Tidepool Interrupted..Pastel..Texas Artist...Rae Andrews

I love to watch water move, whether it's a waterfall,  a pond or pool with a slight rippling effect. It's all mesmerizing to me and very peaceful.

I tried to capture that feeling with this one. That action of looking down into a rock pool when a ripple breaks the surface with such wonderful patterns. 

I hope you like this one, it was a fun one to paint.

This image is a pastel (unframed ) on Sennelier sanded paper.

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.

Descent.........Abstract...Acrylic on Canvas.. Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

DESCENT  was a part of a solo show I had here in Texas this year. It SOLD to a client in Houston.

I used the panelled background in this semi abstracted piece as well.. As I said, this way of painting is a favorite of mine. I love using that GEOMETRY and DIVISIONAL sectioning in a more NATURAL setting.
For me, it disturbs the eye, and gives the viewer a different perspective on a scene.
I have had clients say to me "What is that panel. why is that there ?" my answer, "I don't know", it just "felt right".

For whatever reason, it works for me, and I will likely continue to paint images with these panels. I hope you enjoy.

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?
