Morning Blues, Beach, Sunrise, Daily Painting

"Morning Blues"

12 x 6 x 1.5

Acrylic on gallery wrap canvas

Sorry but the original is no longer available.

I really liked the effect of this odd size in a gallery wrap canvas. I pushed the colors here to create more mood. I wanted that early morning feeling. This is from the Bathtub Beach, in Stuart, Florida.

Thanks for looking!

Florida's Lion 2, Panther, Wildlife art by Fawn

"Florida's Lion 2"

9 x 12 inches
Acrylic on hardboard

SOLD

It was brought to my attention (by an art contest judge) that my perspective was off on my first painting like this. It may have been a little, but now after creating a whole new one, slightly larger, I don't think it was off too much at all. I really followed the photo more this time, taking less artistic license, at least in the anatomy. I still played around with the colors and the lighting, which I really like. I like the striking contrast of the first one, and the exaggerated angle of the head.

The thing I like most about this painting is the harmony of the colors, and the reflected light on the chest.

Summer Rockies, Daily Painting by Fawn

"Summer Rockies"

9 x 12 inches

Acrylic on hardboard

NOT AVAILABLE

Just finished this painting this morning. It is from a photo taken from my last trip out to my older brother's house. He lives 15 minutes from Glacier National Park in Montana. This brings back one of my fondest memories: when we were kids and our Mom took us up in the mountains for the first time. I think I was around ten. It was summer, and we had a snowball fight! I don't think my younger brother was as happy about it as I was, he didn't even like the snow in the winter time. I remember thinking that was the strangest thing, that there was snow in the mountains all year. . .

Momma's Boy, Foal, Animal Art by Fawn

"Momma's Boy"

15 x 21 inches

Watercolor

This is a painting I did back in 1996! I just came across it, and wanted to show it off. I was just beginning to use watercolors and acrylics after years of painting with oils and teaching classes in oils. I felt like I had really come a long way after I finished this one. It took me weeks! I painted every hair. . . click on the image to see the detail.

I was thinking about my boys, while I worked on this. We were abandoned by their Dad. They were around ten and twelve years old. I wanted to protect them and take away the hurt, I was helpless. And yet I know we only learn by experiencing the tough things. God loves us with such an intelligent love, turning the hard things around for good. This Bible verse really spoke to me:

"Can a woman forget her suckling child, that she should have no compassion on the son of her womb? Even these may forget, yet I will not forget you." Isaiah 49:15

Boat Trail, Lake Okechobee Lily pads, Daily Painting

"Boat Trail"

12 x 6 x 1.5 inches

Acrylic on Gallery-wrap canvas

(Sides are painted)

SOLD

This is about the in-between stuff. Instead of the lily pads being the main thing, I wanted the water in-between them to be the main thing. Does that make sense? I remember looking out at the endless lily pads and feeling like they just go on forever.

Up Date: This painting won a purchase award at Sebring's Art Festival! (11/10/07)

Kitty, Pet Portrait by Fawn

"Kitty"

5 x 7 inches

Acrylic on canvas panel

I was interested in the analogous color scheme of this kitty on the plush red rug. Her eyes have just enough green to give them good contrast. It made her look so soft and inviting.

Freedom, Plein Air Lanscape by Fawn

"Freedom"

8 x 10 inches

Acrylic on hardboard

After doing laundry, running errands, grocery shopping, etc . . . I started to do some yard work in the early afternoon. But I got my priorities straight this time and pulled out my easel first! It was just too perfect: nice cool breeze, bright sunshine, and a perfect view in the shade. This is the first time in 6 or 7 months that it has been cool enough to paint past noon.

I live next door to the Freedom Ranch, south of Okeechobee city, and this is one of the great views I have of their ranch. Down the long driveway you will find an open-air church among horses, cows, and dogs. Quite an interesting place.

After I did this painting I got busy and did some yard work too. Just wanted to pull a few weeds, but my husband cut down a tree, and had me hauling off branches . . . Am I glad I painted first!

This is Lake Carolina near my sister's house. I did some plein air work in watercolors while I was visiting, and took lots of pictures. I did this painting today from some of those pictures. This is the second painting of this area that I have done recently. Good memories.
