Out to Pasture, landscape with horse and pond

"Out to Pasture"

© Fawn McNeill 2008

About This Painting:
One of my favorites. Lots of symbolism here. The cattle are a memory of the horse's old job. He's headed for the shade of the trees to rest and enjoy the day. The end of summer is for the last season of life. The peaceful glow in the water and the hidden bird is for the new life that is found after this one.

I was inspired from a camping trip; I went for an early walk and came across this scene.  I combined several pictures of this area to get a stronger composition.

This is an award-winning painting.  It continues on the sides, so framing is optional.

On The Edge, landscape with deer

"On The Edge"

©Fawn McNeill 2011

Went back and strengthened the shadows and some of the colors in this older painting, and added the doe. Always felt like something should go in the opening. I originally painted this one from pictures I took out painting on location. There were lots of deer in the area, but my photos of the deer didn't turn out very well. I created this doe from memory.

"Morning's Song"

About This Painting:
Took pictures of this great egret on a foggy morning while I was at Lake Okeechobee. We were in a drought and the grasses and weeds had taken over. This whole area was usually under water! I was attracted to the contrast of the orange bushes and the green grasses.

Frosted Palms, Florida landscape

"Frosted Palms"

About This Painting:
We have had some hard freezes already this winter. On this particular morning, my car was iced over, and I don't even own an ice scraper to remove it from my windshield. I had to put the defroster on high heat to get a hole big enough to see through!

I saw this scene early that morning while driving just north of Okeechobee City, near Fort Drum, which is south of Orlando in the middle of the state. It was truly amazing! For the first hour of my drive everything was frost covered, and then the sun began to break through the patches of fog. Then everywhere the sun hit was a bright orange, and all the shadows were sparkling blue from the ice.

I used to live in Montana, so ice is not strange to me, it is just strange to see it on palm trees in Florida!

Heaven's Joy, seascape angel at sunset

"Heaven's Joy"

About This Painting:
This is another one I did on watercolor paper. It is a harder support to work on, but nice for framing because it can be easily matted and put behind glass, even trimmed some if needed.

I painted the landscape from memories of Guam. We always had fantastic sunsets with intense colors. I added the angel for wishes of Joy.

Enjoy!

One of Linda's Angels, palette knife painting

"One of Linda's Angels"

I believe we all have lots of angels looking out for us. Linda must have hundreds, because she was in a terrible wreck that she should not have survived. Her car was crushed by a big truck.

This painting is a reminder of the power of God to touch our lives and heal us, we just have to ask.

Rocks and Water, seascape rocky shore

"Rocks and Water"

Been out of town a lot lately, so I am posting this one from when I first began doing my daily studies. I still paint most everyday, but not as many small studies. I am doing more commissions and larger paintings based on these small ones.

This is one of a series of three. I really love the abstract shapes in the rocks, as well as the impressionistic look of the splash. Very fun to paint.

Enjoy!

painting give-away!

I am planning to have a drawing for a free painting at the end of this month. I'll even pay for shipping! If you want to be included, then send me a first and second choice painting (in case the first one sells before the drawing.) The painting must be priced at $150.00 or less.

See the side-bar of this blog for some of the paintings to choose from, of course I haven't gotten them all listed, but it might help you to decide if you don't have to search through all of the posts.

My friend has a 6 year old daughter that paints with me, and she will pick the winner out of a bowl! Sounds like fun to me!

Creation Sings, Montana landscape, Kootenai Falls

"Creation Sings"

About This Painting:

Did this one years ago. I used to sit here by the Kootenai Falls, in Libby Montana and watch the water roar. There is a swinging bridge that is very scary to cross just down stream from this spot. Sometimes I really miss my family and the beauty of the mountains.

It took me months to paint this large realistic painting!

The Cave, hidden cabin, plein air at EdenLawn

"The Cave"

About This Painting:
From a paint-out at EdenLawn, in Jensen Beach. This little cabin is nicknamed "the cave" because it has always been overgrown with trees and plants. I love the blue door and the way the cabin is hidden in all the foliage.

Eden Lawn was originally a pineapple plantation. Then it was a place to rent cabins, with a pool and a fancy restaurant. Now it is under renovation, and has some very interesting old houses and cabins.

Baby Doll, little girl, ballerina

"Baby Doll"

Reworked this older painting, made a few corrections and softened some of the shadows. I named it "Baby Doll" because the whole time I was working on it I kept thinking 'she looks just like a baby doll...'

I took pictures of this little girl dancing around before the performance at an outdoor art festival. She looks a lot like one of my art students, who takes dance lessons with the same studio that performs at the festival. So I asked her mother about it and she said it could be her! I took these pictures more than 3 years ago, so that puts her at the right age too. Isn't that cool?

Cypress Shores 2, Florida landscape, wildlife, great egret

"Cypress Shores 2"

This started as a study of the cypress trees again. I love the negative spaces in the trees. They remind me of Christmas ornaments. I got a few good pictures of this great white egret as it kept flying ahead of our boat while we were fishing a few days ago. We went out in the evening this last time.

I wanted to use a brush instead of a knife this time. I tried to exaggerate the impressionistic look of the brush work in the clouds and the trees, and the water, and still get it to look fairly realistic.

This painting is composed from memory mostly. I made up the clouds, used my photos for the tree line, and used the photos of the egret to add him in last. I love working this way, free-handing the whole thing as I go. Leaves lots of room for changes and imagination.

Cypress Shores, landscape, egret and alligator, knife painting

"Cypress Shores"

Painted this palette knife painting from memory. It is from a fishing trip we went on last week. There were so many birds and alligators that I just had to add some, but the painting was really about the interesting shapes the cypress trees made with the morning sky showing through them.

The palette knife texture is thick and the colors are strong, I also like the way the contrast turned out this time.

Heaven's Answer, palette knife angel

"Heaven's Answer"

I really wanted to emphasize that the focus is not on angels, they are God's messengers, they always remind us of Christ. The fallen angels will show up as lost loved ones and try to keep us from moving on. They will do anything to keep our focus off of our hope. If we aren't careful we can forget where our thoughts and prayers should be.

God asks us in His Holy Word not to grieve as those with no hope. We have the hope of a great reunion because Jesus gave his life for us. The Bible also tells us to count our trials as joy (in the book of James), and also to look ahead and not behind (Hebrews 12 and Luke 9). With His strength, and his power we can do the things he asks. Believe me, it is not easy! If you haven't asked Jesus in your life, then that is the way to find this inner strength and power that He wants to give to you.
