Rim Light...Landscape..Pastels...Texas Artist...Rae Andrews

Call me a romantic, but don't you just love to watch the clouds form especially with an approaching storm?

Well I do.. :))

I had no reference with this one, I just 'felt' the clouds and the movement. 

Pastels are such a great medium to portray seascapes and skyscapes. One can 'sculpt' the shapes so seductively, it's as though the artist can become one with the image.

See I told you I was a romantic..

This image is 12.75" x 20" unframed and is for sale.

Coastal Edge...Acrylic Seascape...Texas Artist...Rae Andrews

I had a few smooth gesso boards in my studio and decided to test the waters (excuse my pun) with acrylics.

I have to say I don't love this surface, it's way too smooth for me, I prefer some tooth to the substrate. However a challenge is always good for us, is it not?

I am an intuitive artist and when I paint any kind of waterscape, I generally make the up image.

I sometimes have a photo to get me started, but they will never be the same as any reference. I feel so long as I capture the 'essence' of the photo I am fine.

I will often do some work prior to actually painting the subject, on my IPad with a stylus, and see what I can 'nut' out.. This is the result.. I hope you like it.

This image is an 8" x 8" acrylic on smooth gesso board

Convergence...Landscape...Acrylic...Texas Artist...Rae Andrews

Here is another SKY SCAPE done in acrylics on stretched canvas.

I am enjoying this genre.. It's fun to mold and sculpt the sky. When I get that in place, I add a very simple landscape area, in this case, a sand bank and mountain area.

This one is an 8" x 10" image.

$160 plus S/H

Painted Sky..Landscape...Acrylic...Texas Artist...Rae Andrews

I decided to get out my FULL BODIED Acrylics today and do some small landscapes. I have finished this one, so thought I would post it.

I am teaching an ACRYLICS ON CANVAS tomorrow for the Williamson Arts Guild in Georgetown, as well as a demonstration called THE LAYERED LANDSCAPE for their group. 

As I have not painted in the tubed acrylics in a while, I thought I better get up to snuff.
Hope you like this one..

 Image size is 8" x 10" (unframed)
$165 including S/H within the contiguous USA.
