Shadow Dance..Pastel..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews


Another unframed pastel close focus of eucalyptus leaves.
I am loving this process of overlaying an abstraction  of colors over the subject. I do this in my app Sketch Club on my IPad.

 It gets me out of the ‘color doldrums’ and can totally surprise the eye..

This one is a pastel on Sennelier La Cate sanded paper..
It measures 14.5” x 19.4” unframed.
$350 plus S/H

Prints of this image are also available through Fine Art America.

Thanks for visiting..

Rae teaches workshops in pastel and watercolor in Europe and America.

Contact her through this blog or via her website for more info..

Leaves..Watercolor..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews



 I love to challenge myself with design.

 This was 'test' painting in readiness for a workshop I did.

I don't like to pre-draw images for the most part, and instead let my paints run and fold into each other making interesting designs into which I can 'fit' a subject ...

I used Golden Liquid Acrylics with a small squirt bottle to start this one. If one leaves a lot of white and interesting negative shapes, they have a better chance of finding a subject and bring it into focus.

I worked with WATERCOLORS to get the leaf shape, and of course, NEGATIVE PAINTING.


                                              This is a 7" x 12.5" image (unframed)
                                                                 This image is Sold.

                  Prints of this image can be purchased through Fine Art America:

Feeling a little mushroom-y today!

Coming down the mountain
Through the drizzle
To the scent of the first mushrooms.

Nothing better than after a rain,
which we've had a lot here this fall!

Lovely  morning at the Gardens
last week, right after a the rain
went through to wet everything.

I ended up shooting
a bit in the rain when it
came back around.
Umbrella in one hand
Camera in the other!

Almost missed him in
the mix of leaves and pine needles!

caught between water and stone

At the Edith L. Moore Nature Sanctuary
this morning to catch the warmth
and sunshine.
First time at the Sanctuary - quite a lovely
little spot off of the Beltway!

 Jumbles of brown leaves
Softening the forest floor;
A single green leaf

 A piece from my Zen Moments portfolio, In The Garden series.
The contrast between the bright green
leaves and the brown one underneath caught my eye.

We caught a break today with the weather,
finally seeing some sunshine.

I am hoping to get to the Gardens again
tomorrow morning to continue
on a photo project I am doing this year.
