Embrace the Extraordinary in Emily Schultz McNeil’s Art

“All things await the sensitive and imaginative mind that is raised to pleasurable emotion at the sight of them. This is beauty. The art student that should be, and is so rare, is the one who spends his life in love. He also nurtures his personal sensations. He cherishes his emotions and never undervalues them. He finds pleasure in exclaiming them to others and eagerly searches for their clearest expression.” – Robert Henri

Emily Schultz McNeil is a born-and-raised Northwest painter who enjoys painting the garden and her beautiful still-life settings. She also likes to paint experiences she has lived through and landscapes she loves.

Emily’s art education consisted of taking classes and workshops. She read books and watched videos of her favorite artists. Emily also went to museums and galleries. She is grateful to Brent Burkett. He nurtured her in his quiet way through the techniques of “real art.” She appreciates Tom Browning, who told her he thought she would make it as an artist. She thanks Morgan Weistling for his kindness and critique, which still makes her smile when she thinks of them. She acknowledges Scott Christensen for the abundance of knowledge he shared. She admires Dan Gerhartz for his teaching on color temperature, his critiques, and his inspiring life and paintings.

Now, Emily is painting lots of fresh flowers, which have been very well received by her collectors. She shows her work at the Fairweather House and Gallery in Seaside. She had solo shows at the Lawrence Gallery in Oregon.

Emily hopes her paintings will add to the beauty of the world. She wants to infuse vibrant colors and intricate details. These details capture the essence of nature and humanity alike. She aims for a divine connection that inspires others. It should motivate people to seek the extraordinary in the ordinary. Her Art should be a place for your soul to rest. It provides solace and tranquility in a chaotic world. It invites viewers to pause, think, and find joy in the subtle nuances of life that often go unnoticed. Through each brushstroke, she strives to forge a shared experience. This experience resonates deeply, linking hearts and minds. It promotes an appreciation of the splendid tapestry of creation.

Emily Schultz McNeil invites you to see the world through her Art and painting. She offers a perspective on beauty and elegance. She captures exquisite light and rich color. Her trained eye shows disciplined skill. An alluring charm blends with her technique.

“Fine Art allows us to view our everyday moments as they are meant to be. These moments are full of loveliness.” ESM

Take from your experience and make it your own. Arrange things the way they were in your daydream. Make the daydream in the realm of reality as close to the dream as you can. Spend time perfecting the still life first.

Experience One-of-a-Kind Egg Art at Fairweather Gallery.

COLLECTING, an exhibition of handmade eggs.

Collecting one-of-a-kind eggs elevates the egg to a piece of art.

When Easter arrived, eggs became a special treat, decorated to mark the end of the fast.

Historically, during Lent, eating eggs was not allowed, so people hard-boiled them to preserve them.

COLLECTING Fairweather’s spring exhibition celebrates one-of-a-kind craftsmanship. Whether glass, marble, mouth-blown, crystal, porcelain, or painted wood eggs that celebrate renewal and elegance are made by hand.

European spring festivals were linked to hares and the renewal of life. The tradition links the rabbit’s fertility to the egg’s fertility. Bunnies and eggs are festive holiday symbols, even though they are biologically impossible.

Artists create hand-painted eggs using delicate painting techniques. These techniques need both skill and creativity. The eggs become cherished personal heirlooms passed down through generations. These exquisite pieces of art are often included in traditional collections. These collections celebrate cultural heritage. They showcase intricate designs that show the rich history and artistry of their creators. The process of hand-painting transforms simple eggs into stunning decorations. It also preserves a timeless craft. This craft connects communities in their shared appreciation of artistry.

Sand Dollars are sea urchins that live on the ocean floor and are recognized as white, flower-patterned “shells.” These are the bleached skeletons (called tests) of the animals. Living sand dollars are typically purple, reddish-brown, or gray with a velvet-like coating of tiny spines.

  • They use their spines to crawl along or burrow into the sand. They are filter feeders. They use tiny hairs (cilia) to move food, like algae and crustacean larvae, to a central mouth on their underside.
  • The “Doves”: Inside their mouths is a complex jaw called Aristotle’s lantern, with five tooth-like sections. When broken, these five pieces fall out and are often called “doves” in folklore.
  • Aging: You can find out a sand dollar’s age by counting the growth rings on its test. They generally live 6 years.
  • Weight Belts: Young sand dollars sometimes swallow heavy grains of sand. They use grains like magnetite to act as anchors. These grains weigh them down in rough currents.
  • Social Living: They are often found in massive groups, with as many as 625 individuals living in a single square yard

Gulls are notoriously difficult to recognize. Their plumage changes significantly as they age. It often takes two to four years to reach full adult coloration.

  • Intelligence: They are resourceful problem-solvers. For example, they drop hard-shelled mollusks onto rocks to break them open.
  • Behavior: They are social birds that nest in loud, densely packed colonies. They are known for “kleptoparasitism,” the habit of stealing food from other birds.
  • Protection: In many regions, including the U.S. and the UK, gulls are protected by law, making it

“Gull” is the technically correct term used by bird experts (ornithologists). “Seagull” is an informal name that can mislead about their habitats. Many gull species thrive in various environments, including freshwater locations. With over 50 species worldwide, each with unique characteristics, precise naming is essential for understanding and conservation. By calling them “gulls,” we recognize their ecological significance and appreciate avian diversity.
