Artists Of Texas Contemporary Paintings and Art

Finish Line 16" x 12" Oil on Canvas Contemporary Equine Painting The race is on!  I haven't painted a racehorse painting for a couple of years, and thought it was time to revisit the subject matter of the horse.  I wanted to express the strength and speed of horses at the finish line in this painting.  I didn't get fussy with the details, and put the jockeys in colorful silks.  This painting does need a frame, and it will be entered in a spring show.  Thanks for looking at this blog...contact  Kay  for more information on my art.  I will be back in the studio working on a commission this week.  KMW

Finish Line 16" x 16" Oil on Canvas Sold Contemporary Equine Painting This painting was painted several years ago, and I was looking at it because I have two equine paintings on my easel right now.  I need to put the finishing touches on them.  Today is  Day 20 of the 30 Paintings in 30 Days , and although it might appear that I have not been painting ---- I have.  I have forgotten to take my camera to the studio, and need to finish up everything that I am working on.  Thanks for looking at the art posted here....Contact  me  for more info on my art.  Thanks, Kay

Spirit of the Race 30" x 30" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas Contemporary Spirited Horse Painting This painting was inspired by a photograph that I took at the Lone Star Race Track in Grand Prairie, Texas. It was a very warm and sunny day, and all of the jockeys in colorful jerseys really caught my eye. There were seven horses out of the gate on this race, but I decided to focus on two horses for this painting. I had the starting gates painted in, but decided that the background needed to leave more to the imagination of the viewer's eye. I did not want to give away too much information. So, I focused on the horses and the energy on the track. I used wide brushes, oil pastels sticks and the palette knife. Close-up. This painting is too wet to move off the easel. I will take a better photograph of it in natural light once it dries. Thanks for looking at my art.....Kay at 214-532-0325

The Inside Track Oil on Canvas 24" x 30" $900 I finished this painting. Normally I paint odd numbers of objects or subject matter in my paintings, but four horses seemed to work for me on this canvas. I did have some horses in the background at one time, but decided to blurr the background completely. Initially I had the starting stalls in the background with roof and sky painted in, but I changed my plans. The horse with the green blinker on the inside track is in the lead. This painting conveys the energy, excitement, and competitiveness of the horse race. This painting is for sale and is hanging at The Dutch Art Gallery in Dallas, Texas. Thanks for viewing this blog. Please contact me if you are interested in this painting that is fresh off the easel! Kay at 214-532-0325 or kay@kwyne.com .

Neck & Neck Oil on 32" x 30" Gallery Wrap Canvas This painting will go to The Wine Therapist Exhibit(if it is dry enough!)This painting is fast and furious...lots of color, engergy and movement on the canvas. I wanted the viewer to keep looking at the horses...trying to decide which one is in the lead. It is close. I just finished and signed it today. I hope to put it in Studio Art & Soul's upcoming show. More details on the artists' reception and show. I hope that you had an artful day....I did! Kay@kwyne.com 214-532-0325
