Flash Dance..Pastel..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

Believe it or not this one used to be irises. I just labored so long on trying to make them work that I decided to throw in the proverbial towel and start all over.

The surface is a Richeson sanded panel and they take a LOT of torture. LOL.

I held it under a garden hose , blasting most of the iris image away, then let the panel dry.

I used some of the ghost image underneath to allow the fish to evolve. It was tricky, but then I love to complicate things, ha!

I really like the design of this one, and I certainly prefer it to my iris attempt. I hope you like it.

A Peace Beyond..Pastel..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

I just finished this one, which I began yesterday afternoon. 

It is on a mystery paper I had in my file drawer so don't ask what it is..:(( 

It is was a cream sanded paper though however not one I was familiar with.

The size of this image is 19.5" x 25.5 " unframed.

My reference was a lily pond photo I took while in France last May. The fish I actually made up. The magically appeared so voila!

AS is my general practice I nudged color in Photoshop, although this image was pretty colorful to begin with I have to say.

Whirling Dervish.Semi-Abstract......Pastel..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

I began this with a pour of watercolor and acrylics on an Ampersand board.

At the time of the pour, I had no idea what I wanted to paint, so I decided to just play with the liquid media.

When it naturally dried, I began to wade through my photos, and decided to use KOI as my muse having watched and photographed tons of these fish on Maui on my last trip there.

I used my pastel pencil to draw the shapes into the painted areas, and then proceeded to overlay my pastels to retrieve the fish.

This is a large painting, 24" x 36" and is unframed. I hope you like it..

$500 Plus S/H ( contiguous USA. only).
