Good evening!

Here is a peak at the four drawings that I worked on to figure out what would go in the four paintings I am planning for slides. Each time I apply to a show, I need to send either slides or digital images of my work for review - anywhere from 3 to 4 different pieces. I have a very short time frame (like seconds) to impress the jury to give me a high enough score to get in. This time I thought it might be neat if I showed my versatility in the landscapes I paint but have them relate to each other. It will seem as though the same scene has been split into 4 canvases. Next step... paint!

Until next time...

Good Afternoon and welcome to the studio of Amy Kaye Taylor! I have been making good use of the studio these past couple of days. I have been mostly in planning mode with lots of sketching but some painting as well. In any case I have plenty to share. I realized I didn't show you the rest of my shadow on the 40 x 60 so that is what we are looking at today. I touched the white this morning and I am still waiting for it to dry completely before I work on the final cloud layer. In the winter, the drying process takes much longer. I will need to be really patient!! I have a couple more paintings to plan before I mix new paints. I will share a couple of my sketches next.

Until next time...

Hello! One last look before Christmas arrives. This is the finished Mountain commission I was working on. She picked it up yesterday and is in love! It really turned out quite nice. I'll be back next week to work some more on new projects for the new year.

Merry Christmas!

Until next time...

Hello.

Here is a finished look at the roses we were following at one point. I wired them so that they would hang on the diamond point. They were each 10 x 10 inches. They were a nice change of pace but I must admit, I am glad to be painting clouds again!

Until next time...

Good Afternoon!

Amy Kaye Taylor does exist! Wow! I've been away for way too long. Well, I have some things to share finally. I finished a couple commissions and started on my new line a little. I can share some photos regarding those paintings. The one we are looking at now is the start of a new 40" x 60" painting. It will be a river scene. I have the clouds and the tree line laid in - I still have to put the river and foreground grass in for the first layer. This layer can dry over the Christmas holiday and then I can slowly work on details when I get back. Stay tuned, I'm going to share a couple finished pieces next.

Until next time...
