Treasured Memories, seashore, mixed media

"Treasured Memories"

This is the third painting in my new series: found objects and mixed media.

I added some of the seashells my grandchildren found with me.

The clear beads hardly show in the photo. Wanted extra sparkle in the splash.  When the light hits it at different angles it shines.

Not sure if I will sell any of these yet or not.  Will make a few more and then decide, so far they are too precious!

Spilling Over Again, abstract, mixed media

"Spilling Over Again"

This is a take off from an older abstract painting called "Spilling Over." It is part of a new series of mixed media paintings.  This one has aquarium stones, beads, and tiny pearls. 

I'm experimenting with adding found objects and/or impasto techniques (thick raised texture to paint over.) 

I did some of this in college, but that was a few years ago.... 

Starting small, and learning so much about gel medium, heavy gesso, and acrylic modeling paste!  Way too cool.

This one is framed in a black shadow box.

Pushing Through Again, Mixed Media, inspirational art

"Pushing Through, Again"

This is the first of a new series I've started.  Been experimenting with thick impasto, modeling paste, and gel mediums.   

Went on a treasure hunt and found  a few charm bracelets and necklaces at thrift stores. Had so much fun adding them to my paintings!

Second Look, Florida art, plein air

"Second Look" 
© Fawn McNeill 2011

This is the third painting I did at the Adams Ranch on location a few years ago. I had packed up most of my gear, and then looked back at this view from the other side of the path before I loaded up my easel. I was tired and ready to leave, but it was so beautiful, and I wanted to at least get this one started. So I went back and unloaded everything! Got a great lay-in, and almost finished it on location...... I touched up a few things and added a little more detail when I got home. I love the way it turned out! 

Enjoy!

Rocky Shore, plein air, birds

"Rocky Shore"  

Fawn McNeill © 2007

I recently repainted part of this older plein air painting.  (Done on location.) 

The water level was very low, and the rocks made interesting patterns. It was challenging, to say the least!  

The little blue heron stayed off to the far right most of the morning, and just before I finished up, the water turkey (anhinga) poked his head up a few times (near the bottom).

I loved all the colors and the rhythm in this painting, but I went back and toned down some of the rocks, mostly on the left and a little near the top, in order to direct the viewer's eye toward the bird on the right.

Flaming Sunset, poinciana, impasto, Florida Art

"Flaming Sunset"

These royal poinciana trees are gorgeous, and really over painted.  Not hard to see why. 

I found this old palette knife painting that needed a few more corrections (it has sat around my studio for a year or so).  I have done a lot of these, so I wanted to do something a little different this time. I built it up with gesso and impasto effects, so the raised flowers really jump off the painting! Very interesting texture and color contrast.

Spring Shoreline,colorful morning

"Spring Shoreline"

(original demo)

11x14 inches

Acrylic on canvas

This was the first of 2, painted this past April.  I created it as a guide, then did the step-by-step painting during class for the second one.  Lots of strong colors, which I love to paint.

The challenging part was getting the waves to curve on the beach,  but every one captured it nicely.  Each painting turns out unique and different, as I encourage my students to move things around and use their favorite colors.

Soul Searching, sunset, beach, Florida art

"Soul Searching"

© 2018 by Fawn McNeill

(A heart-shaped cloud, and angels)

(The woman)

   This large painting was done mostly from memory.  I added the lone woman on the beach to suggest times of reflection and questioning. She also implies the vastness of it all. 

     I actually saw a heart-shaped cloud in the sky recently, so I added it to suggest the amazing ways that Father God sends reminders of his love for us. This is especially true for me when I am struggling.       

  Most of the time we miss it.  He sends so many people and remarkable things our way, so if we do ask, or search, we can find Him. He wants to bless us and help us, but we must ask and receive it! (He will not force his ways on us.)
