Passing Through, rainbow landscape, knife painting




"Passing Through"

The first one like this was on watercolor paper for my kid's summer art classes. The inspiration came from Van Gogh. It was done with a paintbrush and didn't have much detail.  I liked the idea, however, and painted it again on hardboard with a palette knife.  Lots of fun!  Then some of my older students painted one like it with a palette knife too. I added the butterflies to finish it up.

Thanks for looking!

Flutter By, landscape with butterfly

"Flutter By" 

Created as a class demonstration from one of my student's photos. I left out some of the flowers, and exaggerated the hills. I also placed the butterfly at a different angle.  This  is one of the few demos that turned out nice right off the bat.  Didn't have to add very much to it to finish it up.

Rollin Through, mountain landscape with barn


"Rollin' Through"

Originally a demonstration painting for my adult class, but I changed it quite a bit when I started adding details.  Got caught up in some good memories of a place I saw in the mountains near my grandmother's house.  My friends and I rode horses in the Rockies, and this looks a lot like one of the driveways we passed on the way. I remember watching the clouds move up along the sides of the mountain and thinking how cool that looked!

Enjoy!

Ready to frame.

"Another Piece of Paradise"

This is the third painting in this series of large sunsets.  It is symbolic for the journey we are on.  Many times we come through the dry and harsh places before we find a season of beauty that is overwhelming. Maybe we wouldn't have recognized it if we hadn't struggled to find better things.

This is a palette knife painting, full of texture and bold color.  I added horses running in the distance as a celebration of life.


Enjoy!

Up to Zero, winter mountain landscape

"Up to Zero"
© Fawn McNeill 2013

Memories of living in Montana with my my Grandmother, who loved to say, "It's up to Zero today!"  This always got my attention because I had just moved back in with her after living in the tropics for almost 5 years! 

This started as a demo for an art lesson. It was created from different photos and memories.  I love the warm and cool contrasts.

Tested, old barn after a storm


"Tested"

This one started as a demonstration for a beginners class last spring.  Love the mood it sets. 

My demos are done for follow-along classes.  Sometimes we use my pictures, or pictures that my students bring in. Sometimes we use art books or calendars.  We do not copy exactly from the image.  We move things around.  I encourage them to use their own colors, add more trees, flowers, birds, or whatever they want.  I love they way they all look a little different at the end of class.

Paradise at Sunset, Florida landscape with wildlife

"Paradise at Sunset"

This painting is the second in a series I started this summer.  I created them both from memory.  The animals are free-handed onto the canvas after I practice drawing them on paper first.  This time I reversed things and brightened the sky. Also included deer, egrets, turkey, hogs, and a gator. This is a truly original painting.  Most of mine are (unless I am doing one for a client that wants something from their photos).  I use my own images and /or my own sketches and free-hand everything.  Many artists today copy from photos, literally.  They get enlargements trace it off -- and sometimes it is not even their own photos!  You can read more about that by clicking here.

Make a Joyful Noise, oriole song bird with flowers

"Make a Joyful Noise"


This oriole is the third in a tryptic I did quite a while ago.  Just made it available in print.  

Titled it based on a song my youth group used to sing, from the Bible.  Psalms 100: Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye, all ye lands! Bless the Lord, the Lord with gladness, and come into his presence with singing, for the Lord, the Lord is good and it is He that hath made us.........

Falling Fast, waterfall


"Falling Fast"
© Fawn McNeill 2013

This started as a demo for my adult class. Didn't have time to work on it much during class as I was helping my students, so I worked on it later.  I got carried away with the details when I finished it up! 

I love the shadows in the rushing water. 

I know put in too many hours, but I enjoyed it. I love it when I get lost in that timeless zone and lose track of time!
