Heavenly Highlights, Southern sunset, landscape with livestock

"Heavenly Highlights"

This large painting took almost 9 years to create!  It was in progress when we where building a new house, and we also had three major hurricanes that year.  It ended up in storage two different times.  I got it back out from time to time and added more details.   

Originally it was full of downed trees and devastation from the storms.  I saw this sunset just after the first hurricane came through, and was inspired to paint it, but then I was not happy with the broken trees and littered landscape.  Each time I got it out I added more growth and life to it.   Finally I liked it.  My husband loved it and said I should display it, so I signed it and stopped adding more to it!

Sunrise Beach, Seascape with palm, demo painting

"Sunrise Beach"

Have done this one as a class demo a couple of times, always love it.  Added the palm tree this time, and more clouds.  My students are encouraged to use more pink or orange if they want a sunset instead of sunrise. Of course it could be either.

Morning Chatter,fox squirrel in a tree

"Morning Chatter"

This large fox squirrel had more to say than I wanted to hear!  He would not stop scolding me as I walked around under this tree.  Clearly I had invaded his space.  I finally got a few pictures of him before I moved on.

Cypress Shores 2, original landscape with egret, impressionism

"Cypress Shores 2"

© Fawn McNeill 2010

Created this from photos I took on the boat.  Robert and I went on a fishing trip down the rim canal near J & S fishing camp. Exaggerated the brush strokes to make it more impressionistic, really love that style.  I just framed this one in a custom made, hand painted frame (see below).

Flowers, Class Demo, red violet flowers

Flowers, Class Demo
© Fawn McNeill 2016

This was a fun lesson.  We used the bright green to set off the deep red-violet.  These complementary colors create another level of contrast than simply using dark values against light values. We also looked at using thick impressionistic strokes and not over blending the colors.  

Enjoy!

Gentle Song Too, waterfall, palette knife painting

"Gentle Song Too"

This painting is all about contrast.  I like the contrast of the light and dark values, but the cool and warm tones make a different kind of contrast too. I am also intrigued by the contrast of the flowing and moving water against the harsh rocks. The palette knife lends itself well to the abstract look of the rocks, and it emphasizes the movement in the water too.  It was originally created in 2010, but I have gone back and added more details.

Thanks for looking!

This is a custom painting.  Had fun playing up the background and reflecting it in Jack's fur.  Jack's humans are in the movie industry, so I thought this would reference theatrical lighting quite nicely!

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.

About This Painting:
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!

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.

Sun Down, sunset seascape, knife painting

"Sun Down"

This is an older painting, from my Daily Painting series when I was a member of Dailypainters.com.  (This is when I first started painting with palette knives.)  It is full of strong color and thick textures, which I still love to create. Painting with knives leads to unique mixtures of color, which is fun to experiment with.

Late Morning, lake with egrets

"Late morning"

© Fawn McNeill

This painting came from my own photos taken at a little lake just north of Sebring, Florida. 

It is an original painting that I created while teaching an art class. The lesson was on depth and distance.  We used atmospheric perspective to exaggerate the distance.  I went back later and strengthened details and the shadows, and then added the birds to finish it up.
