Make a Joyful Noise, oriole song bird with flowers

"Make a Joyful Noise"


This oriole is the third in a tryptic I did quite a while ago.  Just made it available in print.  

Titled it based on a song my youth group used to sing, from the Bible.  Psalms 100: Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye, all ye lands! Bless the Lord, the Lord with gladness, and come into his presence with singing, for the Lord, the Lord is good and it is He that hath made us.........


Enjoy!

Falling Fast, waterfall


"Falling Fast"
© Fawn McNeill 2013

This started as a demo for my adult class. Didn't have time to work on it much during class as I was helping my students, so I worked on it later.  I got carried away with the details when I finished it up! 

I love the shadows in the rushing water. 

I know put in too many hours, but I enjoyed it. I love it when I get lost in that timeless zone and lose track of time!

~ Acrylic on hardboard
~ 9 x 12 inches

Easy Does It, Southern sunset, palms, wildlife

"EASY DOES IT"

Been working on this one for a couple of years, off and on.  Finally decided to add a turtle instead of birds on the trunk of the closer palm. I was inspired while out on a fishing trip.  Just love the way the palms grow upward after being blown down in a storm. 

Enjoy!

Peppys Picasso, animal portrait

"PEPPYS PICASSO"

Finally finished up this painting, which I started before I had to have major surgery. Had a month of being in bed, and then trying to re-open my gallery, so it has been one of those things that I kept working on in between everything else. It really turned out nice, however. 
Peppy is a two time world champion in the western reining events. He has won other honors as well.  He is a magnificent horse. I think I have done justice to him.

Just before Christmas, my appendix ruptured and encapsulated my ovary.  I went around for over two weeks with pain, thinking It was my ovary. I was diagnosed with an ovarian tumor and cysts, which are common. My ovary was swollen to the size of an orange because all the poisons went into my female organs.  Needless to say, when they went in to take out the tumor they found a mess! A large sticky ball of goo instead of a tumor.  They took out everything. Ended up with a hysterectomy and an appendectomy, and they cleaned out all the poisons.  I am fortunate to be alive, as often the toxins kill people.  I am two months into recovery, and still battle the pain from it, although it is not nearly as severe.

(Click here to read more about the new studio and the cool dreams I had just before my appendix ruptured.)

I thank the Lord for giving me a new lease on life, and I look forward to what he has for me next!

Fond Memories, mountain landscape with horses running


"Fond Memories"

Made most of this painting from memory. Actually I created it from a few different memories of my summers in Montana, and I also combined different horses.  I put the Swede mountain range in the distance, but used the gorge from  Libby Creek to set it all off.  I made the stream bigger than I remember it too. It was always a muddy mess right here where the horses crossed it regularly.  I added less mud and more water to clean it up some.  Plus I love all the splash.  I used some photos for the horses, but left a few of them out and changed their colors to symbolize my childhood dreams.  This painting took months to complete, and then I went back and reworked it too.  

ENJOY!
