White Ibis with Lilies, wildlife art

2012-02-02T20:49:00.004-05:00

"White Ibis with Lilies"

Painted from photos I took at White City Park last year. Quite a challenge to paint the negative spaces and leave the ibis. I get into a slow and methodical state of mind when working in watercolors, totally opposite of acrylics.

Art Show

2012-01-31T07:28:00.009-05:00

Had a rough start, spilled coffee all over my shirt first thing in the morning, before the show began. Can you believe that I didn't even think to bring an extra one? Will have to add that to my list for next year......

Anyway, I went in the bathroom to take off the outer shirt thinking I would leave my white tank shirt on that I had underneath..... But the worst of the coffee was on the undershirt. So I took off both shirts and rinsed as much of the stains out as I could, and wore the cold and wet shirt (on my right side) that you see in the picture above. Then I hung the white tank-top shirt up in my car.

I did have a jacket I wore for a little while. Thank Goodness I wasn't set up out in the cold windy morning!

How embarrassing!

The rest of the day went well, and I even won a ribbon. It is not a first place, or is it? It is called The Parrish award, in honor of Grady Parrish, who selected an artist each year for environmental awareness in their art. It came with a nice cash prize as well, so I was happy!

Back to the studio!

Fall's Splendor, landscape with deer and eagles

2012-01-26T12:35:00.007-05:00

"Fall's Splendor"

Acrylic on canvas

12 x 16 inches

Painted this scene from plein air studies (done on location) and pictures I took a few years ago. I added the deer from memory, and the eagles as well. Really enjoyed creating all the warm colors contrasting with the cool gray and blue hues.

Up-coming Lake Placid show

2012-01-25T07:10:00.010-05:00

"Firce Beauty"

Best of Show

20 x 20 inches

Gallery Wrap Canvas

I am excited to go back to Sebring, Florida, where the Lake Placid Art League is holding their annual show! (This photo is from last year.) This is one of the shows I love to do, because they have an indoor option if you don't want to set up a tent.

The hardest part is that I am by myself. I have found that setting up a tent, putting my work at risk in the elements, and sitting all day (without being able to even use the bathroom) are all more than enough reasons to limit myself to indoor shows and gallery events!

Come see me on Saturday at the Civic Center on Hwy 27 south of Sebring, Florida. I'll be indoors at booth number 21. Yay!

Hope to see you there!

Rocky Edge, bushes on a rocky shore

2012-01-21T20:20:00.009-05:00

"Rocky Edge"

I was attracted to the contrast of the cold rocks against the warm glow in the little bushes. I also like the harsh edges of the rocks against the soft feeling of the water.

Trying some new techniques. This is a watercolor painting, done with many layers of professional color on acid free paper. Had to start over completely because the colors are not easy to control and I lost the bright highlights in the first attempt.

Enjoy!

On a personal note: I have been teaching more classes and painting less these days. I am also working on updating all my info as I have a new website and new gallery pages. I didn't realize that I have around 800 posts to update! Wow, that amazes me!

Also I want to thank all of my followers and collectors who have encouraged me over these past five years! It has been a great journey for me. It is not over, I just sense a need to move in a new direction. I am excited to see what is next!

Mud Bath, animal portrait, pig covered in mud

2012-01-10T07:02:00.013-05:00

"Mud Bath"

I had a blast splashing mud on this guy! I free-handed him onto the canvas and had him all pretty and white, but I just could not help my self. He his a pig after all! So I started with a few little spots of mud, and next thing you know, well, he was covered in it! Then I had to go back and clean him up a little so you could still see his eyes.....Too much fun.

The original is created on gallery wrap canvas. The painting continues on the sides, so framing is optional. I now have him available in cards and prints also.

Bull Headed, brahman bulls

2011-12-09T21:47:00.008-05:00

"Bull Headed"

About This Painting:
This one of my early works, done in oils. Did some new photography of it to make it available in print. I had originally titled it on the back "Bull Headed." For years I have called it "Stand Firm" and had some small prints made of it. The quality of my earlier prints do not compare to the clarity and color of this new series.

"Sunset Rocks"

About This Painting:
Had some fun adding egrets in the distance and the great blue heron to this older painting. Even painted an angel in the clouds!

This painting of Lake Okeechobee was done during the long drought we had a few years ago, most of this area (Nubbin's Slough) is full of water again.

Winter's Coming, fall landscape with stream

2011-11-29T12:03:00.004-05:00

"Winter's Coming"

This one came right out of an art instruction book for my adult class. I encourage using different colors, and moving things around some to make it more original. My students didn't like this one at first, but I really liked the change of colors, and the strong contrast it has.

Enjoy!

Hopeful Morn, misty sunrise, deer, eagles

2011-11-20T23:08:00.005-05:00

"Hopeful Morn"

This is an older painting that I believe I have never posted. It is a tribute to the Bald Eagle making a comeback in Florida. I have always loved the colors and the mood this painting sets. I took pictures of these eagles nesting at a ranch here in Okeechobee.

Enjoy!

Sweet Summer, mountain landscape with horses grazing

2011-11-15T20:05:00.007-05:00

"Sweet Summer"

Some of my memories of Montana. This is the Swede Mountain range, just across the street from my Grandmother's house. Rode horses with my friends in these mountains. There is a lookout tower at the top just off to the left of this scene. Nothing like good childhood memories.

Sandy Beach, demo, sand dune study, seascape

2011-11-12T06:21:00.008-05:00

"Sandy Beach"

Created this fun little beach study with my students last week. We took a look at how to use unusual shapes for the clouds, and then we spent a lot of time on creating sandy texture and splash in the water. We used 2 different images to paint this common scene. I especially like the highlights and shadows at the top of the dune.

2011-11-08T12:26:00.007-05:00

"Rock of Moses"

About This Painting:
Just experimenting with a palette knife and warm colors verses cool colors again. This one reminded me of water gushing up. I thought about the story of Moses in the hot dry land: when he struck the rock water came forth!

Spilling Over, abstract, palette knife, rainbow, landscape or waterfall

2011-10-30T05:57:00.012-04:00

"Spilling Over"

I might add an angel, but I wasn't sure which way to turn it. I signed it so that it could hang vertical or horizontal. I originally created it to hang horizontal with the green at the bottom and the rays of light shooting upwards. But when I turned it this way, it reminded me of sunlight hitting rushing water. Either way I could add an angel if someone wanted angels.

This was done alla prima (all at once in one session). It has wonderful thick texture and bold colors. Too much fun!

Enjoy!

Garments of Praise, azalea flower

2011-10-10T09:18:00.008-04:00

"Garments of Praise"

About This Painting:

Started as a simple monochromatic study in watercolors. Used only magenta, and a touch of black in the darkest shadows. The white of the paper creates the highlights and value changes. This was very time consuming and tedious, as I got lost in all the detail. This one turned into a very complicated project before it was over!

I love the contrast, not just in the values, but also in the abstract quality of the background against the very realistic petals of the flower. Makes it demand your attention.

The original is sold, but I would love to create something similar for you! I price my custom orders by size, and can use colors of your choice. Email me at: fmcneillbarr@gmail.com for more info.

Dinner Time, great egret in a pond of lilies

2011-09-26T09:31:00.004-04:00

"Dinner Time"

About This Painting:
This great white egret kept landing in front of me while I was painting en plein aire (out on location). He was very large, and fat! I think he (or she) wanted to pose for me. I did include him in some of the plein air paintings I did those couple of days. Then I painted a few of him in paintings like this that are done from the photos I took.

2011-09-17T19:45:00.006-04:00

"Momma's Boy"

About This Painting:
This is an older painting that I have never posted. This little guy was born when my boys were around 8 and 10 years old. I had worked with the dam before she got too big around to ride. I took tons of pictures and wanted to use watercolors to paint him, because of the abstract looking effects in the back ground. The image is cropped, the actual painting has more background to it.

Mountain Music, palette knife, lake landscape

2011-09-07T09:34:00.005-04:00

"Mountain Music"

I did a unit on Monet with my kids summer art class. So this demo was originally done in short choppy brush strokes, very similar to Monet's style. I liked the colors and wanted to finish it, but I wanted the mountains bigger and more rugged so I could add snow to them. Used a painting knife and started with the sky, and re-worked the whole thing just for the fun of it. I thought I would make it very abstract, but as I worked it became more and more detailed. A little of my obsessive quality shining through I suppose!

Enjoy!

About This Painting:
Stayed a few days at my sister's house in South Carolina a few years ago. Went out on a very cold morning, with frost everywhere, painting on location with watercolors.

Butterfly Wishes, abstract palette knife painting

2011-08-21T20:47:00.008-04:00

"Butterfly Wishes"

About This Painting:
First of a series of 3 palette knife butterflies I did a few years ago. I wanted to make it look like it was moving quickly, so I used a palette knife for a more abstract affect. The symbolism is in the colors: green is for growth and wealth, orange is for warmth and open arms, and yellow is for joy.

Enjoy!

This little painting is loaded with thick paint and bold colors. It is also available in fully customizable greeting cards and prints.

Ready to frame.

Tootsie, horse portrait

2011-08-06T09:51:00.007-04:00

"Tootsie"

About This Painting:
This filly belongs to one of my students. She and her sister have been painting with me for a few years now. Occasionally I get to go out to their ranch and take pictures of their horses, dogs, and cattle. The ride out (on the back of a four wheeler) was way more than I expected! A little too bumpy for this old gal! But it was worth it to see the huge bulls, and watch the horses chasing the cows.... They didn't even have cowboys on their backs! They would run towards them and circle around them. Way too funny. It was as if they wanted to aggravate them for no reason.

I am working on a portrait of one of the bulls. He was impressive!

I am also accepting orders for animal portraits. I can use your photos and change the background to fit certain color schemes.

Secret Stream, palette knife painting

2011-07-31T20:53:00.005-04:00

"Secret Stream"

About This Painting:
This one started as a path with pebbles and stones on the edges of it. Then it reminded me of one of many creeks I have crossed in Montana, so I added more rocks. I used a palette knife to get that sparkle effect of the water dancing down stream. Really fun to to create with a knife, because you never know what you will get in the end.

Enjoy!

Green Parrot, bird portrait

2011-07-27T16:42:00.006-04:00

"Green Parrot"

About This Painting:

Originally a study in analoguos greens with a compliment of red.

I drew this guy freehand, then did an under painting in black and white. Corrected quite a few errors as I painted the under painting. Then I went in with green and red glazes. I use Liquitex semi-gloss medium and varnish to thin the paint, after the under painting is dry. The thin layers of glaze makes him glow! Adding the red tuft by his beak was the best part because it draws your attention close to his eye. I also enjoyed the ruffled feathers.

"Taste and See"

This is one I did awhile ago, I have touched it up, and made a few corrections. I took pictures of the neighbor's foal in the early morning, then when I painted it, I exaggerated the lighting and the colors. I also used a loose approach and exaggerated the contrast.

Abstract Oak Leaves, demo from O'keeffe

2011-07-10T19:32:00.005-04:00

"Abstract Oak Leaves"

We looked at Georgia O'keeffe a week ago in my kid's summer art class. I had my students free-hand some interesting leaf shapes before we painted it in. Then we added some of our own colors too. Each student had a completely different painting by the time we got finished. I went back and finished mine out a few days later.

I also had them work on their own projects, zooming in on flowers and painting a similar style. We are having a great time!

Eternal Love, angels at sunset, knife painting

2011-07-09T20:41:00.006-04:00

"Eternal Love"

This is a custom order, taken from "Endless Love." This one was created with painting knives, while "Endless Love" was done with brushes on a smaller board. The knife gives it a more abstract look, as the blending technique isn't as soft. I like the energy the two angels seem to have between them.

My angel book (above) shares spiritual insights from scripture, as well as my inspirations and some techniques. I am so excited to finally have it published!

Moving On, sunset, landscape, rim canal

2011-07-08T19:10:00.005-04:00

"Moving On"

Started as a demo with distant hills and a large lake. I went back later and turned the hills into the dike around Lake Okeechobee. Completely made this up from memory. Then I added the rocky shore, palm tree, and birds. Finally I made the alligator swimming in the canal.

Ends of the Earth, abstract sunset landscape

2011-06-29T21:30:00.006-04:00

"Ends of the Earth"

Actually was inspired by my palette, the colors are arranged all around the edges with white in the middle, so it looks almost like a rainbow at times. I began with yellow, orange, and red first, then added some white. Then I worked around to greens and blues, and finally added the violet. Then I found myself adding water, and foliage, of sorts. The purple hues remind me of a shore line. This painting has wonderful texture from the wet in wet applications with a palette knife.

Enjoy!

Monet's Cliffs, impressionism seascape demo

2011-06-18T12:43:00.006-04:00

"Monet's Cliffs"

My kid's class choose this for our focus on art history, we didn't have time to add the women or more sailboats....but it was still very fun to challenge my students with a new way to paint. Some of them did not care for it at all and went back and smoothed out all the brush stokes! Others loved it and added more thick paint and broken strokes. I only gave them primary colors (plus white and black), so they had to add a little blue to the yellow to get shades of green, and I didn't let them mix the colors first, they had to mix it on the painting by overlapping the brush strokes! After a while some of my kids started mixing it first anyway. I laughed and told them that was fine, at least they tried it.....

Lake Place, mountain landscape

2011-06-14T10:37:00.008-04:00

"Lake Place"

Started as a demonstration from one of my student's photos. The photo was dark, so I brightened the whole thing up while we painted it. After I got home I decided it had great potential, so I changed some of it and added a shore line, more details, and darker reflections. Love the depth and distance, as well as the peaceful feeling it has.

Enjoy!

I saw a similar bear in Montana, but didn't get pictures of him. So when I was at a zoo shortly after that, I took lots of pictures of this bear in in a pool. I used my Montana pictures for the background. I added extra water, and lots of furry texture (which I love).

First Time for Everything, new foal running

2011-05-09T20:52:00.007-04:00

"First Time for Everything"

This little colt had a hard start, he got hung up with one hoof coming out the rectum, and one bent back the wrong way. The vet had to push him back in and then turn him the right way.... Needless to say, after they pulled him out, the mare was pretty torn up. So they spent the first four days in a stall because the mare couldn't move about yet. It was her first foal. So here he is on his fourth day of life, and this is his first race! The sun was going down and he was tearing up some ground! I got some great photos.

Each time the colt took off, the mare would call him back, and he would race right to her side, breathing hard. Then he would take off again! The mare could not run with him, and she didn't like it one bit, so she would call him back again. I just loved seeing how he would mind her everytime she called to him.

Lavender Lace, flowers bending in the wind

2011-05-04T09:58:00.012-04:00

"Lavender Lace"

This is an older painting from a series I did called "Lavender Sway." In that series some of the paintings became quite abstract. With this painting, however, I wanted to zoom in and capture the tiny lavender flowers up close.

Late Winter, palette knife landscape

2011-04-26T13:37:00.009-04:00

"Late Winter"

About This Painting:
This was actually a class demonstration, then I repainted it as a palette knife painting when I got it home. I added the palm trees and the reeds along with the birds after I built up the texture with a knife. I was thinking about the day I spent at the Adam's Ranch a couple of weeks ago. We get fall colors in the winter here in Southern Florida. So the colors of winter are still prevalent, even when the warmer spring weather arrives.

Enjoy!

Second Look, plein air Florida landscape

2011-04-19T11:45:00.007-04:00

"Second Look"

This is the third painting I did at the Adams Ranch a little more than a week ago. I had packed up most of my gear, and then looked back at this view from the other side of the path before I loaded up my easel. I was tired and ready to leave, but it was so beautiful, and I wanted to at least get this one started. So i went back and unloaded everything! Got a great lay-in, and almost finished it on location...... I touched up a few things and added a little more detail when I got home. I just love the way it turned out! They don't all go so well.

This is the right side of the path I posted last week. The spring actually runs all the way around the little hill in that painting (End of the Road).

Enjoy!

End of the Road, Florida landscape with natural springs

2011-04-11T08:45:00.008-04:00

"End of the Road"

Plein air painting I did at the Adams Ranch for Saturday's paint-out. The water actually runs all the way around the little hill. These natural springs are all over the ranch. Some of them have a sulfur smell to them, but this one didn't. The kite birds kept swooping down in front of me, and I was able to get some pretty good photos of them. It was cool and breezy too. What a perfect morning!

Enjoy!

Summer Sunset, lake demo landscape

2011-04-05T11:09:00.007-04:00

"Summer Sunset"

Fun little demonstration for one of my art classes last week. It was a study on trees and water. I darkened the shadows and added more detail yesterday.

Many of my demos end up sanded down and painted over so I can re-use the board for the next class, but sometimes they just need a little more time and detail to be a very nice finished piece. I have started using my professional paints and materials when I do demos, instead of the student grade paints and supports. This gives me the option to touch them up and offer them for sale, or use them for fund-raisers and gifts.

Rising Up, seagull at sunrise

2011-04-01T18:54:00.010-04:00

"Rising Up"

Painted this one a while ago from photos I took at the Fort Pierce Inlet. It was early morning, the wind was blowing so hard that the gulls could hardly fly at all. It reminded me how God helps us rise above the turmoil of life and always gives us a chance to start over with each new day.

One of my favorites. Lots of symbolism here. The cattle are a memory of the horses old job. He is headed for the shade of the trees to rest and enjoy the day.

About This Painting:
Painted this lively little painting from photos I took last fall at White City Park. I played up the impressonistic look of it with all the small strokes of loaded colors. I was very interested in the way the lilie pads looked so blue where the light isn't hitting them.

Frosted Palms, Florida landscape

2011-01-11T21:33:00.004-05:00

"Frosted Palms"

About This Painting:
We have had some hard freezes already this winter. On this particular morning, my car was iced over, and I don't even own an ice scraper to remove it from my windshield. I had to put the defroster on high heat to get a hole big enough to see through!

I saw this scene early that morning while driving just north of Okeechobee City, near Fort Drum, which is south of Orlando in the middle of the state. It was truly amazing! For the first hour of my drive everything was frost covered, and then the sun began to break through the patches of fog. Then everywhere the sun hit was a bright orange, and all the shadows were sparkling blue from the ice.

I used to live in Montana, so ice is not strange to me, it is just strange to see it on palm trees in Florida!

Heaven's Joy, seascape angel at sunset

2010-12-31T08:02:00.007-05:00

"Heaven's Joy"

About This Painting:
This is another one I did on watercolor paper. It is a harder support to work on, but nice for framing because it can be easily matted and put behind glass, even trimmed some if needed.

I painted the landscape from memories of Guam. We always had fantastic sunsets with intense colors. I added the angel for wishes of Joy.
