"Homesick"
© Fawn McNeill 2026
Did some imprinting lessons with my kids' art class. Pure joy! We used sponges, crumpled towels, palette knives, and fingers. I love helping them discover new methods. I love their excitement and delight in the wonderful messes we make!
This is #5 in a new series I started after we did a few weeks of playing in the paint. (I'm still working on the first few, trying to get good images and give them titles. They won't get posted in order.)
I needed some healing in the grief and anguish of this past year. (Read more.)
Blue flowers are symbolic for longing for heaven. I did not know that until recently. It was cool to look back and see that these blue flowers have been showing up in my work a lot lately.
This painting actually started with globs of paint on a large palette on a tablecloth on the floor! White blobs printed over dark blues and purples were imprinted with my toes! Some green toe prints were added next. After the painting dried, I used a palette knife to add the path, and some of the grasses. Loaded more globs of paint on my fingers to add detailed flowers and leaves. A fan brush was used to dab on some weeds. then I used my fingers for the fog once everything was completely dry.
Silly, fun, and messy, but satisfying as each piece is so unique and random!
