Bear Side, mountain landscape

"Bear Side"

This was fun to paint because of the thick paint and texture created with a palette knife. I created it from my memories of Montana.  I added a grizzly bear near the tree line (which was hard to render with the palette knife!)

The scene continues on the sides, so framing is optional.

First Time For Everthing, foal running

"First Time for Everything"

Got great pictures of this new colt running around the paddock his first time out. He had a hard time getting here, and his mother almost didn't make it. One of the foal's legs came through the rectum and the other got hung up backwards.  The mare could not move around very well after being sown back together. They were kept in a stall until she could walk some.  

When he took off bucking and running around, she would call him back each time.  He would catch his breath and then take off again! It was way too cool to watch. He lives next door to me.

I was mostly interested in the backlighting and how it set him off.  The dust kicking up was also something I wanted to try to capture.  I exaggerated the background and moved things around to create more contrast because the sunset blurred so much of it out.  I think it is one of best works!

Make a Wish, landscape with white horse

"Make a Wish"

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.

I added the white horse as a tribute to my mother, who always told me to "Quick make a wish on that white horse!"

I hid an opsprey flying out of the tree, and an anhinga sits on a limb in the water.

White Ibis with Lilies, wildlife art

"White Ibis with Lilies"

Painted this from photos I took at White City Park last year. Quite a challenge to paint the negative spaces and leave the ibis. I get into a slow and methodical state of mind when working with watercolors, totally the opposite of acrylics.

Art Show

Had a rough start, spilled coffee all over my shirt first thing in the morning, before the show began. Can you believe that I didn't even think to bring an extra one? Will have to add that to my list for next year......

Anyway, I went in the bathroom to take off the outer shirt thinking I would leave my white tank shirt on that I had underneath..... But the worst of the coffee was on the undershirt. So I took off both shirts and rinsed as much of the stains out as I could, and wore the cold and wet shirt (on my right side) that you see in the picture above. Then I hung the white tank-top shirt up in my car.

I did have a jacket I wore for a little while. Thank Goodness I wasn't set up out in the cold windy morning!

How embarrassing!

The rest of the day went well, and I even won a ribbon. It is not a first place, or is it? It is called The Parrish award, in honor of Grady Parrish, who selected an artist each year for environmental awareness in their art. It came with a nice cash prize as well, so I was happy!

Back to the studio!

Fall's Splendor, landscape with deer and eagles

"Fall's Splendor"

Acrylic on canvas

12 x 16 inches

Painted this scene from plein air studies (done on location) and pictures I took a few years ago. I added the deer from memory, and the eagles as well. Really enjoyed creating all the warm colors contrasting with the cool gray and blue hues.

Mud Bath, animal portrait, pig covered in mud

"Mud Bath"

I had a blast splashing mud on this guy! I free-handed him onto the canvas and had him all pretty and white, but I just could not help myself. He his a pig after all! So I started with a few little spots of mud, and next thing you know, well, he was covered in it! Then I had to go back and clean him up a little so you could still see his eyes.....Too much fun.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Cam's Garden, landscape, deer in the woods

Cam's Garden

(Detail)

About This Painting:

Been working on this painting off and on for about two years now. I wanted to use an impressionistic style, yet add quite a bit of detail too. Sometimes it is hard to get the right balance of these two ideas, but I must say it really worked!

Enjoy!

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!

Prince, dog portrait

"Prince"

About This Painting:
This little Yorkie is adorable! I have watched him grow from a tiny puppy into the little terror he can be now! I cannot explain how much fun it is to create all that fur along with his very expressive eyes.......I feel like this really captures him!
