Bangalay Corroboree..Pastel..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews


I had Aboriginals in mind when I painted this one. in their language, BANGALAY means Eucalyptus Tree and CORROBOREE means an event/ dance..hence the title..

**** I have since discovered that the language can differ regionally (throughout Australia )and for the species of tree ..

So BANGALAY might be incorrect in a general sense , but for the sake of this painting I will keep the title as is..

Of Corpus Contrasts..Pastel..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews


 I just finished this one in my cozy studio while the sleet falls outside and the temperatures drop..

Brr... it's cold today. A great day to be painting!

This one is on an Ampersand Pastelboard.

I usually stay away from this kind of support as I prefer one with more 'tooth' to it for my pastels. However, this one worked pretty well for me, so I am glad I persevered.

Bouquet..Watercolor Floral..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews



BOUQUET was the demo I did yesterday for my WET INTO WET workshop.

Thank you to all the eager students who came along, it was a fun day. Although I know they were exhausted at the end of it..
I love to paint these kinds of free paintings, no planning at all, just play.

I rarely like my demos, but this one I actually did enjoy the finished result. Hope you do also.

This image is 14" x 20" unframed and is pure watercolor on Arches paper.

$200 plus S/H

Pink Prize...Watercolor Floral...Texas Artist..Rae Andrews



This is a wet into wet watercolor I finished yesterday.

I love the challenge of no pre-drawing, just wetting the whole surface and allowing the colors to make shapes.

The difficult part is the degree of 'wetness' the artist has to govern to prevent those pesky 'blooms' which sometimes appear out of nowhere.
Of course 'pulling it altogether' is also a challenge with 'negative painting'..

I worked this whole painting in this wet into wet technique and it was great fun.

This image is a 14" x 17" unframed painting.

$150 plus S/H.

Lilies...Pastel...Texas Artist...Rae Andrews



LILIES began with a watercolor throw in. Loose and with no pre-conceived notion of my subject at all.
After the colors all dried, I found I could work flowers into them. What a surprise..lol!

I think FLORALS are possibly the easiest subject for me to go with using this abstract throw in of wet media.

I had this photo of lilies from years ago and decided, with a few moderations, to let it guide me through this painting.

The substrate is UArt paper mounted onto acid free foamcore.
This image is 18" x 12" unframed 
$280 Plus S/H
