrangement that was sent to my daughter, Lindsay for college graduation.  Although it has been several years since graduation, the bouquet was worth photographing and using as a reference for painting in the studio.  The arrangement was so fresh and joyful....therefore, the title, "Joyful".  Thanks for looking at my this contemporary floral painting.  Contact  Kay  for more information on this painting.  Have a joyful day!  Kay
