Hot-Hot-Hot, still life

"Hot-Hot-Hot"
9 x 12 inches
Acrylic on canvas

Not Available

I didn't get today's painting done, so I thought I would post this little gem that I did for a very dear friend of mine back in 2002.

This painting was done in many thin layers with lots of gloss medium mixed into the paint. It was painted from a still life that I set up and worked on over a period of a week. Each layer of paint must be completely dry to apply the next layer. Every layer effects the next. I really like the warm colors in the tomato and the counter top, but the contrast of the cool colors in the hot pepper just set it all off. There was a window off to the right, and the reflected bluish light was quite evident.

Thanks for looking!

No, I didn't go to the Caribbean Islands to paint this one (although that is not a bad idea). I went to Jensen Beach this morning and painted at a resort called Caribbean Shores. It was very windy and cool, and these palms were so beautiful I had to try my hand at them!

Great Egret's Grace, wildlife art by Fawn

"Great Egret's Grace"

20 x 24 inches

Wood frame with rope pattern

Acrylic on canvas

$525.00

Detail:

This is a painting that I did in 2004. I did a series of about ten paintings with drips and runs. I would throw the paint on in thin layers and then put the thick paint over the top for detail. It makes a nice contrast -- not only in the surface texture but also in the transparent to opaque paint quality. I have recently softened the small waves in the foreground.

This painting started as a demonstration for an art lesson, then later I added more detail and the seagulls. I love the foam and the way the waves lead your eye right to the gulls.

Winter Marsh, Egrets, Lake Port Florida, Daily Painting

"Winter Marsh"

9 x 12 inches

(ready to frame)

Acrylic on Hardboard
$675.00

I am still working on some things I was reminded of at my workshop a week ago. I used a reversed "C" shape to plan out the composition and I tried to use some less intense colors away from the focal point. I like the effect: as if the sun is trying to come through on the right and the birds are about to fly out of the picture!

Taylor Creek, Plein Air Painting by Fawn

"Taylor Creek"

8 x 10 inches

Acrylic on hardboard

Ready to frame

Went out late this morning, and it was so hot for November! 85 degrees. But the wind was blowing and the sun light made everything easier to paint. I found a cypress tree to set up under and got two paintings done. Beautiful day.

I am working with some new colors. I also tried to make a plan and really slow down. So much more enjoyable. Things go much smoother if I don't change my mind half way through the painting!

Thanks for Looking!
