"Hill Country Treasures" by Kyle Wood

SOLD

"Hill Country Treasures" by Kyle Wood

11" x 14" Oil on Canvas

What a great day I had at The Dutch Art Gallery on Saturday, May 18th!  I was scheduled to do a oil painting demo and had no idea what kind of traffic we were going to have.  Luck would have it, that a true value hardware store in the same shopping center as the Gallery was having a grand opening celebration.  The parking lot was jamb with cars and we managed to draw in some first time visitors to the Gallery.

This painting was placed in a silent auction and was sold to the highest bidder.  Also, I managed to sell five other paintings of mine.  Two of them were miniatures that I had brought in and they sold fairly quickly.  Those who came into the gallery, got to watch me paint and I received many compliments on my work.

Overall, it was quite an eventful, a rare treat to sell multiple works in one day!

"Spring Majesty" by Kyle Wood

"Spring Majesty" by Kyle Wood

4" x 5" Oil on Canvas

Here is one of my recent works that I completed within the last few weeks.  I find small paintings to be a great springboard activity for coming up with ideas and compositions for larger paintings.  Once you have a thumbnail or two worked out, it makes it easier to transition to larger painting.  If you are interested in purchasing this piece, please contact me.

"Spring Radiance" by Kyle Wood

"Spring Radiance"

40" x 52" Oil on Gallery Wrap Panels

Commission Piece

Here is my latest oil painting that I have been working on for several weeks now.  This is a piece that I was commissioned to do for a client through The Dutch Art Gallery in Dallas, Texas.  The client loved the colors in one of my existing pieces at the gallery and wanted me to paint a larger painting. We both met and talked and decided to paint a triptych on gallery wrap panels.  Before finalizing the design, I did a couple of sketches and few color studies (One in Spring Colors and the other in Fall).  The client liked the Spring Colors, so this is what we ended up painting!  Overall, the painting was fun and it was great experience getting to do a commission.  Enjoy!

"Evening Melody" by Kyle Wood

"Evening Melody" 11" x 14" Oil on Canvas

Here is my latest oil painting on my easel. I titled this one "Evening Melody" because of the rhytmatic pattern that is going on in the sky and ground. It seems as though one is playing the melody of a song, while the other is harmonizing. Both are required in order for the song to be full and complete. For this painting, I chose to paint a familiar subject of mine, but with little more drama and mood. I wanted to play with color to see where it would take me. I love how the mixture of the warm red Indian Paintbrushes radiant warmth against the cool Bluebonnets and green grasses in the foreground. Even the sky is very dramatic with rich lavenders, pinks, and oranges against the soft blue sky peeking out behind the clouds. Complimentary colors (red & green; blue and orange) were used to create unity and harmony throughout the painting. Overall, it was fun painting and look forward to painting other variations that play with color.

Also, I will be having an exhibit at The Clarksville Fine Art Festival on Saturday May 28th from 9:00 to 4:00 PM. Clarksville is located East of Paris, Texas, on Highway 82. It is approximately 2 and 1/2 hours Northeast of the DFW metroplex.

Enjoy and have artful day!

"Mission San Juan" by Kyle Wood

"Mission San Juan" - 12" x 16" Oil on Canvas

Here is my interpretation of Mission San Juan, one of the five missions along the San Antonio River in San Antonio, Texas. Painting is based on photos that I took, while I was there. I combined my interest in historical architecture with my passion for Texas Wildflowers, especially our State Flower - The Bluebonnet. Yuccas and other types of vegetation were added for interest and variety, which are very common in this region of Texas.

This painting is available for sale. If interested in purchasing, please contact me at kwoodtexasart@yahoo.com.

"Morning Break" by Kyle Wood

"Morning Break" - 22" x 28" Oil on Canvas

"Morning Break" is another one of my oil paintings inspired for all the trips that I have taken over the years through the Texas Hill Country. The Hill Country region of Texas is such a serene and relaxing area to visit. During many Spring Seasons, when Fall & Winter moisture has been abundant, the fields can become quite colorful with wildflowers. For this painting, I chose to do an early morning scene with sun peaking out behind the clouds. Complementary colors are being used quite frequently here with lots of purples next to yellows and oranges next to blues. For more variation, I mixed in some indian paintbrushes, which are typically reddish-orange in color with the vibrant bluebonnets. The water in the ruts of the road suggest that it has just rained. The clouds are beginning to break away so that the sun can shine down into the valley and the field of vibrant wildflowers. What a wonderful place to be on a spring morning.
