About This Painting:
Painted from pictures I took in the Smokey Mountains. We were up about 3,000 feet. I was amazed at all the colors even though it was foggy. The palette knife gives this painting a very rugged and wild feeling, which is exactly what I had hoped for!

Spoonbill, plein air landscape

"Spoonbill"

About This Painting: Went out to the Adams Ranch for an annual artist's day paint out. This is one of the many natural springs that flow through the ranch. The water is clear and very turquoise. this photo doesn't pick up the colors in the painting very well, but the blues are a little more of a greenish hue.

I added the spoonbill when I got home, I had seen it flying overhead while out painting, way too cool! (Spoonbills have a shorter neck than flamingos, and they range from white and soft light pinks to dark pinks, almost a red color, and sometimes they have yellow accents too. Very strange-looking bird, with a flat duck-like bill. Very pretty colors though!)

The painting continues on the sides which are close to 2 inches thick, so framing is optional.

About This Painting:
Very fun little palette knife painting, from my Montana memories. Totally made it up out of my head! Usually, I use photos from my visits home, but this time I just wanted to see if I could do it. Quite proud of the results! I love the thick textures I get with the palette knife!

Orchid Study, plein air

Orchid Study

About This Painting:
Got out this morning and painted these lovely orchids that my husband grows. This is actually the second try, as the first one got to detailed in the background and took away from the flowers, So I simplified the background and then repainted the orchids!

It was a wonderful morning, cool and breezy for a change. I was enjoying myself and then just as I was finishing the second try, my husband starts weed-eating! There were bugs and grass flying everywhere. So I called it quits and helped with the yard work.

Thanks for looking!

Endless Song Too, palette knife Angel

"Endless Song Too"

The format of this commissioned painting is larger than the previous painting "Endless Song," and this one is vertical instead of square. 

It is actually the third palette knife painting of an angel done in this style. These are so exciting to paint, with lots of thick intense color and wonderful movement. I have already started another small one in a different color scheme and a different arrangement.

Spring's Dawn

"Spring's Dawn"

About This Painting:
Painted this one from memory. Used thick, loose, impressionistic brush strokes -- too much fun.

I see this old oak tree often, as we drive into town. Once all the vegetation grows in thickly again, the water will become very hard to see. But right now it can look so blue it seems fake. The dark branches just add to the effect. So I thought I would try to capture it in a painting.

Lake Lilies, lily pads with flowers, daily painting

"Lake Lilies"

© Fawn McNeill 2007

I just love this vertical format. I did one titled "Boat Trail" not too long ago from this same area of Lake Okeechobee. Created this from photos I took before the drought. I loved going out and looking at miles of these wonderful water lilies.

The canvas wraps around and the sides are painted so framing is optional.

Great Egret's Grace, wildlife art by Fawn

"Great Egret's Grace"

20 x 24 inches

Wood frame with rope pattern

Acrylic on canvas

$525.00

Detail:

This is a painting that I did in 2004. I did a series of about ten paintings with drips and runs. I would throw the paint on in thin layers and then put the thick paint over the top for detail. It makes a nice contrast -- not only in the surface texture but also in the transparent to opaque paint quality. I have recently softened the small waves in the foreground.

Splash Down, East Coast Beach

"Splash Down"

When I was at the beach, a couple of weeks ago, the foam and splash came up past my knees! What a wonderful morning.  

The wind and salt air took me back to my teen years when I lived in the Pacific Islands. We spent every event on the beach, in Hawaii, and in Guam. I enjoyed reliving the memories in this painting. 

Now I live inland- in the center of Florida. It is about an hour's drive from my house to the coast.  I haven't had such a great time there in a few months. The weather, the lighting, and the inspiration - well, it was just perfect.

Inlet Park Too, Florida Plein Air, Alla Prima, Beach

"Inlet Park Too"

This is the second one I did yesterday. I may add birds to it, but I kind of like it as is. A large osprey showed up and caught a very large fish in front of me. He could not get out of the water and struggled for sometime near the shore. Then he let the fish go and flew off. Very exciting!

Over the Dike Too, Impressionistic Daily Painting

Over the Dike, Too

9 x 12 inches

Acrylic on Watercolor Paper

(ready to frame)

I am still amazed at the low water levels of our very large lake. Lake Okeechobee is the second largest fresh water lake in the US. But now it doesn't look like much. Mud, sand and new lime-green grass everywhere. All of the bright green areas used to be under water. I am fascinated by the brilliant colors. (Click here for a comparison of this same area back in November of 2006.)

I have been doing some of my paintings on watercolor paper. I love the overall texture, but I haven't gotten used to the wavy bumps. I'll go back and straighten up the horizon line on this one.

Just playing with thick paint and contrast again. Warm colors against the cool colors, and splashing water against the hard rocks. I love the abstract patterns it creates.

Thanks for looking!
