Merry Christmas!

Just a little mixed media watercolor I did for fun.  Drew it in pencil, then painted the colors, added some salt for the cool effects in the sky. I used extra fine sharpies for the words, after the painting dried of course!

Enjoy!

King of the Hill, winter sunrise

"King of the Hill"

© Fawn McNeill 2008

This little original painting was a study on complementary colors. I  used Ultramarine Blue, and Cadmium Orange (the complement or contrast to blue), and White. The white and orange make a nice peach glow, and the light blues set it off. The dark blackish colors were made by mixing orange and blue with no white. (For gray hues, add white). Amazing to see the variety of colors created with this limited palette.  

Thought maybe I should add angels, or splatter for falling snow.  What do you think?

Enjoy!

Inlet Shore, plein air, Florida landscape

"Inlet Shore"

© Fawn McNeill 2009

Challenging little Plein Air Painting (done on location) in Fort Pierce.  Little Jim's Bait Shop is located just to the right of this scene. 

The wind kept blowing things over, and the lighting changed drastically several times with the clouds blowing through. Had to paint fast and stick with the plan, because you cannot keep changing the painting to keep up with the changing elements.  

I like the way I captured the wind and choppy water.  

The sea grapes were finished later, back in the studio. The pelicans were added later also.  There were more pelicans fishing that day than what I painted.

Enjoy!

Rocky Edge, shore line,watercolor

"Rocky Edge"

© Fawn McNeill 2012

What captured my attention?  The negative spaces and contrasts for sure, but originally I was attracted to the cool color temperatures in the rocks playing against the warm glow in the little bushes. I also love the contrast of the hard rocks against the soft water.  

 I love it when life grows in the middle of hard places.  Somehow the plants overcome the lack of soil, and they grow anyway.  Kind of like people from a cold hard life who turn out to be dynamic and inspirational even when they had very little help.

This is an original watercolor painting. I created it with many layers of professional color on acid-free paper. 

Enjoy!

"No more Tears"

© Fawn McNeill 2005

This is the last of my "drippy" series.  I did ten or so of these a few years ago. I like the contrast of the somewhat abstract background with realism added over the top.

It is symbolic on so many levels. 

The most obvious comes from a Bible verse (Rev 21:4) that says He (Jesus) will wipe the tears from our eyes in heaven.

The fawn is my name sake, so it represents me on a path to better things.  

The path is about choices and free will.  I have made my share of regretful journeys.

The drips and runs are all about tears and sorrow bringing about growth.  I poured my heart and my sorrows into this series for many months.  Then I got it all out and moved on!

The mountains represent the good things in life, and heading for higher places spiritually.  Better choices.

The angels in the mountains represent the spiritual battle.  One of the angels is praying, and one has a shield and sword.  They fight for us!

Using acrylics this thin jeopardizes the integrity and quality of the paint, so the finished painting must be sealed with at least 2 coats of acrylic sealer.  I prefer a semi-gloss, which I make by mixing two thirds gloss medium and varnish (Liquitex) with one third matte medium.  

 (I started a palette knife series with bold strong colors and thick textures after this painting.)

Healing Waters, stream with flowers

"Healing Waters Again"

(original class demo)

Created this for the kids summer art program last June (2016).  We used it to create knife paintings.  (This painting was not done with a palette knife.)  Students toned their canvases with base colors of browns and blues with a large flat brush first, then added colors over the top with a knife.  It was a great lesson in texture.

Lead Me to the Rock, sunset, rocky shore, seascape

"Lead Me to the Rock"

© Fawn McNeill 2016

original demo

(Prints are available with or without scripture)

Did this as a demo during class, we made it up as we went along, which is challenging but fun.  Started with titanium white, cadmium yellow, and a small amount of naphthol crimson. 

First, we painted the center of the canvas (mixing on the canvas), then added some naphthol crimson with white for the clouds (which needed more yellow mixed in). 

Then we mixed dioxazine purple and ultramarine blue with white for a nice temperature (cool) contrast. We let it dry and then added a second layer. 

The black was painted last, it has bits of orange and green mixed in.  

This is a great lesson on blending and mixing. Hint: use small amounts of darker colors, as they will eat up the light colors.

Green Parrot, pet portrait

"Green Parrot"

©Fawn McNeill 2008

I drew this guy freehand, then did an under painting in black and white. This was a study in complimentary colors.  Corrected quite a few errors as I painted the under painting. Then I went in with green and red glazes (added Liquitex semi-gloss medium and varnish to make a transparent glaze) after the under painting was dry. It made him glow.  Adding the red tuft on his head was fun too.

Quenching the Darts, Abstract, knife painting, faith and prayer

"Quenching the Darts" (Ephesians 6:16)

© Fawn McNeill 2008

Just made this palette knife painting available in prints and cards! 

This original knife painting was done alla prima (all in one session) which creates unique mixtures of color and thick texture.  Usually they are fun and exciting to create.  This one, however, came from frustration and cries for mercy.

I cried out to the Almighty as I struggled through marriage problems, (which we didn't know was due to my husband having hydrocephalus and a tumor in the back of his ear canal that was growing into his brain.)  Just a few months later he had the first of two brain surgeries, and he is doing well now.  We have overcome huge obstacles.  I am grateful for the lessons learned and the peace that the Lord gives even in the midst of the struggles.

Dawn's Light, impressionism, palms

"Dawn's Light"
© Fawn McNeill 2008

I painted this alla prima, all in one session. Wet-in-wet, fast and loose . . . so fun to do. Very impressionistic. I saw this little palm tree glowing in the early morning sun, the shadows where intensified by the light. It was so beautiful to me. It reminds me of that feeling when you are out camping and it is hard to make things out with all the shadows, then the sun eats away at the darkness and even seems to bite through some of the objects in its path.

Mountain Air, cabin, river landscape

"Mountain Air"

This painting had a rough start.  It was only half finished as a demo.  The class was large, so I didn't get a chance to do much in the way of demonstrating.  

I played around with it a few more times, adding snow, a cabin, and fog.  I got carried away with the rocks and the water, working over them a few times.  The large tree in the foreground was taken out and added back twice.  Clouds were strengthened and eagles were added too.  

I made it available in print a while ago but I forgot to post the original.

Angel lake, sunset

This painting started as a class demo.  Went back later and added stronger colors, and more detail along the shore line.  Added the angel in place of the sun. I also gave it more contrast by darkening the foreground tree.  

I'm posting it again, in honor of my Mother-in-law, Dorothy Barr, who just went to meet Jesus.  She was 98! I miss her.
