Shadowed Delight...Pastel... Semi-Abstract...Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

I began this as a wet into wet watercolor under painting. 

By now you might guess, I love shape finding, and enhancing 'intrigue'.

This image hopefully suggests layers of such 'intrigue'.

Parts of the painting are made up, other sections are from my photos taken on Maui during my last trip.

Eventually throughout the process (though) I just put the reference away and let my pastels 'do the talking' .

I hope you enjoy this image, it was a fun one to do.

Image is unframed and is on a Richeson sanded foam board. 
It is 12" x 18"

Shell Design ..Semi Abstract...Pastel...Texas Artist...Rae Andrews

This is another semi abstract design done in pastels over acrylics.

I simply love this process. I never know the outcome, and these designs are always a challenge to me.

The whole surface is eventually covered in pastels in the form of pastel pencils and the soft variety sticks, after a fluid start with liquid acrylics and water.

I chose this elongated format as an added challenge, this gets me away from the 'expected' and I like the surprise .

The substrate is a white Richeson Sanded Board , which are fast becoming my favorite substrate for this mixed media work.

Original image is 20" x 7.7" (unframed

After The Rain..Pastel...Texas Artist...Rae Andrews

I have been just edging my way through some old demos half finished, and this one was a test to my 'gentle side' of painting. :))

I usually love bold and dramatic colors as you know,so this high key painting was a discipline for me.

I think I like it, and might do more in this vein. 

The scene is here in Austin. I was on a walk with the puppies on the greenbelt in Lakeway, and we had just gotten caught in a small rain shower. The colors on the water were so romantic and soft. I knew I would have to paint it.

This image is in pastels on sanded paper and is 11.5" x 15.5" (unframed)

Tropical Haze...Abstract...Pastel over Acrylics..Texas Artist...Rae Andrews

Tropical Haze began as an acrylic pour on a Richeson sanded board. 
I then worked semi abstracted leaves/flowers over this in my pastels.

Don't let anyone tell you ABSTRACTS are a cop out or easy for the artist! They make you think very hard on the outcome of the painting and design, arguably more than a realistic painting.

I love doing these paintings! For some reason they relax me, not the other way around.
I hope you like this one.

$220 plus S/H
Image size is 10" x 16" and this image is unframed.
