Endless Song, Palette Knife Angel

"Endless Song"

About This Painting:
This fun little painting started as an abstract, alla prima (all at once). I began to see an angel emerge out of the wonderful colors, so I had too develop it. I absolutely love all the contrasts. Dark and light, as well as cool and warm colors, it just seems to be exploding! I also enjoy creating things with a palette knife because of the texture and abstract quality.

I can imagine this angel, along with many others, joining us when we sing songs of worship. It is as if when you praise God, no matter how bad things are, you step out of the dark shadows and step into that joy-giving light. 

Maybe that is what this angel was doing. Might have been doing battle on your behalf, and then turned around, into the light as the song began, mission accomplished!

Hang Over, Abstract, Palette knife painting

"Hang Over"

About This Painting:
It started as a study of split contrasts. I was just playing with the palette knife and lots of thick paint. This is a fun approach. this time it was based completely on my mood, and the mixed emotions I was struggling with at the time. Very quickly the painting began to look like flowers hanging over the water.

Because of the abstract quality it has, almost like blurred vision, I gave it the humorous title, which made me laugh.

Azaleas Too

"Azaleas Too"

About This Painting:
I wanted to slow down the painting process and study these beautiful flowers in watercolor. This is a much more meditative approach for me. The first painting ("Wild Azaleas") that I did last month was very fun and fast, with lots of thick paint and free emotions flying off of the brush! That is so exciting to do, but does not tap into the desire to capture a soft subtle beauty. This painting, in contrast, was planned out every step of the way, and helped me connect with a more contemplative and intellectual technique.

Splash Down 2, Atlantic Ocean

"Splash Down 2"

About This Painting:
This is a take off of a painting I did in October of 2007. It started as a demonstration for a painting lesson. I wanted to make it brighter and less threatening. This painting is also smaller, and I made the colors stronger.

Peeling Paint

"Peeling Paint"

About This Painting:
This painting is mostly a palette knife painting. I started it as an abstract, but as it reminded of paint peeling off of wood I added some detail lines for wood grain and cracks in the paint. Just wanted to build up the contrast of smooth wood and rough texture.

Thanks for looking!

Fierce Beauty, American Lion

"Fierce Beauty"

© Fawn McNeill 2019

I was excited about creating all the fur up close with thick textures. That was my original inspiration.  

The eyes were in shadow and hardly showed up in my photos of this Florida panther. I love painting eyes, so I couldn't resist and really played them up here. No matter where you go in the room they follow you!

The painting continues on the sides, framing is optional.

This painting was reworked/enhanced in 2019.

Sweet Summer Memories

"Sweet Summer Memories"

About This Painting:
After painting this little landscape I just couldn't resist adding the tire-swing in remembrance of all the fun at many different swimming holes with a rope or a tire swing over the water! usually it was up on a higher hill than this. I remember a group of kids pushing each other, and 2 or 3 trying to jump on the swing at the same time! Someone usually got pushed in or fell off.

Letting Go, palette knife abstract

"Letting Go"

About This Painting:

This palette knife painting started as a color study. It soon became a metaphor for inner struggles. I sensed the pull in my soul to hang onto things that people have done and said that hurt me, and I felt the release when I let go and forgave them. I am learning to do this right away, and not let it build over time.

This abstract painting is symbolic in many ways. The movement of the paint represents moving on, getting free from things that keep us from joy. The red and orange colors are for anger and heat, and the dark purple and black are for spiritual death that we find in unforgiveness. The white is the way of escape that Father God is always faithful to provide.

The cool colors at the bottom are the streams of refreshing we find in letting go.

By forgiving others, even when they do not ask for it, we can let go of offenses and not become resentful, which only hurts us, not them.

At the River

"At the River"

About This Painting:
This is from Silver Springs Florida. It was morning, I thought the reflections were just lovely. Birds where everywhere. I like the impressionistic style of this painting. I wanted to try to capture that magical feeling you get when you know you are experiencing God's presence through His creation.

Painted Paint, A paint horse up close

"Painted Paint"

About This Painting:
This was inspired by Kathy Papasso's painting called "Bull's Eye" which I have always thought was an exceptional painting (see my side-bar for her work).

I wanted to capture the texture and close feel of the fur, but the eyes quickly took over to become the focal point. I used two pictures of Paint Horses, and two of Thoroughbreds for references. Then I free handed the drawing onto the canvas before I began painting it. It has taken over a month to finish it.
