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.

A Wandering..Watercolor..Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

I just finished this one. It's of the river area near my home. I have done several plein air paintings of it.

This one however, I painted in the studio today, from my photograph.

 Green on green is beautiful in nature, but in a painting, it tends to be a bit much of the same thing for me. 

 I usually play with complimentary colors, such as the orange/red family and even some blue/mauve colors as small accents amongst the green.

I hope you like this one. For me, it was very meditative to paint.

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

Earth Patterns 2...Watercolor and Liquid Acrylics..Texas Artist ...Rae Andrews

        This image is another small abstract done in LIQUID ACRYLICS  and WATERCOLOR.

I hope you are enjoying these excursions from my regular posts, I am having a great deal of fun with them.

Color and design are my pet passions as many of you already know. 

I seem to bounce from more realistic imagery to the abstractions. Right now I am in the latter mode.

This one began much the same way as the previous post. No notion of where I was going with it, just allowing myself the creativity of the layering process.

I decided to go with a more 'EARTHY' image, kind of rocky, kind of not.. this time.

This one is 6" x 10" unframed.

'Field of Dreams' Small Contemporary Landscape Painting on Canvas 6 x 6 inch by Melody Cleary, Oregon Artist

Field of Dreams © Melody Cleary

6 x 6 x 7/8 inch, sides painted soft black.  $80 + shipping.

This small landscape painting packs a punch of color on a small format.  I actually scraped

soft pastels into the canvas on top of some acrylic, then tried to seal it with varnish, which blended the dry pigment a bit.  I went back with acrylic to solidify the design.  Very Wolf Kahn - like, I must say.  Didn't plan it that way, but somehow, we are influenced by art we so admire.

Go to my contact page on my website to inquire.
