Castlefranc Reflections..Watercolor...Texas Artist...Rae Andrews

Castlefranc is a lovely village near to where we stayed last May in southwest France.

I did this painting as a demo, back in the studio from a photo I took. The reflections were lovely in this village. A painting waiting to happen for sure!

A Gentle Sway to the Left..Oil..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

.

And now for something completely different! Yep, I actually got out my poor old oil paints today and decided to break into them 'gently' as it's been a few years.

This is an oil panel, no idea what brand, I think it's one I gessoed myself eons ago.

I did tint the panel first with a magenta acrylic, and that is the color you see peeping through the oil overlays.

I love to work on a tinted surface, and mostly it's been with my pastel and watercolor/gouache paintings I admit. So why not my oils?

 I think I will try to do more of these smaller oils for a while, they are a challenge for me.. 

I love a challenge, don't you? I mean, we can get stagnated in our thoughts and practices in our art, (at least I do), and get stuck on things that feel safe for us.

Setting a challenge occasionally (with color, subject or medium ..even all of the above) , can stop the monotony, if nothing else, it will make you step out of 'SAFE MODE' and make you work harder.. 

So.....Don't get comfortable, or formularize your art, that's the kiss of death. I have seen many very capable artists 'paint themselves out' when they stick to only one area of expertise/genre, one that sells for them, or one in which they feel SAFE.

It's size is 8" x 10"

Peaceful Interlude..Watercolor..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

I did this one a while ago, when I was just revisiting the wet into wet technique. A favorite way for watercolorists to paint. The danger of this technique is that we can lose the whites of the paper easily. I know I did with this one, but thought I would show it anyway.

I worked a little on it again today, to glaze some soft washes over places, it helped I think.

Lakeside Cluster..Pastel..Texas Artist.. Rae Andrews

This is really from my imagination. I had this red piece of Sennelier paper cut in the elongated shape with which I love to challenge myself.






It seems to have been so long since I have been in my gorgeous studio, I have missed it terribly!


I will try to post more often. Just a series of life changes have interrupted me for now.


                                                    I hope you like this one.

Morning Glow on Sugar Beach..Pastel..Texas Artist..Rae Aandrews

I just finished this pastel seascape. The scene is from Maui, a photo I took while on my morning walk last year. Sugar Beach is a wonderful walking beach near Maalaea.

The glow is simply magical in the morning light.

So here is my interpretation of the scene.

Greenbelt Beauty..Gouache.. Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

 I love to paint these 'small gems'while watching TV at night (especially during the LONG ad breaks!

One would think after painting all day in my studio, I would have had enough huh? But no, I need to still keep at it.Some of these small ones might become a larger painting down the line, who knows.

This one was finished last night. The scene is one I see regularly on my lovely morning walks with the dogs.

This painting is in gouache on Fabriano paper.

Skyscape 1..Watercolor..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

I decided to do some small little skyscapes in readiness for maybe doing a larger watercolor painting down the line.

I enjoyed the process, just doing 6 small paintings in quick succession. It loosens you up and keeps you to a minimum of detail.

This is a 6.5" x 6.5" watercolor on Arches paper.

Quiet Time...Pastel...Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

Well what can I say? I wanted a change from the crusty olf men I have been painting of late, and this could not be farther from that subject.

I have never been one to paint in a 'romantic' genre, but this subject was so appealing to me with that light.
I made the model a redhead though, she was a dark brunette originally.Somehow the reds felt better .. Of course that blue went to well with those warm colors too.
I was on the internet and came across Richard S. Johnson's romantic art.
It was his website where I saw that wonderful blue.
I had this photo from a few year ago and thought why not, I can do this in that 'romantic' genre.

It started better than it finished though, might have to try doing it again.

This one is a pastel on light gray velour paper and is unframed.

Once Was Morocco. Pastel Portrait..Texas Artist...Rae Andrews

It seems I am on a portrait kick for now. 

This old man was watching the snake charmer in my last post.

He had the softest blue eyes, I suspect he might have had very poor eyesight. But a great subject for moi!

This is another pastel on velour paper.

It is 14" x 14" unframed.
