Cypress Shores 2, original landscape with egret, impressionism


"Cypress Shores 2"
© Fawn McNeill 2010

Created this from photos I took on the boat.  Robert and I went on a fishing trip down the rim canal near J & S fishing camp. Exaggerated the brush strokes to make it more impressionistic, really love that style.  I just framed this one in a custom made, hand painted frame (see below).

Enjoy!

Morning Rush, pasture with egrets


"Morning Rush"

I originally created this as a demonstration painting. I went back later and changed it quite a bit by exaggerating the contrasting colors and adding more details. I wanted to play up the flooded pasture and add more egrets. 

Mornings (and colors of mornings) are my favorite because of the variety of shadows, highlights, and atmospheric conditions. It is also the coolest time of day in hot and humid South Florida, so this is when I like to venture out.

Breezy Morning, wildlife, great egret, landscape


"Breezy Morn"


Re-posting this older demonstration painting because I just added more detail and the great white egret.  I felt like this painting needed some life!  I also love the back-lit foliage.  During the painting class, I stressed the importance of irregular shapes in the clouds and the bushes.  Any time you can repeat similar shapes it creates rhythm and harmony in a composition.  Notice how the shapes in the clouds are repeated in the bushes that are back-lit!

Enjoy!

Bottle brush, gators, egrets, wildlife, plein air


"Bottle Brush"
Plein Air painting

Got to do a paint-out a couple of weeks ago, at White City Park (Fort Pierce, Florida).
I was drawn to this gator laying on the bank, and then a smaller one swam toward me!  There were birds everywhere, and of course the bottle brush trees were in bloom.  It was a lovely spring morning.

Late Morning, lake with egrets


"Late morning"
© Fawn McNeill


This painting came from my own photos taken at a little lake just north of Sebring, Florida. 

It is an original painting that I created while teaching an art class. The lesson was on depth and distance.  We used atmospheric perspective to exaggerate the distance.  I went back later and strengthened details and the shadows, and then added the birds to finish it up.

Dinner Time, Great Egret, bird, wildlife


"Dinner Time"
Just finished up this little demo from a couple of years ago.  Really like the reflections and the contrast.  This one was inspired by Jane Irwin's photography.  She brought it to class for us to paint!

(Some of my demos come right out of instruction books or calendars.  However, I do re-arrange things and change colors)

I love these kinds of paintings!  There is so much more to them than just a nice picture.

Summer Camp, Mountain Landscape


"Summer Camp"

Just added the canoe to this painting of the Spokane River.  There was a bunch of canoes piled up just to the right, so I decided to pull this one over and include it.  I didn't want it to take away from the rest of the painting, so I added lots of weeds in front of it.  I like the way it adds more interest to the composition.

This painting is about Retreats and Bible camp.  So many life changing decisions and good memories!

Enduring Love, Cross with a dove at sunrise


"Enduring Love"
© Fawn McNeill 2008


 This is surrealism. Lots of symbolism too. The sunrise represents the new covenant,  and the crown of thorns is for the suffering Jesus bore for us to find healing and eternal life. The dove is for the Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ, who lives in us when we commit to living for Him.  (This is not the same as being religious,  but living day to day instead as He leads us. This is accomplished by His strength and power to overcome the hardships we all face.)

Butterfly Garden, plein air painting

"Butterfly Garden"
8 x 10 inches
Acrylic on hardboard
Sold


Got to do the last plein air (out doors on location) paint-out with Lori McNamara until fall.  It was muggy and hot and very hard to get inspired at first. But once I got going I really enjoyed it.  This is at the Oxbow Eco-center in Fort Pierce. Had a little girl watch off and on, and then she got so close I wanted to give her the brush!  She loved it and told me what a good job I was doing.  Too cute!

Added the cardinal (which I saw flying around), and the butterflies (which were not flying around) after I got home. I couldn't paint the butterfly garden and not add butterflies!

Winter Marsh, Lake, egrets


"Winter Marsh"
9 x 12 inches
Acrylic on hardboard
$375.00

This painting is simple but effective. I captured the feeling I was after: cooler weather and the fleeting moment of birds rushing off out of sight.  I enjoy working in more of an impressionistic style too.

"Family Reunion"
16 x 20 inches
Acrylic on canvas
SOLD

Pretty much made this painting up.  Started with a cool photo of the tree laying down, which I had painted once before in its original setting.  I changed the sky from gray to sunset, and added the tall pines from other photos of the area. I saw tons of sandhill cranes gathering in a pasture and loved the idea of putting them in this painting, so I added the water and the cranes for more interest.

The original is sold, but you can click here for prints of this image in a variety of sizes!

Gone Fishing, Little Green Heron


"Gone Fishing"

I have tried for years to get a good image of this painting. Finally, I have one that doesn't have a glare on it!  

Lots of tiny details, and hours of work! I even painted little fish swimming in the water. Too much fun.

Enjoy!
