Sun Down, sunset seascape, knife painting


"Sun Down"

This is an older painting, from my Daily Painting series when I was a member of Dailypainters.com.  (This is when I first started painting with palette knives.)  It is full of strong color and thick textures, which I still love to create. Painting with knives leads to unique mixtures of color, which is fun to experiment with. 

Title: "Sun Down"  
Size: 8 x 10 inches
Medium: acrylic on hardboard
 $320.00
Varnished and ready to frame

Stormy Evening, sunset beach knife painting


"Stormy Evening"
(Am currently accepting orders for custom paintings! 
Can do something similar in a larger size!)

This is an original palette knife painting.  Sometimes I take a break from my serious detailed work and put tons of paint out on the palette. I load the painting up thick using a palette knife instead of a brush to get all kinds of interesting mixtures and texture.  This is very exciting and moves quickly.  When they don't come together with the desired results I scrape all the paint off and try again. In most cases I do them alla prima (all at once), but this time I didn't have time to get it all finished and went back later to add the final details. (Added birds and some of the palm tree with a small brush.)

Endless Joy, palette knife angel


"Endless Joy"

Took one of my abstracts and added this angel to it.  Love the way it came together!

This angel is for the kind of joy you can only find (even in hard times) when you lay down your plans and seek the Lord's.


Angels are not like humans and humans do not become angels (according the the holy scriptures).  The fallen angels are far out numbered, and we have been given power over them in Jesus name. So when we forgive and pray blessings on others and ourselves, our Father's angels battle for us, helping us overcome the trials and hardships that come against us.  They have been given charge over those who seek the Lord.

Big Lake Sunset, knife landscape painting


"Big Lake Sunset"

This is an older painting. I did it alla prima, or all at once, it is of Lake Okeechobee.  I truly love the texture and color that is unique to knife paintings.  Some of my students are doing palette knife beach scenes right now, so I wanted to post this one in response to what we are doing in class.

Passing Through, rainbow landscape, knife painting




"Passing Through"

The first one like this was on watercolor paper for my kid's summer art classes. The inspiration came from Van Gogh. It was done with a paintbrush and didn't have much detail.  I liked the idea, however, and painted it again on hardboard with a palette knife.  Lots of fun!  Then some of my older students painted one like it with a palette knife too. I added the butterflies to finish it up.

Thanks for looking!

"Another Piece of Paradise"

This is the third painting in this series of large sunsets.  It is symbolic for the journey we are on.  Many times we come through the dry and harsh places before we find a season of beauty that is overwhelming. Maybe we wouldn't have recognized it if we hadn't struggled to find better things.

This is a palette knife painting, full of texture and bold color.  I added horses running in the distance as a celebration of life.

Sun Down, sunset seascape


"Sun Down"

Created this painting alla prima, or all in one session.  It was done from memory with a palette knife a few years ago.  This one has an abstract feel to it.  Wanted to capture the fleeting moments of the end of the day and the movement in the sky and water.  It really poured out of me. I love it when it flows like that.

ENJOY!

Sun Up, palette knife sunrise landscape


"Sun Up"

I did this knife painting a few years ago. I was interested in the way the sun came from the other side of the bank and of course the reflections.  I like using a knife for unique color mixtures and textures.

Bear Side, mountain landscape

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!)

Mountain Music, palette knife, lake landscape


"Mountain Music"


I did a unit on Monet with my kids summer art class. So this demo was originally done in short choppy brush strokes, very similar to Monet's style. I liked the colors and wanted to finish it, but I wanted the mountains bigger and more rugged so I could add snow to them. Used a painting knife and started with the sky, and re-worked the whole thing just for the fun of it. I thought I would make it very abstract, but as I worked it became more and more detailed. A little of my obsessive quality shining through I suppose!


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!

Secret Stream, palette knife painting

"Secret Stream"




About This Painting:
This one started as a path with pebbles and stones on the edges of it. Then it reminded me of one of many creeks I have crossed in Montana, so I added more rocks. I used a palette knife to get that sparkle effect of the water dancing down stream. Really fun to to create with a knife, because you never know what you will get in the end.

Eternal Love, angels at sunset, knife painting

"Eternal Love"

This is a custom order, taken from "Endless Love." This one was created with painting knives, while "Endless Love" was done with brushes on a smaller board. The knife gives it a more abstract look, as the blending technique isn't as soft. I like the energy the two angels seem to have between them.

Enjoy!

Ends of the Earth, abstract sunset landscape

"Ends of the Earth"


Actually was inspired by my palette, the colors are arranged all around the edges with white in the middle, so it looks almost like a rainbow at times. I began with yellow, orange, and red first, then added some white. Then I worked around to greens and blues, and finally added the violet. Then I found myself adding water, and foliage, of sorts. The purple hues remind me of a shore line. This painting has wonderful texture from the wet in wet applications with a palette knife.

Enjoy!
