Shoreline, Plein Air Painting

"Shoreline "

5 x 7 inches

Acrylic on hardboard

NOT AVAILABLE

Went back to lock G-36 yesterday (which is still closed due to lack of water). It was cool and breezy in the morning, and I wanted to capture the cool, blueish shadows in the rocks. The egrets were all around, so I added one here on the shore.

The water in the rim canal around the levee is getting very full. The water in the lake is still very low. They are not opening up the locks and letting the water flow because all of the canals and creeks will stay too low. I guess they figure people can at least get their boats in the water this way.

It is sad to see what was once a grand wetland with tons of wildlife shrink away to dry land. Lake Okeechobee seems to be disappearing.

Acrylic on cradled hardboard

Saw this plant one day while I was out painting en plein air. I was taking pictures of some birds and saw these little flowers glowing in the sun. They stood out so nicely against the water. I painted this from one of those photos.

New Day, Atlantic sunrise, Daily painting

"New Day"

8 x 10 inches

Acrylic on canvas

SOLD

I painted this from photos I took at the beach. I love to get up early and watch the sunrise. No people are around, and everything is quiet. The colors range from pastels to dark shadows. It is so surreal.

Storm Watch, abstract art

"Storm Watch"

9 x 12 inches

Acrylic on hardboard

NOT AVAILABLE

Just goofing around today. This type of painting is fun to do, just put down colors and see where it takes me.

I started with a rainbow type of layout, and then just started pulling colors together. I lost the yellows in the red and green, but thought it looked like grass, so then I added more grass.

The rocks started showing up with reflected lights, which I thought was too cool, so I added more purple in the shadows to strengthen them.

The water looked like an ocean right from the start, so I added the waves to make the storm surf.

 The sky changed about three times, and when the dark shadows showed up I thought it was perfect for the way the grass was so blown about.

Lavender Dreams Again, Daily Painting

" Lavender Dreams Again"

9 x 12 inches

Acrylic on hardboard

SOLD

This is the fifth in a series I started back in July 2007. I love painting from my imagination. This is completely from memory.

Yellow is symbolic for joy, and purple is symbolic for the unknown or spiritual things. So this painting combines both of those ideas.

This is a commissioned painting. If you see a painting you want to have that is not available, I can do something similar. Just email me for current prices.

Simple Faith, Wildlife Art by Fawn

"Simple Faith"

24 x 30 inches

Acrylic on canvas

$2,000.00

The painting was created in 2003 as part of a drippy series. I began with thin washes of acrylic paint on a canvas. Then the great blue heron was added in thick opaque paint. I like the abstract feel of the background against the detail and realism of the heron. The whole painting is then sealed three times.

The drips and runs are symbolic of tears and sorrow. The heron is symbolic of rising above rough times and trusting God to see you through it all. He promises to use trials for our ultimate good.
