Lifting Fog, cardinal, turkey, deer, Florida art

 "Lifting Fog"  

 

I worked on this painting off and on for a couple of years.  Just finished it in January, 2019, when I added the cardinal.  He was the whole point to begin with, so I was glad to finally put him in there!

The cardinal kept posing for me while I was scouting the area for a good place to set up my easel.  I did several small plein air (on location) studies farther down this muddy road.  I actually got my shoes wet taking photos of this old fence!

Lavender Flight, mixed media, knife painting

"Lavender Flight"

This is fun little abstract painting is part of my newest series of mixed media art.  I added some charms and beads for that extra sparkle. For some reason these mixed media paintings tickle me. I love the way the beads show up at different angles of viewing which makes it grab your attention.  (Click on the image for a larger view.)

Eternal Joy, angel, butterflies, mixed media painting

"Eternal Joy"

        This is inspired from a small painting I did years ago called "Endless Song".  This one is less abstract, and the colors are lighter.  I used thick gesso to build up the hair, wings, and plants for an impasto feel.  Also added beads to the headband and the belt, as well as on the gown.  The 3 metal butterflies were the most fun, because they fit so well with the colors I had already painted.  It is like a nice surprise when you see them. Adding a little iridescent paint on the wings, gown and above the head gives it a nice shimmer. When the painting is viewed at different angles, some things really catch your eye.

      Can't explain how tickled I was when I added the extras, I felt like a kid.  I played with  many combinations until finally I was satisfied with this layout.  The butterflies actually made me laugh!

Pushing Through Again, Mixed Media, inspirational art

"Pushing Through, Again"

This is the first of a new series I've started.  Been experimenting with thick impasto, modeling paste, and gel mediums.   

Went on a treasure hunt and found  a few charm bracelets and necklaces at thrift stores. Had so much fun adding them to my paintings!

Second Look, Florida art, plein air

"Second Look" 
© Fawn McNeill 2011

This is the third painting I did at the Adams Ranch on location a few years ago. I had packed up most of my gear, and then looked back at this view from the other side of the path before I loaded up my easel. I was tired and ready to leave, but it was so beautiful, and I wanted to at least get this one started. So I went back and unloaded everything! Got a great lay-in, and almost finished it on location...... I touched up a few things and added a little more detail when I got home. I love the way it turned out! 

Enjoy!

New Hope, Brahmans, cattle, Florida Art

"New Hope"

Painted this a couple of years ago, but didn't get to post it because I couldn't get a good image of it.  I  wanted to make it available in prints, so I tried again. (This painting includes a unique custom frame.)

I actually took pictures of this calf peeking around a tree.  The mother was a little farther away.  Took a lot of nice images of different cows and bulls as well.  Next, I sketched out some ideas before drawing this composition onto the canvas.  I added water and mist to the background for that foggy morning haze that is so common around here. The flowers add the feeling of spring, a time for new life and hope.

Gulf Breeze, seascape, sandy shore

"Gulf Breeze"

Just finished this one this morning!  Worked on it for a few weeks. I used some of my older photos as a spring board, then moved things around for a stronger composition.  Originally wanted to keep it more impressionistic and painterly, but once again I added more and more detail.

Rise and Shine, dairy cows and deer at sunrise

"Rise and Shine"

©2014

 I created this painting for the new year quite some time ago. I used to live out on Rucks Road, and the Dairy was just around the corner. Took lots of photos and did some plein air studies too. Bright sunlight is breaking through the cool morning shadows. Symbolic for a new start, putting off the old and walking in the light. It is about overcoming depression and finding joy again.

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).

Gentle Song Too, waterfall, palette knife painting

"Gentle Song Too"

This painting is all about contrast.  I like the contrast of the light and dark values, but the cool and warm tones make a different kind of contrast too. I am also intrigued by the contrast of the flowing and moving water against the harsh rocks. The palette knife lends itself well to the abstract look of the rocks, and it emphasizes the movement in the water too.  It was originally created in 2010, but I have gone back and added more details.

Down Stream, pasture, cattle, palms, Florida art

"Down Stream"

Did this painting entirely from memory.  I've seen many places similar to this.   I wanted to create a strong contrast along the bank and added the fence to break it up.  There is also a gator hiding in the water.

Enjoy!

4 Winds Ranch revised, sunrise, pasture, calf

"4 Winds Ranch"

Made a few corrections and added the little calf to this older painting.  I also added more detail to the trees and the moss.  This was originally done very impressionistically with loose brush strokes.  I was interested in the shadows and patches of sunlight with the mist in the background.    I took lots of pictures. It was a beautiful morning!  See below for frame.

About This Painting:
This is an older palette knife painting. Created it from some of my photos of the Kissimmee River. I really love the texture and thick paint.  Last week I repaired some damage, added the birds and framed it in a nice wide frame.  Really sets it off!  (See below.)

Waiting Orders, Warrior Angel

"Waiting Orders"

© Fawn McNeill 2013

Just framed this one!  (See below).  This angel is painted with a brush instead of a knife.   Creates a more blended effect. Used a cool blue color scheme instead of the bold colors I often use with the palette knife. 

I wanted him to look like he was finished with one assignment and waiting for the next.  I have always thought that I must have some very serious warrior angels looking out for me!

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!
