Iris Abstract, O'keeffe flower

"Iris Abstract"

© Fawn McNeill 2009

8.5 x 11.75 inches

watercolor on acid free paper


I have always been inspired by Georgia O'Keeffe's flowers. I thought this one would look great in watercolors. I changed the colors somewhat and let the composition flow the way it wanted as I painted it in without drawing it first. I used to have my students at the high school do this type of art history study. Of course they had to do a report too!

Enjoy!

Sissie, Maltese, pet portrait

"Sissie"

9 x 12 inches

Acrylic on canvas

Sold

I have been working on this little girl for a few weeks. I love her big dark eyes against all that soft white fur! This was quite a challenge, as shadows in white fur often look to dark or too light, hard to get the right balance. I am very happy with the outcome.

Happy New Year!!!!!!

Ironwood, palette knife, study of an old tree

"Ironwood"

6 x 6 inches

Acrylic on hardboard

ready to frame
$375.00

This old ironwood tree would have been great for October, looks like it should be in a scary movie! I was interested in all the bends and twists in the limbs. I left off the moss this time, because I didn't want to lose the structure of the tree.

Thanks for looking!

Southern Pines, palette knife painting

"Southern Pines"

6 x 6 inches

acrylic on hardboard

ready to frame

$325.00

Did this painting from memory. I was practicing blending with a palette knife by painting this sky that I saw the other evening. I didn't get the clouds near dramatic enough, so I added the slash pines for interest.

Dawn's Light, young palm tree

"Dawn's Light"

5 x 7 inches

Acrylic on hardboard

Sold

I painted this alla prima, all in one session. Wet-in-wet, fast and loose . . . so fun to do. Very impressionistic. I saw this little palm tree glowing in the early morning sun, the shadows where intensified by the light. It was so beautiful to me. It reminds me of that feeling when you are out camping and it is hard to make things out with all the shadows, then the sun eats away at the darkness and even seems to bite through some of the objects in its path.

NEWS FLASH:

The first Daily Painters book is out! MY ART is featured in the middle.

I am so excited, I am in NEW BOOK THAT HAS JUST BEEN PUBLISHED!

Ladies in Waiting 2, water lilies

"Ladies in Waiting 2"

5 x 7 inches

Acrylic on hardboard

SOLD

I really liked "Ladies in Waiting," from a few days ago, so I wanted to try it again in a palette knife painting. I pushed the dark and light values for stronger contrast, but mostly enjoyed painting the lily pads! I did this painting alla prima (all at once), which makes it have a nice thick texture and interesting mixtures of colors. The palette knife creates a challenge for me when applied wet over wet, but that forces the paint to interact.

Evening Watch, wildlife art, hawk

"Evening Watch"

8 x 10 inches

Acrylic on hardboard

NOT AVAILABLE

This is a palette knife painting. May touch it up a little yet, but I like the overall effect.

This hawk has been hanging out on my porch, and flying all around my house. I hope he is eating up the snakes and rats we have out here!

He showed up about the time Robert started having all the trouble with the tumor in his ear. I felt like he was just reminding us that God is taking care of things.
