Boat Trail, Lake Okechobee Lily pads, Daily Painting

"Boat Trail"

12 x 6 x 1.5 inches

Acrylic on Gallery-wrap canvas

(Sides are painted)

SOLD

This is about the in-between stuff. Instead of the lily pads being the main thing, I wanted the water in-between them to be the main thing. Does that make sense? I remember looking out at the endless lily pads and feeling like they just go on forever.

Up Date: This painting won a purchase award at Sebring's Art Festival! (11/10/07)

Kitty, Pet Portrait by Fawn

"Kitty"

5 x 7 inches

Acrylic on canvas panel

I was interested in the analogous color scheme of this kitty on the plush red rug. Her eyes have just enough green to give them good contrast. It made her look so soft and inviting.

Freedom, Plein Air Lanscape by Fawn

"Freedom"

8 x 10 inches

Acrylic on hardboard

After doing laundry, running errands, grocery shopping, etc . . . I started to do some yard work in the early afternoon. But I got my priorities straight this time and pulled out my easel first! It was just too perfect: nice cool breeze, bright sunshine, and a perfect view in the shade. This is the first time in 6 or 7 months that it has been cool enough to paint past noon.

I live next door to the Freedom Ranch, south of Okeechobee city, and this is one of the great views I have of their ranch. Down the long driveway you will find an open-air church among horses, cows, and dogs. Quite an interesting place.

After I did this painting I got busy and did some yard work too. Just wanted to pull a few weeds, but my husband cut down a tree, and had me hauling off branches . . . Am I glad I painted first!

I didn't finish today's painting, so here is one I did on location in South Carolina a couple of years ago. It was so cold that morning that my fingers stopped working! I painted until I couldn't hold the brush . . .

Fall's Splendor 2, Autumn Leaves, Daily Painting by Fawn

"Fall's Splendor 2"

8 x 10 inches

(ready to frame)

This is Lake Carolina near my sister's house. I did some plein air work in watercolors while I was visiting, and took lots of pictures. I did this painting today from some of those pictures. This is the second painting of this area that I have done recently. Good memories.

From Ruck's Road, Dairy Cows, Plein Air Painting by Fawn

"From Rucks Road"

16 x 20 inches

Acrylic on canvas

SOLD

This is one of my earlier plein air paintings. I did three paintings of the dairy cows on this country road. It wasn't so bad while I did this one very early. But then the cows came up near me . . . It was smelly, had lots of flies, and I was dripping in sweat by 8:00 am! I tried to shoo them off, but they hung out next to the fence.

Needless to say, I learned to set up in the shade, and I have not gone near the dairy to paint again! LOL.

Like a Rock, wildlife art by Fawn

"Like a Rock"

9 x 12 inches

Acrylic on hardboard

Sold

This great blue heron was standing so still that I did not even see him until the splash of the water made him show up! He startled me, because he was just two steps away. I started taking his picture from all angles, and he never moved, just a slight turn of the head to watch me. I had to laugh, It was as if he were saying, "I'm a rock, I'm a rock, I'm a rock!"

Splash Down, East Coast Beach

"Splash Down"

When I was at the beach, a couple of weeks ago, the foam and splash came up past my knees! What a wonderful morning.  

The wind and salt air took me back to my teen years when I lived in the Pacific Islands. We spent every event on the beach, in Hawaii, and in Guam. I enjoyed reliving the memories in this painting. 

Now I live inland- in the center of Florida. It is about an hour's drive from my house to the coast.  I haven't had such a great time there in a few months. The weather, the lighting, and the inspiration - well, it was just perfect.

Seagrapes, Alla Prima, Daily Painting

"Seagrapes"

9 x 12 inches

(ready to frame)

Acrylic on hardboard

This was a quick fun painting, it started as a study of a young seagrape bush, and turned into more of an abstract: with the focus on repeated circular shapes and bold colors. This plant was lit up with briliant light and wonderful deep shadows. As I painted it, it became more about the interesting shapes and patterns than the actual leaves and colors.

Rising Up, Atlantic Sunrise, Seagull,

"Rising Up"

20 x 24 inches

Acrylic on canvas

NOT AVAILABLE

This is another one from a couple of weeks ago when I went to the beach early and took a ton of pictures. I have rearranged the elements somewhat to emphasize the drama.

There is a lot of symbolism in this painting. Some things that were going through my mind include:

1.The rocks represent our trials and struggles.

2.The sunrise is for the hope we find in a new day.

3.The laughing gull is symbolic for trusting God to turn it all around. He will bring good out of the hardships we face if we trust Him.

Winning Time, Equestrian Art, Daily Painting by Fawn

"Winning Time"

11 x 14 inches

Acrylic on canvas

$875.00  Framed (see below)

Painted this from a photo I took at the rodeo here in Okeechobee. We have 2 big events each year, and some smaller ones also.

Started this painting at the beginning of this week, but I didn't get much time to work on it. I enjoyed playing with the abstract background, and contrasting that with the realistic horse and rider. I also like the determined look on the girls face.

Rim Water, Sunrise Landscape, Old oak, Plein Air

"Rim Water"

(Lake Okeechobee)

9 x 12 inches

Acrylic on canvas

This is another older painting that I did a few years ago, I have added the egrets and a few more highlights to it. My photography is better now too, much more true to the right colors, and contrast. Of course, each monitor varies some in color too. My camera tends to throw off a blue cast, so I am learning how to adjust for that and get a better image.

I am glad I painted it when I did, because this old tree was taken out and now a huge house is in it's place. Sad face here.

I have to go back to the courthouse today. Jury duty . . .
