Tidepool Interrupted..Pastel..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews



I love to watch water move, whether it's a waterfall,  a pond or pool with a slight rippling effect. It's all mesmerizing to me and very peaceful.

I tried to capture that feeling with this one. That action of looking down into a rock pool when a ripple breaks the surface with such wonderful patterns. 

I hope you like this one, it was a fun one to paint.

This image is a pastel (unframed ) on Sennelier sanded paper.

18" x 24" 
$500 plus S/H

Pink Glow..Watercolor..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews


 


                   This is another small watercolor I have been playing with of late.. 
                  It has been so long since I painted, I was getting very depressed..
                                  We artists need our studio time don't we?



Thanks for sticking with me during this past absence, I tentatively can say I am BACK now! Yay!


This image is an 8" x 8" unframed watercolor on Arches paper.

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


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.

This image is unframed.

Image size is 9' x 25'

$350 plus S/H

Soft Light on the Pedernales..Pastel..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews



This one is similar to the landscapes I have posted before. Had a great time doctoring colors in Photoshop. But.. now that program seems to have died on me!! Oh woe!


I desperately need my Photoshop.


Looks like I have to call my computer guru.. Grrr!😒😒


Anyway, this image is a pastel on a bright blue Colorfix paper.

It measures 15.5" x 18.5" unframed.

$300 plus S/H

Sea Cliff Haze...Pastel..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews





Having traveled along the Amalfi Coast and seeing the wonderful vista of cliffs and misty coastline, this image evolved from memory. I often draw on my imagination when painting, I find it quite meditative. Just to let myself go with the rhythm of the sea and allow the marks to 'flow' from your fingertips..

Soft background music is also a help with this particular way of painting.

I know a lot of my students go through some angst when they can't pluck an image out of their heads and I understand this. It's not for everyone..

Even if you use a photo to begin a painting, put it away after the first few basic design strokes, and let your memory work for you, it does work, and you will get more of a 'personal feeling' about your scene which is (for me) far more seductive for your viewer.

I was trained to visually see a scene and memorize it a lot, especially with seascapes. 

Also doing so many demos for various art groups, sometimes I have to use what's in my head to get a point across. 
So, I so hope you like this one.. Seascapes are magical to paint, especially with pastels.

I used Pastel Premier paper for this one, and this surface is becoming a favorite of mine I have to admit. There is not a great deal of texture to it as with Sennelier, so certain subjects might not work as well for me. However, seascapes are a perfect subject matter.

Image size is 12" x 16" unframed

Sunset Afterglow..Pastel..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews






SUNSET AFTERGOW is inspired by Maui and all the beach walks I did there at sunset. The soft and romantic colors are wonderful at this time of evening. How I miss that part of island life.


I always fine soft high key colors difficult to portray in my art, so this was a challenge.

                                  This image is unframed and measures 8" x 10".

                                                                $150 plus S/H

Freshly Plowed..Pastel..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews







I have done this scene before in acrylics on canvas. Who knows, I might do it again in oils.

A friend gave me this photo, thanks MJ..
I loved it! The colors, the panorama, the distance, it's a painting waiting to happen! I believe it's a scene near Blanco here in Texas.

Last Light Over the Hills Frayssinet, France..Pastel..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews


Another landscape of the area around Frayssinet in southwest France . This area is dotted with sheep farms, and wonderful pastures.

I just happened to be walking at twilight and saw this heavenly sky, just had to try and do it justice.

I also love this panoramic format, challenging but perfect for this genre.

The substrate is a sanded paper, not sure which one, but it's not Sennelier. Maybe Wallis?

Diving into my stock drawer is a bit of a lucky dip with selecting my papers for pastels. :))

                                              This image is 9" x 25"unframed.

                                                           $500 plus S/H

                      Prints of this image are also available though Fine Art America:

Shell Fantasy 2.. Abstract..Watercolor...Texas Artist...Rae Andrews




Although this image SOLD many years ago, it was always a favorite of mine. 

I did it when I lived on Maui, so the tropical influence was with me for certain.

It is a watercolor on a watercolor board.. and was done in the days I frequently used a lot of divisional backgrounds. 

Somehow this type of painting still holds up today. I still use this technique at times and still love doing it. It makes the artist really think.



                                                         This image is 22.5" x 16"
