Mantled Epoch..Pastel..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

Mantled Epoch is cut from the same paper as the previous post. I am glad I stuck with this set of abstracts, always a little worrying to rely on one's design sense, but I do love that 'angst' in my art.

 I began (after I had cut the full sheet in half as with my previous painting) by turning the remaining 'demo' image upside down. 

As I worked by blocking in some hefty darks, I rotated every few minutes, and kept doing that till I settled on a pleasing composition.

Just by rotating the piece as I progressed, I saw so many opportunities evolve. Each rotation looked so different, and the focus became a different area of the painting.

 I had a hard time, as with my previous post, to finally decide which rotation pleased me the most.
Eventually it was this one.

See the process of my thinking below, remember I had no reference with any of these abstracts, I just 'went with the flow' so to speak (pun intended).

This piece is 13" x 19" unframed
It is a pastel on red Sennelier paper.

$350 plus S/H

The Working Woman

 

12"x16"

cubist oil and mixed media on canvas

$225.00 + 10.00 shipping

 

This is the last of a series of linear cubism that I have done. It’s oil and mixed media on canvas. The story is about a Madam in Frankfurt who is at the end of her long career. I wanted the image to be one that portrays a life long journey to the realities of what her business decisions had made on her. I kept thinking of a woman in her 60’s with garish makeup and the brutalities she had faced in the underworld of prostitution. The hand was an important piece of the painting. It’s a colored x-ray and to me was a pivotal part of the painting. However, one can interpret their own subjective thoughts about it. Figurative abstract and cubism can have many perceptions and each one must decide how the piece effect them.
