"Make a Wish"©Fawn McNeill 2005
This is just one of the wonderful scenes along Arbuckle Creek, near Sebring, Florida. I have painted many pieces from my photos of this area.
This is part of a "drippy" series I experimented with. I've created 10 or so paintings that began with watered down acrylic paint which runs and bleeds similar to a watercolor painting. Then I added subjects and details with opaque acrylics.
I added the white horse as a tribute to my mother, who always told me to "Quick make a wish on that white horse!"
A squirrel sits on a branch, and I hid an osprey flying out of the tree. An anhinga dries its wings on a limb in the water as a gator slowly swims by.
The painting is sealed with acrylic semi-gloss varnish too restore the integrity of the paint quality. (The paints durability is compromised when it is thinned with water. If it is not properly sealed, the painting could easily be ruined if wiped with a damp cloth.)
