Rocky Edge, bushes on a rocky shore

"Rocky Edge"

I was attracted to the contrast of the cold rocks against the warm glow in the little bushes. I also like the harsh edges of the rocks against the soft feeling of the water.

Trying some new techniques. This is a watercolor painting, done with many layers of professional color on acid-free paper. Had to start over completely because the colors are not easy to control and I lost the bright highlights in the first attempt.

Enjoy!

On a personal note: I have been teaching more classes and painting less these days. I am also working on updating all my info as I have a new website and new gallery pages. I didn't realize that I have around 800 posts to update! Wow, that amazes me!

Also, I want to thank all of my followers and collectors who have encouraged me over these past five years! It has been a great journey for me. 

Winter's Coming, fall landscape with stream

"Winter's Coming"

This one came right out of an art instruction book for my adult class. I encourage using different colors, and moving things around some to make it more original. My students didn't like this one at first, but I really liked the change of colors, and the strong contrast it has.

Enjoy!

Rock of Moses, abstract knife painting

"Rock of Moses"

About This Painting:
Just experimenting with a palette knife and warm colors verses cool colors again. This one reminded me of water gushing up. I thought about the story of Moses in the hot dry land: when he struck the rock water came forth!

Mama's Baby, manatees

"Mama's Baby"

© Fawn McNeill 2011

Many layers of colors were used to get this cool effect under the water. Thoroughly enjoyed myself!

I drew the sketches on paper first (free-hand) Then drew my final choice onto the canvas, I used the paint thin and transparent for the first few layers. Matte medium is a great way to thin the paint without jeopardizing the integrity of the paint.

This painting was created as a custom order. I am currently accepting orders. Can work from your photos, prices are by size.

Dinner Time, great egret in a pond of lilies

"Dinner Time"

About This Painting:
This great white egret kept landing in front of me while I was painting en plein aire (out on location). He was very large, and fat! I think he (or she) wanted to pose for me. I did include him in some of the plein air paintings I did those couple of days. Then I painted a few of him in paintings like this that are done from the photos I took.

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!

Life's Balance, landscape, fall trees near a lake

"Life's Balance"

About This Painting:
Stayed a few days at my sister's house in South Carolina a few years ago. Went out on a very cold morning, with frost everywhere, painting on location with watercolors. This lake was just down the road from her house. When I got back to Florida I used those little watercolor paintings to make this painting.

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.

Enjoy!

Moving On, sunset, landscape, rim canal

"Moving On"

Started as a demo with distant hills and a large lake. I went back later and turned the hills into the dike around Lake Okeechobee. Completely made this up from memory. Then I added the rocky shore, palm tree, and birds. Finally I made the alligator swimming in the canal.

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!

Lake Place, mountain landscape

"Lake Place"

Started as a demonstration from one of my student's photos. The photo was dark, so I brightened the whole thing up while we painted it. After I got home I decided it had great potential, so I changed some of it and added a shore line, more details, and darker reflections. Love the depth and distance, as well as the peaceful feeling it has.

Enjoy!

Old Timer, wildlife, grizzly bear

"Old Timer"

I saw a similar bear in Montana, but didn't get pictures of him. So when I was at a zoo shortly after that, I took lots of pictures of this bear in in a pool. I used my Montana pictures for the background. I added extra water, and lots of furry texture (which I love).

Enjoy!

Late Winter, palette knife landscape

"Late Winter"

About This Painting:
This was actually a class demonstration, then I repainted it as a palette knife painting when I got it home. I added the palm trees and the reeds along with the birds after I built up the texture with a knife. I was thinking about the day I spent at the Adam's Ranch a couple of weeks ago. We get fall colors in the winter here in Southern Florida. So the colors of winter are still prevalent, even when the warmer spring weather arrives.

Enjoy!
