Lake Side, sunlit shell, daily painting, by Fawn

"Lake Side"

5 x 7 inches

Acrylic on canvas panel

This is a fun little shell that was floating along and glowing in the sun. One of the shore birds here had just cleaned this one out.

Busy week, getting ready for Thanksgiving and all. Thought I would do a few small paintings this week. I may not get one posted everyday, but I will try. I will be out at a workshop on Saturday, so most likely wont have one that day.

Wanted to try this one again with a different color scheme. I added a wall behind the cactus and changed the growth pattern a little. I love the luminous quality of this piece.

Life's Journey, sunlit cactus,daily painting by Fawn

"Life's Journey"

9 x 12 inches

Acrylic on hardboard

(Ready to frame)
$700.00

This little cactus really caught my eye while I was at a garden painting last year. It has such interesting shapes and growth patterns. The sunlight just set it off like a jewel against the dark foliage. I got a couple of good photos of it, and now I have rearranged them slightly to create this composition.

This painting is symbolic for the twists and turns life brings our way, which bring about growth and character in us.

What caught my attention? The cool mist with the sun peeking through! I exaggerated the contrast in the colors and emphasized the shadows.

Rising Up Again, ocean sunrise, daily painting by Fawn

" Rising Up Again"

12 x 16 inches

Acrylic on canvas

SOLD

This painting was commissioned. It is similar to one I did a couple of weeks ago. The sky is a little different and this one is a smaller size. I also changed the bird and moved the horizon line down. This gives the same feeling of the first painting, but keeps it an original.

If you see something you would like in a different size or a different color scheme, please email me! Although I never make exact copies, I can do a similar painting for you.

Morning Blues, Beach, Sunrise, Daily Painting

"Morning Blues"

12 x 6 x 1.5

Acrylic on gallery wrap canvas

Sorry but the original is no longer available.

I really liked the effect of this odd size in a gallery wrap canvas. I pushed the colors here to create more mood. I wanted that early morning feeling. This is from the Bathtub Beach, in Stuart, Florida.

Thanks for looking!

"Supper Time"

Florida's Lion 2, Panther, Wildlife art by Fawn

"Florida's Lion 2"

9 x 12 inches
Acrylic on hardboard

SOLD

It was brought to my attention (by an art contest judge) that my perspective was off on my first painting like this. It may have been a little, but now after creating a whole new one, slightly larger, I don't think it was off too much at all. I really followed the photo more this time, taking less artistic license, at least in the anatomy. I still played around with the colors and the lighting, which I really like. I like the striking contrast of the first one, and the exaggerated angle of the head.

The thing I like most about this painting is the harmony of the colors, and the reflected light on the chest.

Summer Rockies, Daily Painting by Fawn

"Summer Rockies"

9 x 12 inches

Acrylic on hardboard

NOT AVAILABLE

Just finished this painting this morning. It is from a photo taken from my last trip out to my older brother's house. He lives 15 minutes from Glacier National Park in Montana. This brings back one of my fondest memories: when we were kids and our Mom took us up in the mountains for the first time. I think I was around ten. It was summer, and we had a snowball fight! I don't think my younger brother was as happy about it as I was, he didn't even like the snow in the winter time. I remember thinking that was the strangest thing, that there was snow in the mountains all year. . .

Momma's Boy, Foal, Animal Art by Fawn

"Momma's Boy"

15 x 21 inches

Watercolor

This is a painting I did back in 1996! I just came across it, and wanted to show it off. I was just beginning to use watercolors and acrylics after years of painting with oils and teaching classes in oils. I felt like I had really come a long way after I finished this one. It took me weeks! I painted every hair. . . click on the image to see the detail.

I was thinking about my boys, while I worked on this. We were abandoned by their Dad. They were around ten and twelve years old. I wanted to protect them and take away the hurt, I was helpless. And yet I know we only learn by experiencing the tough things. God loves us with such an intelligent love, turning the hard things around for good. This Bible verse really spoke to me:

"Can a woman forget her suckling child, that she should have no compassion on the son of her womb? Even these may forget, yet I will not forget you." Isaiah 49:15

Boat Trail, Lake Okechobee Lily pads, Daily Painting

"Boat Trail"

12 x 6 x 1.5 inches

Acrylic on Gallery-wrap canvas

(Sides are painted)

SOLD

This is about the in-between stuff. Instead of the lily pads being the main thing, I wanted the water in-between them to be the main thing. Does that make sense? I remember looking out at the endless lily pads and feeling like they just go on forever.

Up Date: This painting won a purchase award at Sebring's Art Festival! (11/10/07)

Kitty, Pet Portrait by Fawn

"Kitty"

5 x 7 inches

Acrylic on canvas panel

I was interested in the analogous color scheme of this kitty on the plush red rug. Her eyes have just enough green to give them good contrast. It made her look so soft and inviting.
