Bull Headed, brahman bulls

"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.

Winter's Coming, fall landscape with stream

"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

"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

"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

"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

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.

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.

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.

Mountain Music, palette knife, lake landscape


"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!

Life's Balance, landscape, fall trees near a lake

"Life's Balance"

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. This lake was just down the road from her house. When I got back to Florida I used those little watercolor paintings to make this painting.

Butterfly Wishes, abstract palette knife painting

"Butterfly Wishes"
© Fawn McNeill 2009



About This Painting:
This is the first of a series of 4 palette knife butterflies I did a few years ago.


I wanted to make it look like it was moving quickly, so I used a painting knife for a more abstract effect. 

The symbolism is in the colors: green is for growth and wealth, orange is for warmth and open arms, and yellow is for joy.

This little painting is loaded with thick paint and bold colors. 

Enjoy!

Tootsie, horse portrait

"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

"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.

Abstract Oak Leaves, demo from O'keeffe

"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

"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.

Ends of the Earth, abstract sunset landscape

"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

"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.....
