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!

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.

Got to do a paintout Friday in Fort Pierce with Lori McNamara and some friends of ours:

Fawn's plein air demo in progress

Jenna, hard at work!

Jenna's 2nd plein air painting!

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!

River Side, landscape with egrets

"River Side"

(c) Fawn McNeill 2009

This is an older palette knife painting. Created it from some of my photos of the Kissimmee River. I really love the texture and thick paint.  Last week I repaired some damage, added the birds, and framed it in a nice wide frame.  Really sets it off!  (See below.)

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!

Morning Rush, pasture with egrets

"Morning Rush"

I originally created this as a demonstration painting. I went back later and changed it quite a bit by exaggerating the contrasting colors and adding more details. I wanted to play up the flooded pasture and add more egrets. 

Mornings (and colors of mornings) are my favorite because of the variety of shadows, highlights, and atmospheric conditions. It is also the coolest time of day in hot and humid South Florida, so this is when I like to venture out.

Breezy Morning, wildlife, great egret, landscape

"Breezy Morn"

Re-posting this older demonstration painting because I just added more detail and the great white egret.  I felt like this painting needed some life!  I also love the back-lit foliage.  During the painting class, I stressed the importance of irregular shapes in the clouds and the bushes.  Any time you can repeat similar shapes it creates rhythm and harmony in a composition.  Notice how the shapes in the clouds are repeated in the bushes that are back-lit!

Enjoy!

Waves, Pacific Ocean, seascape

"Waves"

(original class demo painting)

Created for my adult painting classes.  Added the tree for more interest.  This one came from an art instruction book, only it was a night scene and we did it with daylight colors to brighten it up.

The curve of the wave is a challenge to capture, so sometimes we end up with more rocks and splash than transparent waves!

Breezy Evening, Florida art, palms and sunset

"Breezy Evening"
original demo

This demonstration painting is a take off of "Breezy Morning."  Changed the colors, reversed the composition, added some palm trees, and also formatted it vertical instead of horizontal.  This is a great example of how you can jazz up those photos that didn't turn out so great.  Add dark shadows and strong highlights for more contrast and change some things to strengthen the composition.  

I may still add some birds . . .

Florida Skies Too, abstract knife painting

"Florida Skies Too"

July 4th, 2011

About This Painting:
This is an older one from a few years ago.  Started going through my inventory and decided I would rather they go to good homes at lower prices than sit on my shelf!

When I created this one I revisited an older painting, completely changing it by using a knife. I really enjoy using such intense colors!

Enjoy!

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.

Size: 9 x 12 inches
