Bottle brush, gators, egrets, wildlife, plein air

"Bottle Brush"

Plein Air painting

Got to do a paint-out a couple of weeks ago, at White City Park (Fort Pierce, Florida).

I was drawn to this gator laying on the bank, and then a smaller one swam toward me!  There were birds everywhere, and of course the bottle brush trees were in bloom.  It was a lovely spring morning.

Sun Down, sunset seascape, knife painting

"Sun Down"

This is an older painting, from my Daily Painting series when I was a member of Dailypainters.com.  (This is when I first started painting with palette knives.)  It is full of strong color and thick textures, which I still love to create. Painting with knives leads to unique mixtures of color, which is fun to experiment with.

Late Morning, lake with egrets

"Late morning"

© Fawn McNeill

This painting came from my own photos taken at a little lake just north of Sebring, Florida. 

It is an original painting that I created while teaching an art class. The lesson was on depth and distance.  We used atmospheric perspective to exaggerate the distance.  I went back later and strengthened details and the shadows, and then added the birds to finish it up.

Started this painting last year, and finally got back to it last week!  I did a couple of paint-outs at White City Park, Fort Pierce, Florida. I did some Plein air studies. I took a ton of pictures! Created this one from those studies.

Stormy Evening, sunset beach knife painting

"Stormy Evening"
(Am currently accepting orders for custom paintings! 
Can do something similar in a larger size!)

This is an original palette knife painting.  Sometimes I take a break from my serious detailed work and put tons of paint out on the palette. I load the painting up thick using a palette knife instead of a brush to get all kinds of interesting mixtures and texture.  This is very exciting and moves quickly.  When they don't come together with the desired results I scrape all the paint off and try again. In most cases I do them alla prima (all at once), but this time I didn't have time to get it all finished and went back later to add the final details. (Added birds and some of the palm tree with a small brush.)

Dinner Time, Great Egret, bird, wildlife

"Dinner Time"

Just finished up this little demo from a couple of years ago.  Really like the reflections and the contrast.  This one was inspired by Jane Irwin's photography.  She brought it to class for us to paint!

(Some of my demos come right out of instruction books or calendars.  However, I do re-arrange things and change colors)

Splash of Fall, demo painting

"Splash of Fall"

I originally created this as a demonstration painting, but recently added more leaves and details to finish it up. I also strengthened the color contrasts.  I love the movement in the water and the bright colors of the leaves.
