Dalliance...Abstract..Pastel and Acrylic Inks...Texas Artist...Rae Andrews

Another small abstract.. 

This one is done with pastels over inks.. I had no idea what this paper was, but I mounted it onto the archival foamcore and away I went.

It had no tooth whatsoever, and I am glad I have no more of it. :((

As a result I stuck to small format images. Next time I will wear my glasses when selecting my papers..Ha!

The piece is inspired by a visiting dragon fly which comes to my backyard on a regular basis, it's quite stunning shimmering in the sun.

Jungle Patterns 2..Watermedia...Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

JUNGLE PATTERNS 2 is a 30" x 30" water media painting on black Canson paper.
This image is SOLD!

I love the layering process of watercolor and mixed media, in this case it was acrylic inks.Textured playing against one another for me, make for an interesting surface.
I also challenged myself with the black paper  Canson paper is not a watercolor surface, it's usually used with the pastel medium. Paint behaves very differently on this surface, hence the challenge.

The geometry paneling appears in a lot of my works, especially my earlier paintings, which this was.
I hope you enjoy this one.
