Whirling Dervish.Semi-Abstract......Pastel..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

I began this with a pour of watercolor and acrylics on an Ampersand board.
At the time of the pour, I had no idea what I wanted to paint, so I decided to just play with the liquid media.

When it naturally dried, I began to wade through my photos, and decided to use KOI as my muse having watched and photographed tons of these fish on Maui on my last trip there.

I used my pastel pencil to draw the shapes into the painted areas, and then proceeded to overlay my pastels to retrieve the fish.

This is a large painting, 24" x 36" and is unframed. I hope you like it..

$500 Plus S/H ( contiguous USA. only).

Bountiful..Abstract Floral..Watercolor.. Texas Artist...Rae Andrews

Hot of the press! This is another 12" x 16" unframed watercolor on Arches paper.

Trying to stay as loose and 'playful' as I can with these florals.. Having a great deal of fun.

No pre-drawing at all involved, it's all allowing the paint to move and make the images. 

Try it, you will certainly have to let go of all the disciplines of traditional watercolor.

This image comes unframed.
12" x 16"
$150 including S/H within the contiguous USA.

Coconut Shadows..Semi Abstract..Pastel.. Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

Believe it or not this used to be horses. I decided I could do better, so I wiped it with alcohol and a rag and then splashed acrylics over the surface. The surface is a large Ampersand board by the way.

After my surface had dried, I worked my image into and over the marks, quite a challenge, but I think by now you all know how I love to challenge myself.

The photo reference was one I took on my recent trip to Maui.

This was great fun to do, although it took a while.

The size of this one is 24" x 36" unframed on board.

Source...Abstract...Pastel...Texas Artist...Rae Andrews

I walk daily with my dogs, and the area I walk is very lovely, full of trees.. I have seen the remnants of a wonderful old tree continually on my walks, it's  really just a stump with exposed roots, but to an artist, it is lovely. To anyone else, probably it's just good firewood. :((

So today I decided to give you all my 'impression' of what I see daily.

Of course with my penchant for COLOR and MOVEMENT , you are sure to realize my image is wildly embellished .

This is a 5" x 10" pastel on gatorboard (unframed).

Neon Damsels..SOLD!...Abstracted Landscape...Pastel...Texas Artist...Rae Andrews

NEON DAMSELS began with a wash of bright magenta and orange liquid acrylic over a textured board..

When dry, I then began to superimpose my tree forms over this with willow charcoal.

With pastel pencils I first enhanced and subdued some of the colors before going in with a touch of soft pastels, feeling my way so to speak.

I did not like the texture the soft pastels made, so I used a brush loaded with water and flattened areas out, see the bottom trees and shrub areas and foliage.

I had a hard time making fine linear marks with my pastels. Even my pastel pencils are not fine enough, so I used a fine rigger brush dipped in watercolor, and made the branches. 

Some final pastel touches were gently integrated over the watercolor and I was happy.


This image is an 8" x 10" unframed pastel on gatorboard.

This image is SOLD!

Golden Splendor..Landscape, Semi Abstracted..Pastel......Texas Artist...Rae Andrews

I began this one with a very bright random coverage of MAGENTA liquid acrylic on a TEXTURED board. 
When this had dried, I drew a simple landscape and worked my pastels over the top of the magenta. 
I like the bounce of colors in this one. It is almost completely covered with pastels, the acrylic is just a start.
More to come, hope you like it.

Zig Zag Lane...Acrylic...Landscape...Texas Artist...Rae Andrews

I am in an experimental mode right now. ZIG ZAG LANE  is the third I have done in different media.. I have not posted the others and may never do so..:((

I am looking for a sharp contrast in my colors as always. This is done an Richeson board again, a deep rust color.

These boards are good for so many mediums..Try them, I think you would have fun.

This scene is completely made up, but I know several of you have walked up this kind of ZIG ZAG LANE  before, I know I have.

Lava Dance...Abstract.. Pastel over Liquid Acrylics.. Texas Artist...Rae Andrews

LAVA DANCE  is reminiscent of the Maui volcano flows. To watch the real thing is absolutely beautiful! But very scary and awesome (not to mention, smelly!

The pastel medium is a wonderfully pure medium for color, and over the liquid acrylics, I am loving the interaction of these two mediums.

The support is gatorboard and this one is a fairly deep rust color to begin with. I had to really push my contrast color on this, to make it have impact.

I worked mainly in the reds and its analagous colors with the lime green compliment, and a touch of blue to make it 'pop'.

                                                         Image size is 5.5" x 7.5" (unframed)

                                                     $150 inc. S/H within the contiguous USA.

Neptune's Nautilus...Watermedia...Abstract..Texas Artist.... Rae Andrews

NEPTUNE'S NAUTILUS  is a large 36" x 48" watercolor and acrylic overlays. This image is SOLD!

This painting was painted a long time ago, however during my walk down 'MEMORY LANE" I found it in my archives and wanted to post it.

It was during the days I lived on Maui and  I did a lot of PANELLED PIECES, using geometry and dividing the background into sections. I still enjoy doing this, it takes a lot of thought on my part as an artist, which I do feel is necessary for us to grow. 

What is an artist without 'angst' huh?

Heat Of The Day.. Semi Abstract..Pastel and Acrylic... Texas Artist ...Rae Andrews

I stretched the mood a little more with this one, making my colors a little more intense.And the board was a deep rust color, so the colors I painted over this had to be a but more 'gutsy' for effect.
This is a pastel on a sanded board. I used my acrylics first, to get a REALLY bright start, then used my pastels over the top.

Blue Concerto..Abstract.. Pastel over Liquid Acrylics..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

Having recently played with the Richeson sanded boards, liquid acrylics and pastel overlays,  I thought I would continue with this image in the same vein..

As mentioned before with my previous post, these boards will allow a lot of mixed media under painting, and the way the colors of the pastel overlays GLOW is magical!

I so wish more pastel societies would allow ABSTRACT imagery in their competitions, in actual fact, these are way more difficult (in this artist's humble opinion), than a traditional landscape image.

Image size (unframed) 

6" x 9"

This image comes presented matted and ready for framing.

Ascension..Abstract..Pastel over Liquid Acrylics...Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

ASCENSION was a challenge, for me, however, a MOST rewarding one. 

I am not one to overlay my pastels with other mediums. I usually just use pastel.

However, having won a whole bunch of art supplies recently (thank you Jack Richeson's Art Supplies) I had a lot of GATORBOARD. 

These boards are a great surface for mixed media such as watercolor, acrylics and pastels.. All are happy to PLAY together on this surface.


                               So here is my PASTEL ABSTRACT effort on GATOR BOARD .

Shell Fantasy 2...Abstract...Watercolor...Texas Artist Rae Andrews

Although this image SOLD many years ago, it was always a favorite of mine. 

I did it when I lived on Maui, so the tropical influence was with me for certain.

It is a watercolor on a watercolor board.. and was done in the days I frequently used a lot of divisional backgrounds. 

Somehow this type of painting still holds up today. I still use this technique at times and still love doing it. It makes the artist really think.
