Sandy Beach, demo, sand dune study, seascape

"Sandy Beach"
Acrlic on hardboard
9 x 12 inches
Not available

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.

Rock of Moses, abstract knife painting

"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!


Enjoy!

Mama's Baby, manatees

"Mama's Baby"
© Fawn McNeill 2011



Many layers of colors were used to get this cool effect under the water. Thoroughly enjoyed myself!
I drew the sketches on paper first (free-hand) Then drew my final choice onto the canvas, I used the paint thin and transparent for the first few layers. Matte medium is a great way to thin the paint without jeopardizing the integrity of the paint.

This painting was created as a custom order. I am currently accepting orders. Can work from your photos, prices are by size. 

Media: acrylic on hardboard
Size: 11 in X 14 in (27.9 cm X 35.6 cm)
Sorry, the original is not available.
Prints may be available.

Garments of Praise, azalea flower

"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.

ICU, great horned owl

"ICU"

This is a custom order. I used pictures that my clients sent to me, but the flash had made the eyes all white and reflective, so I did research to create the eyes. The owl was injured and they took it to a refuge to see if they could save it. Sadly he didn't make it.


Media: acrylic on canvas
Size: 11 in X 14 in (40.6 cm X 30.5 cm)

Dinner Time, great egret in a pond of lilies

"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.
