Second Look, Florida Landscape

"Second Look"

About This Painting:

This is the third painting I did at the Adams Ranch a little more than a week 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 just love the way it turned out! They don't all go so well.

This is the right side of the path I posted last week. The spring actually runs all the way around the little hill in that painting (End of the Road).

Enjoy!

End of the Road, Florida landscape

"End of the Road"

Finnally got to get out and paint!This is at the Adams Ranch at last Saturday's paint-out. The water actually runs all the way around the little hill. These natural springs are all over the ranch. Some of them have a sulfur smell to them, but this one didn't. The kite birds kept swooping down in front of me, and I was able to get some pretty good photos of them. It was cool and breezy too. What a perfect morning!

Had wonderful paint-out in Fort Peirce with Lori McNamara -- Everything was bright and colorful. It was my first time out in a few months. A cool breeze, warm sunshine, lilies blooming, and all kinds of birds posing right in front of me.... Got a lot of great pictures while I painted this scene. Totally enjoyed myself.

Spoonbill, landscape with natural spring

"Spoonbill"

About This Painting:

Went out to the Adams Ranch for an annual artist's days paint out. This is one of the many natural springs that flow through the ranch. The water is clear and very turquise. this photo doesn't pick up the colors in the painting very well, but the blues are a little more of a greenish hue.

I added the spoonbill when I got home, I had seen it flying overhead while out painting, way too cool! (Spoonbills have a shorter neck than flamingos, and they range from white and soft light pinks, to dark pinks, almost a red color, and somtimes they have yellow accents too. Very strange looking bird, with a flat duck like bill. Very pretty colors though!)

The painting continues on the sides which are close to 2 inches thick, so framing is optional.

Before the Rain, landscpae with bald eagle

"Before the Rain"

About This Painting:

Plein air painting, Lori McNamara and I got rained out. Some of the painting was distorted slightly, but most of it held up with the rain water all over it. I repainted parts of it and also finished it at home. The eagle was off to the right of this area. Lori got a great picture of him (see below). I moved him to the left so I could include him in my painting.

Open, water lily

"Open"

I am trying to use my watercolors more for plein air studies. Went to White City Park on Tuesday morning. It was lovely out, birds everywhere, and flowers blooming in all the ponds. This lily had just started to open up when I got there. By the noon hour it had completely unfolded, and the petals were even hanging down in the water!

About This Painting:

I have been trying to get out more and work on location. It is alla prima (all at once).

About This Painting:

I painted this doble hibiscus yesterday in the late afternoon out in my yard. It was done alla prima (all at once).
I used watercolor this time, which is not my usual medium. But I hope to start using watercolors more often. I love the watermarks and cool effects you get sometimes, like little surprises!

Sunny Shadows

"Sunny Shadows"

About This Painting:

Got out this morning, and painted these lovely shadows on the side of the house! I was interested in the way the bright yellow plant contrasted with the blue cast shadows on the house. I also liked the way the whole painted translated into spots of color and light.

Orchid Study

"Orchid Study"

About This Painting:

Got out this morning and painted these lovely orchids that my husband grows. This is actually the second try, as the first one got to detailed in the background and took away from the flowers, So I simplified the background and then repainted the orchids!

It was a wonderful morning, cool and breezy for a change. I was enjoying myself and then just as I was finishing the second try, my husband starts weed-eating! There were bugs and grass flying everywhere. So I called it quits and helped with the yard work.

Thanks for looking!

Spider Lily Morn by Fawn McNeill

"Spider Lily Morn"

About This Painting:

I got out very early this morning, to paint before the heat is unbearable. The spider lilies are blooming everywhere, and these had a nice tree behind them to set them off. I darkened the colors of the sky too, as the sunlight began to shine right on the lilies. The colors were amazing.

I had a client ask me if they were real, she said they look like something from outer space!

Painted en plein air, alla prima. (Out doors, all in one session.)

Oak Study

"Oak Study"

I went to the coast and painted with my plein air group today. This old oak blew over years ago. The way it grew back interested me because of its very graceful shape. If I use it for a larger painting I will add a muddy bank and some water and a rope swing hanging over the water, now that sounds fun!

Winter Blooms, Bogainvillaeas

"Winter Blooms"

These bougainvillaeas are blooming in my front yard. So striking against all the brown grass and leafless trees. It was windy and I didn't stay out long, but I really enjoyed it.

This is my first chance to do any plein air painting in months. After my husband got so sick I only stole an hour here and there while he was sleeping. So good to have him back! He is about 80 % back to his old self. I should say his new self. He is so grateful and opens up so much more often now.

Finally getting back to my plein air paintings! I had a lovely morning. The birds were singing and the rays of sun were peeking through the trees. This is part of my husband's garden, the tomatoes and peppers are just off to the left. I added the little blue jay right away, to convey the feeling of the song birds.

Rising Water

"Rising Water"
8 x 10 inches
Acrylic on canvas board
(canvas mounted on hardboard)
Ready to frame

This is a painting I did on location last July. I have reworked it a little because it had always bothered me. I have toned it down some and added an egret and an alligator. The alligators are often hard to see, so I hid him at the lower right. (Click on the image for zoom)

This painting is at Lake Okeechobee. Our water level is up to an average of ten feet. It has been almost two years now that it has been below this very low average.

There is a teenage boy that was attacked by an alligator here at Nubbin's Slough last month. Why he was in the water swimming at night in this area is beyond me. You can see large alligators that live here at any given time. They wait by the lock where the water flows into the lake, and they feed on anything that comes through.

Thanks for looking!
