Double The Trouble..Pastel..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

Some of you might recognize my boys, this is Pebbles and Bam Bam, the loves of my life!

They are from two photos I had and I wanted to place them in water, to try and get a reflection and ACTION image.

I made the water up. It was a fun image to paint, and I am pretty pleased with this one.

This image is 18" x 24" unframed

Cousins..Pastel..Texas Artist...Rae Andrews

COUSINS is another image of Kookaburras..One of Australia's national icons.
I had these photos from years ago, taken at a place called Featherdale which is west of Sydney.

I love this place, one can interact with the animals and get wonderful photos.

These two are both Kookaburras, one is a Blue Winged kookaburra and the other is the more common regular Kookie.

I had two separate shots and joined them into the one photo in Photoshop.

They were actually sitting on a bench where people could pat them, as they are rescue birds, and very used to humans.

I made the background up, to block out all the tourists.

This image is another pastel on velour paper.
9.5" x 10.5" unframed.

This image is SOLD!

Aussie Joker..Pastel..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

These are my all time favorite Aussie birds, I just adore them. They cackle all the time in the treetops, and it's always what I remember the most about waking up...  their chuckles. 

Once one starts, that sets them all off. So the Aussie bushland is constantly 'LAUGHING' at you..... Very funny!

This image is is a pastel on velour paper.

Me Too? Pastel..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

Another pastel on velour paper, this one is hot off the easel.  This little dog was somewhere on my travels in Europe, and I managed to get a few great photos of him/her.

I know a lot of artists steer clear of this VELOUR surface for their pastels and  I have to admit, it takes some getting used to. 

However, the magical results of that 'buttery' pastel color on this surface always has me captivated.

This image is 11" x 11" unframed.

Miss Nosey..Pastel..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

Meet Penny.. She was a wonderful dog, and belonged to my dear friend Evelyn,  both of whom have passed now.

Penny is a pastel on tan velour paper. I love this 'tricky' surface for my portraits, especially animals!

As I am conducting a pastel workshop with animals as my subject in January, I thought I had best 'pastel' up on my techniques.

The Gathering.. Pastel..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

This pastel is done on Sennelier sanded paper. It is unframed.
It measures 19.5" x 25.5"

The beautiful bird is actually of Gomez, who was my (BABY) macaw's 'boyfriend' when I lived on Maui.

I superimposed Gomez several times, but opted to just do the two birds and some made up flowers.

Coupled..Pastel..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

And now for something completely different!

I started this one a few weeks ago, and I am now finally wanting to get back into it.

It's a pastel on a sanded Richeson board.

Some of you might recall I had a mishap a few weeks ago when my studio leaked and rain splashed my pastel BACKWATER STICKS AND STONES.

The surprise of the lovely texture the rain left on my pastel surface made me want to repeat the whole process, this time deliberately.

I had this close focus photo of marine elements I took in Maui, and thought it was just the ticket to experiment with spontaneous texture.

I wanted the painting to be 'mottled' and 'worn looking, such as one sees when walking around a marina and looking at the ropes etc.

I hope you can see this effect okay, I am sort of liking it.

Falls.. Pastel..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

This is one I did many years ago. As you can possibly guess, it's from when I lived on Maui.

It began as a demo for the Hui No'eau which is an art school on Maui where I used to teach.

I did embellish it again recently, so here it is. 
I have been going through old works and seeing what I deem worthy to post. Hope you like.

Surf's Up...Watercolor...Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

I felt cool just painting this.. It's 90 degrees outside and climbing! 

I love doing these soft focus seascapes. Watercolor is the perfect medium in which to paint these.
It's more about what you leave out, rather than what your put in the painting.

I have to exercise a great discipline in leaving the whites though, and still keep the painting action packed and natural looking.
 I hope you like this one.
