Angela's Moleskine by Kay Wyne

Aspens for Angela

Texas Moleskine Round-Up

Here's a shot of Angela's painted Moleskine....I thought an abstract aspen painting in bold colors with lots of layers would be something different in her book. I am the last artist to paint in her book, and it is filled with wonderful paintings!!! Lots of doggies. No aspen trees.....so here you go Angela. This painting is fun, colorful, and bold.....just like you!!! Thanks so much for starting this Moleskine project...it is a great way to get to know other artists and to be challenged. I am using clothespins to keep the wet pages flat....it will take a while for this to dry. That will give me time to title this piece....all for Angela!!! Kay

Colors of Fall by Kay Wyne for Jean Townsend

"Colors of Fall"

For Jean from Kay 

Kay's detritus palette.

Here is my post for Jean....her topic, DETRITUS was a challenge for me.  I thought and thought about it, and decided to use my detritus on my palette to start her painting.  I have a habit of immediately starting a new painting with my left-over paints when I finish a painting.  I had been working on a large rooster, and decided that I would take the detritus of my palette, and go through the detritus of my vacation to Jackson Hole.  I had flyers, photographs, ticket stubs and all kinds of odds and ends.  I decided that the landscape of Wyoming was so beautiful that I would paint some aspens for Jean.  So, Jean's moleskine is drying...it may take a while since I used the palette knife on the tree trunks.  I painted this on the first day of fall, Sept. 23, 2011, thus the title, "Colors of Fall".  I hope that you enjoy your moleskine posts.....Artfully yours, Kay and her detritus palette.
