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.

 Image size is 18" x 24" unframed

$700 Plus S/H

Commission

I was recently approached by a client regarding a functional art project.  Though I don't consider myself a decorative artist, I have had quite a bit of experience painting produce.  Above is the result--a 24-inch Lazy Susan.  I see more in my future....

This year it will be held at the Bennington Center for the Arts in Bennington, Vermont. On display during the months of June and July, it will be a great time to visit Vermont and enjoy what I know will be a beautiful exhibit to see!

Demonstration Ad Nauseum? by Pamela Blaies

Still Life Study in Light

12" x 9"

oil on linen

I promise this will be the final blog about my first venture into demonstrating in front of a live audience. Since my last two blog posts discussed the upcoming event, you might have guessed I was a little apprehensive about it. But once I started painting, the nervousness just melted away. I only had about an hour to work, but the Weatherford Art Association was a great crowd and it was fun discussing my process as the painting unfolded. Here is the painting from that night.

Warmth on a Cold Day by Pamela Blaies

Warm Glow

18" x 14"

oil on linen

Painting light and air around these objects gave this whole composition a warm glow. I had an intentional purpose in exaggerating the light and reflections around the orange. I wanted to make sure the edges of the metal pitcher right up against the dark of the background drew the eye into the focal point, but didn't steal the focus. I love the drama it created of intense light. After I finished up the painting, I had to get out to run some errands and it was cold! Below freezing. I wanted to be back in my cozy studio in front of the "warm glow."  Hope you are all keeping warm!

Painting Glass by Pamela Blaies

Apples and a Green Glass Bottle

14" x 11"

oil on linen

Surrounded by a sea of cool colors, the one Red Delicious apple in front tries to steal the show. But I think the star is the green glass bottle. Painting glass with all of the dimension, subtle color and reflections is challenging and fun!

Process in Reverse by Pamela Blaies

In Season

12" x 16"

oil on linen

Click any photo for purchase information.

I usually do small studies before painting a larger piece, but this time my process got all turned around. As I set out my composition, intending to focus only on a couple of pieces of fruit, the still life just seemed to put itself together inviting me to create the larger painting, In Season. I liked the colors and light so much, I left the composition right were it was overnight and painted two Petites (6" x 6") the next day. Fun!

Back to School Bliss by Pamela Blaies

I'm a little behind on posting my new artwork. With the "back to school" chaos going on, I have been creating, but there does not seem to be much time left over for photographing, displaying and blogging. Now that the first day of school has come and gone, I'm ready to get back to my daily routine. Here is a piece that I did a few weeks ago while on vacation in San Antonio. It has a loose, abstract-ish feel that I adore! I want to see more of this in all of my paintings.

How Bout Them Apples? by Pamela Blaies

Granny Smiths and a Copper Pitcher

7" x 5"

oil on linen panel

I've been intrigued lately with these little Granny Smith apples I found at the market. I love their color and that they are so shiny and polished that they catch the light fabulously. Here I paired them with a copper pitcher. Check out my dailypaintworks site to see more of these delightful green apples.

Life's a Bowl of Cherries by Pamela Blaies

Bowl of Cherries

5" x 7"

oil on linen

SOLD

I love to paint cherries, but had a hard time getting my hands on any to paint over the winter and spring. The other day I was so excited when I found them at the market. I promptly bought 2 bags - one to eat and one to paint. Then I went on a little cherry painting binge. "Bowl of Cherries" just sold, but check my daily paintworks gallery to see more cherry paintings!
