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).

Emergence...Watercolor and Liquid Acrylics..Abstract.. Texas Artist..Rae Andrews

EMERGENCE began as my previous posts,with a throw in of a variety of LIQUID ACRYLICS  and linear marks.

The idea of the DOLPHIN came as a last thought when I was almost finished.

I really just played with shapes and anchored the painting first, whether it is turned to a vertical or a horizontal format I felt it worked. The design was very LYRICAL with lots of movement and fun.

As there was a kind of dolphin shape emerging, I went with it. The head and a little of the tail was all I needed.
