From Ruck's Road, Dairy Cows, Plein Air Painting by Fawn

"From Rucks Road"

16 x 20 inches

Acrylic on canvas

SOLD

This is one of my earlier plein air paintings. I did three paintings of the dairy cows on this country road. It wasn't so bad while I did this one very early. But then the cows came up near me . . . It was smelly, had lots of flies, and I was dripping in sweat by 8:00 am! I tried to shoo them off, but they hung out next to the fence.

Needless to say, I learned to set up in the shade, and I have not gone near the dairy to paint again! LOL.

Like a Rock, wildlife art by Fawn

"Like a Rock"

9 x 12 inches

Acrylic on hardboard

Sold

This great blue heron was standing so still that I did not even see him until the splash of the water made him show up! He startled me, because he was just two steps away. I started taking his picture from all angles, and he never moved, just a slight turn of the head to watch me. I had to laugh, It was as if he were saying, "I'm a rock, I'm a rock, I'm a rock!"

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.

Seagrapes, Alla Prima, Daily Painting

"Seagrapes"

9 x 12 inches

(ready to frame)

Acrylic on hardboard

This was a quick fun painting, it started as a study of a young seagrape bush, and turned into more of an abstract: with the focus on repeated circular shapes and bold colors. This plant was lit up with briliant light and wonderful deep shadows. As I painted it, it became more about the interesting shapes and patterns than the actual leaves and colors.

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.

Winning Time, Equestrian Art, Daily Painting by Fawn

"Winning Time"

11 x 14 inches

Acrylic on canvas

$875.00  Framed (see below)

Painted this from a photo I took at the rodeo here in Okeechobee. We have 2 big events each year, and some smaller ones also.

Started this painting at the beginning of this week, but I didn't get much time to work on it. I enjoyed playing with the abstract background, and contrasting that with the realistic horse and rider. I also like the determined look on the girls face.

Rim Water, Sunrise Landscape, Old oak, Plein Air

"Rim Water"

(Lake Okeechobee)

9 x 12 inches

Acrylic on canvas

This is another older painting that I did a few years ago, I have added the egrets and a few more highlights to it. My photography is better now too, much more true to the right colors, and contrast. Of course, each monitor varies some in color too. My camera tends to throw off a blue cast, so I am learning how to adjust for that and get a better image.

I am glad I painted it when I did, because this old tree was taken out and now a huge house is in it's place. Sad face here.

I have to go back to the courthouse today. Jury duty . . .

Separated, Impressionism, Young Cow, Daily Painting by Fawn

"Separated"

9 x 12 inches

Acrylic on canvas

SOLD

This is a painting I did last year in November. I have brightened it up quite a bit as I was never satisfied with it. Now it makes a stronger statement.
This little cow was separated from the others and when I came around the trees I was between her and the herd. She was as startled as I was and I thought she might charge at me! But she stomped, snorted and ran around until she got closer to the others.

Dawn's Magic, Sunrise Reflections Landscape by Fawn

"Dawn's Magic"

14 x 18 inches

Acrylic on canvas

Not Available

This was painted for a workshop lesson. Very moody. 

Sorry to say that I have been called in for jury duty, so my posts may be sporadic over the next few days. I also have company coming this week, and my regular private lessons to teach! Some of my lessons have had to be cancelled already . . . I am trying to keep a positive attitude here, but I think I will need some extra prayers this week!

Fall Leaves, Watercolor, Daily Painting

" Fall Leaves"

7 x 11 inches

Watercolor on acid free paper

Did this one from my sister's kitchen table a couple of years ago. Looking out of the window at the frost and wind, I decided to stay inside this time. My hands had gotten numb the day before. It is alla prima (all in one sitting).
