Keeping Watch - Original Abstract Painting by Texas Contemporary Artist Filomena de Andrade Booth

Keeping Watch

10"x10"x1.5"

Mixed media on canvas

Purchase Information

I love building up texture in my work.  In this particular piece, I "recycled" an old painting by adding collage and 3-dimensional plaster pieces that I cast with Hydrostone.  Once everything was securely glued in place with gel medium, I gessoed the entire canvas and started painting, stenciling, etc...anything to create an interesting surface.

Primavera Overture - Original Abstract Painting by Texas Artist Filomena de Andrade Booth

Primavera Overture

30"x30"x1.5"

Acrylic on Canvas

Purchase information

We've had an unusually warm winter this year here in Central Texas and spring feels like it's about to make its debut.  As I look out my studio window and see the grasses starting to come up, along with a lot of weeds, I can't help thinking that it's time to get the garden going again.  I just hope we don't have a repeat of the record breaking heat and drought of last summer.  Hopefully all the rain we've had this winter will bring a beautiful crop of Texas wildflowers.

A Bright New Day by Filomena de Andrade Booth Texas Contemporary Abstract Artist

A Bright New Day

40"x30"x1.5"

Acrylic on Canvas

$2500

This painting symbolizes a new start for me this year. 2011 has been a difficult year due to the illness and death of my beloved mom.  Even though I am already in my mid-60's, it is still difficult to accept the fact that someone who's been there always, is now gone.

I'm finally beginning to see the light at the end of the seemingly eternal tunnel of details that need to be wrapped up.  Personal items need to be sorted through, a home needs to be sold and so many countless decisions to be made.

But, it's a new year now and a new beginning is in sight.  

This vibrant, acrylic painting was an experiment with a different way to apply paint to canvas.  I started by squirting fluid acrylics directly to the canvas and then brushing to blend the colors.  While the paint was still liquid, I decided to do some monoprinting using a variety of materials to establish the composition. In the end, I was pretty pleased with the result.

Vortex - Textural Abstract Painting on Canvas by Filomena Booth - Texas Contemporary Abstract Artist

Vortex

40"x40"x1.5"

Acrylic on Canvas

"Vortex" is a heavily textural acrylic painting on canvas.  The painting continues around the sides of the 1.5" deep stretcher bars, is wired and ready to hang.  Framing is not needed.  Metallic gold gleams from the raised textural details, adding to the dramatic interest of this painting.  The colors are neutral with touches of turquoise, black, and rust.  The raised texture invites exploration with hands and eyes.

Rays of Light - in progress

I started this painting several days ago and, in between a series of interruptions, was able to finish it today.  The canvas was heavily textured with a variety of mediums as well as a failed painting that I gessoed over.  I always like to start with some sort of line work to help me establish the composition.  Whether I decide to stick to that, is anybody's guess.

                                                                                                                         

I continued to apply glazes of color to the canvas.  It's hard to see in these shots, but there are a lot of subtle variations in the color and depth of the tones.

                                                                                                                                 

I think it's finished.  Tomorrow I'll try to

take better pictures, if it's not so miserably

cold outside!

Light Elements

30"x24"x.75"

Acrylic on Canvas

I completed this painting this past weekend.  It is based on a design I did a while back that was intended to depict light shining through a stained glass window.  It also reminds me of light shining through tree branches.  I've done several of these and all have sold except for the two most recent paintings.

Interlude II - Original Abstract Textural Red Painting by Texas Daily Abstract Artist Filomena de Andrade Booth

Interlude II

36"x30"x1.5"

Acrylic on Canvas

I've been working on getting the red in this painting as close to the actual painting for the last couple of days and this is about as close as I can get.  The image is a bit more "orangy" than the cadmium red that is in the painting.  I adjusted the white balance, used a polarizing filter to cut glare, photographed indoors with lights, photographed out doors without, and so it went.  Reds are hard to to get right!!
