Paynes Prairie 2, landscape, Daily Painting

"Paynes Prarie 2"

9 x 12 inches

Acrylic on hardboard

Not Available

This is based on the value studies from yesterday.  I tried to limit my values, which I don't think I managed so well, because I really like lots of contrast. I made the focal point in the distance, and tried to soften the foreground. It took a couple of tries, but I like the effect. No critters this time, just wanted to practice some of the new ideas in my head.

Paynes Prarie, Value Study, Plein Air, Alla Prima

Paynes Prairie Study

4.5 x 6 inches

Acrylic

Not Available

These are value studies I did at the workshop Saturday. We did about ten different exercises, not including warm ups. The goal here was to use limited values. The dark values could not be black or even dark gray, and the lights could not get very white. The color study had to follow the same values, only using color. I really liked this exercise, as it forced me to think through the whole process and not just slap it on in a hurry.

I plan to paint a larger painting of the color study and see if I can keep the subtle changes in value.

Thanks for looking!

Paynes Prairie, Plein Air Painting

"Paynes Prairie"

8 x 10 inches

Acrylic on hardboard

(ready to frame)

Went up to Micanopy today, just south of Gainesville. Had a workshop with Linda Blondheim. She is an excellent instructor. It was windy, cold, and absolutely beautiful. Don't think I even came close to the feast of colors my eyes enjoyed today. It was a fantastic day!

Cypress with Crotons, Plein Air Painting by Fawn

"Cypress with Crotons"

8 x 10 inches

Acrylic on hardboard

First time out in a long while. I started with just the crotons, at least that was the original idea, but the roots of this old cypress tree were just too interesting to pass up. They soon became the focus of the composition!

Have a plein air work shop tomorrow in Gainesville. Can't wait!

Sandhill Crane, wildlife art by Fawn

"Sandhill Crane"

5 x 7 inches

Acrylic on canvas panel

SOLD

This crane was the leader in a row of five. He kept stopping and looking at the others as if to say "hurry up!" They were not happy with me and my camera, as I kept following them around and taking pictures. Only got three or four really good shots. This is one of them.

This is a fun little shell that was floating along and glowing in the sun. One of the shore birds here had just cleaned this one out.

Busy week, getting ready for Thanksgiving and all. Thought I would do a few small paintings this week. I may not get one posted everyday, but I will try. I will be out at a workshop on Saturday, so most likely wont have one that day.

Wanted to try this one again with a different color scheme. I added a wall behind the cactus and changed the growth pattern a little. I love the luminous quality of this piece.

Life's Journey, sunlit cactus,daily painting by Fawn

"Life's Journey"

9 x 12 inches

Acrylic on hardboard

(Ready to frame)
$700.00

This little cactus really caught my eye while I was at a garden painting last year. It has such interesting shapes and growth patterns. The sunlight just set it off like a jewel against the dark foliage. I got a couple of good photos of it, and now I have rearranged them slightly to create this composition.

This painting is symbolic for the twists and turns life brings our way, which bring about growth and character in us.

What caught my attention? The cool mist with the sun peeking through! I exaggerated the contrast in the colors and emphasized the shadows.

Rising Up Again, ocean sunrise, daily painting by Fawn

" Rising Up Again"

12 x 16 inches

Acrylic on canvas

SOLD

This painting was commissioned. It is similar to one I did a couple of weeks ago. The sky is a little different and this one is a smaller size. I also changed the bird and moved the horizon line down. This gives the same feeling of the first painting, but keeps it an original.

If you see something you would like in a different size or a different color scheme, please email me! Although I never make exact copies, I can do a similar painting for you.
