The Lion and The Lamb

"The Lion and the Lamb"

SOLD

This is an original oil painting I did years ago. I am posting it because I have prints of this painting available.


Jesus is said to be the Lion of Judah and the Sacrificial Lamb for our sin. This is also symbolic of the peace of heaven when the lion will lay down with the lamb and will not harm it.

Simple Faith, Wildlife Art by Fawn

"Simple Faith"

24 x 30 inches

Acrylic on canvas

$2,000.00

The painting was created in 2003 as part of a drippy series. I began with thin washes of acrylic paint on a canvas. Then the great blue heron was added in thick opaque paint. I like the abstract feel of the background against the detail and realism of the heron. The whole painting is then sealed three times.

The drips and runs are symbolic of tears and sorrow. The heron is symbolic of rising above rough times and trusting God to see you through it all. He promises to use trials for our ultimate good.

Angel, Spiritual art by Fawn

"Angel"

5 x 7 inches

Acrylic on hardboard

Not Available

This is based on a dream that I had. The wings of the angels were not visible, just blurs of light. The rays of light came out in all directions. I also had a vision once where the angels were moving about quickly, and all you could see was a flash of light, like a moving orb. In that vision the angels where waiting and listening to The Father, whom I could not see. They would each take off as they were given a command.

This painting was done with a palette knife, to give it that abstract or expressionistic quality. It only symbolizes an angel, as often times they appear as people and we never even know they were sent from God to help us.

The Guardian, Spiritual art by Fawn

"The Guardian"
30 x 40 inches
acrylic on canvas

NOT AVAILABLE

This was an assignment at the university a few years ago. We were challenged to create a symbolic self portrait with a still life set up.

The broken fawn is glued back together. It represents my broken life of abuse and foster homes, as well as the abandonment from my first husband of 13 years. God just keeps putting me back together!

The horse statue is colored the color of a horse I owned at the time, and represents the love I have for animals.

The hat is my wedding hat, and it is for the joy and love that Robert Barr has brought into my life.

The shells and rocks are from places I have lived, California, Minnesota, Montana, Hawaii, Guam, Florida . . . I moved every year as a kid, sometimes changed schools two or three times a year. So I would pick up something small that I could keep from many of those places.

The wild flowers are because my boys, Zac and Kyle, used to pick weeds and wild flowers out of the back yard, which always needed mowing. They always wanted me to put them in a vase,which I did, even if they didn't smell so great. Those are really good memories.

The rose is a promise of the Almighty's faithfulness to cleanse us from our wrongs and to cleanse us of the wrongs that were done to us. Somehow as a child I thought that the evil done to me made me evil. But God has shown me that we are like roses that do not wither or die. Our spirits are eternal. When we trust in Christ our lives become unique in him. Our Creator pursues us with his love. Only He makes us righteous in our spirit so we can be with him.

The angel means busines! He is for my belief that God must give us each many mighty warrior angels to help us through this sin cursed world! I believe they fight for us regularly. Because of Christ we are able to keep forgiving, loving and trying. We no longer have any excuse to give up. (By the way, my younger son, Kyle, draws warrior angels and he let me use one of his drawings for this angel. I added the serious face, and Kyle posed for the holding of the sword.)

I love this painting. I love the colors, the details, and the powerful meaning it has for me personally.

Sweet Dreams, Surrealism, Spiritual Art

"Sweet Dreams"

24 x 24 inches

Oil on canvas

Not Available

This is a painting I did back in 1995. I was in my early thirties then. I had always struggled with nightmares most of my life. They were usually about the abuse I endured in my childhood. As I went through more counseling, I began to ask Jesus to heal my sleep. This was the first of many good dreams. It smelled wonderful. The wind was gentle and it was blowing the fragrance of the flower all around me. The path was moving with the petals, making it hard to move forward. It lead toward heaven in the center. I woke up feeling refreshed and at peace. I have had very few nightmares since then. I can even sleep soundly through most things now!

Returning Thanks, Sunset, Heron, wildlife art by fawn

"Returning Thanks"
30 x 36 inches
Acrylic on canvas

$2,500.00
Ready to Frame

This is one I did a few years ago. It is part of a series of about ten paintings I did with very thin paint, letting it run and drip like watercolors. Then I added details in thick paint after the runny layers dried. 

I quickly painted the thin acrylics onto the wet canvas and let it run to symbolize the rain and a sunset. In my paintings the rain is often for tears and growth. The sunset represents the end of a season or time in life.

I have learned that it is through the hard things that we become truly thankful. We begin to see the whole picture and know the trials bring about stronger faith and greater appreciation.

This Great Blue Heron is symbolic for a prayer of thanks, even in the midst of trials.

Life's Journey, sunlit cactus,daily painting by Fawn

"Life's Journey"

9 x 12 inches

Acrylic on hardboard

(Ready to frame)
$700.00

This little cactus really caught my eye while I was at a garden painting last year. It has such interesting shapes and growth patterns. The sunlight just set it off like a jewel against the dark foliage. I got a couple of good photos of it, and now I have rearranged them slightly to create this composition.

This painting is symbolic for the twists and turns life brings our way, which bring about growth and character in us.

What caught my attention? The cool mist with the sun peeking through! I exaggerated the contrast in the colors and emphasized the shadows.

Rising Up, Atlantic Sunrise, Seagull,

"Rising Up"

20 x 24 inches

Acrylic on canvas

NOT AVAILABLE

This is another one from a couple of weeks ago when I went to the beach early and took a ton of pictures. I have rearranged the elements somewhat to emphasize the drama.

There is a lot of symbolism in this painting. Some things that were going through my mind include:

1.The rocks represent our trials and struggles.

2.The sunrise is for the hope we find in a new day.

3.The laughing gull is symbolic for trusting God to turn it all around. He will bring good out of the hardships we face if we trust Him.

Acrylic on gessoed board

I was thinking about peace as I painted this. Sometimes things are too painful to think about, or too hard to understand. When we pray, there is peace of mind, and we don't have to have the answers, just faith that God will work it all out like he says he will.

I hid an angel in the clouds. The sand was fun, lots of texture and contrast. I also like the way these colors play off of each other.

Quiet Time, Impressionism Landscape, Daily Painting.

"Quiet Time"

9 x12 inches
Acrylic on hardboard

(ready to frame)

$650.00

This is an older Daily Painting that I did last December. The title refers to prayer time. Nature has a way of reminding me to thank God for things.

This was an experimental painting. Thick over very thin and some "erasing." I used a subtractive method. First I stained the board with light warm tones, and let it dry. Then I added the dark colors and I wiped out the tree trunks with a small wet brush so the stained colors would show up as tree trunks. Then I added the thick highlights. I like the effect.

Heaven's Touch, seascape, horse and girl, 30 x 40

"Heaven's Touch"

30 x 40 inches

Acrylic on Gallery wrap canvas

(sides are painted)

$5,000.00

Detail:

I have been working on this painting off and on for almost a year now. It is all about contrasts and texture, as far as the technical aspects go.

This painting is far reaching too. Emotionally we all have things that need healing. Sometimes a sunrise or a sunset, a cup of coffee with a friend, or a moment of silence can touch us deeper than anything else at that time. This painting combines some of those ideas: dreams I have had, horses I have ridden, prayers cried out from the depth of my soul in my most turbulent times. Always God reaches out and heals the hurt a little more.

Soul Searching, Abstract, Daily Painting

"Soul Searching"

Just wanted to paint an abstract. I believe we are all on a journey, and we often get caught on paths that mislead us.  But we can also seek out the truth and intentionally throw out the negative thoughts and habits that beset us. The truth is found when we really seek it.

This is another palette knife painting. I think I am starting to get the hang of it. Just wanted to try something new. I like the interesting effects the knife creates, and the loose painterly quality.

This is symbolic for the two becoming one through marriage.

Heaven or Hell? Impressionism Landscape

"Heaven or Hell?"

16 x 20

Acrylic on Canvas
$975.00
ready to frame

Isn't it great to know that when we make the wrong choices, even when it is on purpose, God is still faithful to lead us back in the right direction? I have taken paths that I was so sure were part of God's will, and then found myself in situations I know were not of Him. Sometimes well meaning books and pamphlets lead us down a path that seems right. But God never intended for us to work so hard to gain his approval! He already loves us. He already accepts us. We can do nothing to make ourselves acceptable. He did it all when he took human form and died for us.

Living Waters, experimental painting 20 x 30

"Living Waters"

20 x 30 inches

Acrylic on canvas

$1,200.00

 Did a series of these experimental paintings a while ago. They start with thin layers of under-painting and then glazing. Thick paint is added last for contrast and detail. They are symbolic for tears and rain bringing about growth and life, physically and spiritually. I think this was the last one in a series of about ten.

Headed Home, Impressionism, Landscape, Daily painting

Title: "Headed Home"

Size: 8 x 10 inches

Medium: Acrylic on Ampersand gessobord

SOLD

This started from a photo I took out at the Adams Ranch in Fort Pierce, FL. But I rearranged the trees, and changed the colors. Now it is really just a place in my mind. It is a parable for the end of the day representing the end of life on earth, and the journey home. The two palms represent the gateway. I will probably add a little more to the trees in the background, I think they need just a touch of highlights.
