Morning Chatter,fox squirrel in a tree


"Morning Chatter"

This large fox squirrel had more to say than I wanted to hear!  He would not stop scolding me as I walked around under this tree.  Clearly I had invaded his space.  I finally got a few pictures of him before I moved on.

Cypress Shores 2, original landscape with egret, impressionism


"Cypress Shores 2"
© Fawn McNeill 2010

Created this from photos I took on the boat.  Robert and I went on a fishing trip down the rim canal near J & S fishing camp. I exaggerated the brush strokes to make it more impressionistic. Really love that style.  Framed this one in a custom-made, hand-painted frame (see below).

Enjoy!

Flowers, Class Demo, red violet flowers


Flowers, Class Demo
© Fawn McNeill 2016

This was a fun lesson.  We used the bright green to set off the deep red-violet.  These complementary colors create another level of contrast than simply using dark values against light values. We also looked at using thick impressionistic strokes and not over blending the colors.  

Enjoy!

Gentle Song Too, waterfall, palette knife painting


"Gentle Song Too"

This painting is all about contrast.  I like the contrast of the light and dark values, but the cool and warm tones make a different kind of contrast too. I am also intrigued by the contrast of the flowing and moving water against the harsh rocks. The palette knife lends itself well to the abstract look of the rocks, and it emphasizes the movement in the water too.  It was originally created in 2010, but I have gone back and added more details.

Thanks for looking!

Black Jack, cat portrait, animal portrait


"Black Jack"


This is a custom painting.  Had fun playing up the background and reflecting it in Jack's fur.  Jack's humans are in the movie industry, so I thought this would reference theatrical lighting quite nicely!

Down Stream, pasture, cattle, palms, Florida art


"Down Stream"


Did this painting entirely from memory.  I've seen many places similar to this.   I wanted to create a strong contrast along the bank and added the fence to break it up.  There is also a gator hiding in the water.


Enjoy!

Size: 9 x 12 inches

4 Winds Ranch revised, sunrise, pasture, calf


"4 Winds Ranch"


Made a few corrections and added the little calf to this older painting.  I also added more detail to the trees and the moss.  This was originally done very impressionistically with loose brush strokes.  I was interested in the shadows and patches of sunlight with the mist in the background.    I took lots of pictures. It was a beautiful morning!  See below for frame.

Jetty Park, pelican, plein air, seascape






"Jetty Park"


 The inlet is one of my favorite places to paint. This one started as a plein air painting (demo, done on location: see below.) but I also had the privilege to teach one of my students at the same time. When I got home I added the choppy waves and the pelican on the rock right away, because the day was still fresh in my mind.  I didn't want to lose the inspiration. I added more detail to the trees and rocks too.

This is only the second time we have painted together, 
 I think she did a great job! 



Thank you Carol, Karen, and Susan for a great time!

Waiting Orders, Warrior Angel

"Waiting Orders"
© Fawn McNeill 2013

Just framed this one!  (See below).  This angel is painted with a brush instead of a knife.   Creates a more blended effect. Used a cool blue color scheme instead of the bold colors I often use with the palette knife. 

I wanted him to look like he was finished with one assignment and waiting for the next.  I have always thought that I must have some very serious warrior angels looking out for me!


Acrylic on hardboard
6 x 6 inches
$175.00

This small painting is done on cradled hardboard, it is framed in an antique deep silver/gold frame. Ready to hang.  See below.
