Seaside I and II by Texas Contemporary Abstract Artist Filomena de Andrade Booth

Seaside I and II

8"x10"x2"

Mixed media on cradled panels

$100.00 each

Please contact me for purchase information

I finally got around to playing with the cradled panels I bought a while back.  I love the hard surface and the boxy look of these panels.  Both are heavily textured, distressed and accented with gold leaf and other collage materials.  The panels are sealed with an acrylic gloss varnish and are ready to hang.  The sides are painted a matte black.

The Way of the Pilgrim - Abstract Painting by Texas Contemporary Artist Filomena de Andrade Booth

The Way of the Pilgrim

30"x24"x1.5"

Mixed media on canvas

Purchase Information

I guess, that like most artists, I've accumulated tons of materials that can be incorporated into a painting.  This morning I decided to go through my "stash" and add some of them to this new painting.  Gold leaf and printed rice paper stood out and seemed to be just perfect for this heavily textured canvas.  After making some marks on the canvas to establish the composition, I started to wash in some color.  As I worked, I collaged the gold leaf and the printed paper.  I also decided to add some crackle paste, something that's been sitting on my shelf, but rarely used.  I slowly built up the surface of the painting with layer upon layer of glazed color until I finally decided that the painting was finished.  I sealed the canvas with several coats of acrylic varnish to enhance and bring out all the details that are "hidden" in the many layers of paint.

Tuscany Wall Group Paintings by Texas Contemporary Abstract Artist Filomena de Andrade Booth

Tuscany wall grouping

Four 10"x10"x1.5 paintings

Acrylic mixed media on canvas

Purchase Information

Here is how all four of my mixed media Tuscany series would look in a grouping.  I had a little problem working with my new Photoshop Elements 10.  Quite a learning curve for me! They've added an awful lot of new options compared to my old Elements 2!  Wish I could have centered the pictures better...I'm sure there must be an easy way to do it, but you get the "picture"!

I worked on a brand new painting today and will blog about it tomorrow.  In the meantime, I need to come up with a good title for it.

Tuscany II Modern Abstract Painting by Texas Contemporary Artist Filomena Booth

Tuscany II

10"x10"x1.5"

Mixed media on canvas

Purchase Information

I've never been to Italy but a trip through the Tuscan countryside is certainly on my bucket list.  I'll be sure to take my old Jansen History of Art college textbook so that I don't miss a single Michelangelo or Da Vinci!

This painting is one of a series of four pieces that were inspired by the film "Under the Tuscan Sun".  Look carefully at the heavy impasto to see the little surprises that are imbedded in the paint.

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.

Tuscan Inspired Original Abstract Landscape Palette Knife Painting by Texas Contemporary Artist Filomena Booth

Tuscan Landscape grouping

I just completed a series of small heavily textured acrylic palette knife mixed media paintings on canvas.  Each painting measures 10"x10"x1.5".  The movie, Under the Tuscan Sun, was the inspiration for the series.  Although I've never traveled to Italy, I tried to capture the warmth of the sun and feeling of the countryside.  The paintings are accented with collaged elements...postage stamps, archetectural images and a variety of decorative papers.

To purchase one or all four, please contact me.

Promises Kept by Texas Contemporary Abstract Artist Filomena de Andrade Booth

Promises Kept

25"x25"x1.5"

Mixed-media on panel - framed

I'm so accustomed to working on canvas, that it was such fun to work on the rigid surface of a masonite panel for a change.  It allowed me to create plenty of raised textural elements, add collage, scraping, scrubbing and the whole gamut of techniques I like to include in my work without the worry of anything coming unglued.

I hope you will visit my website to see my entire portfolio of original abstract paintings.

Asian Memories - Abstract Collage by Texas Artist Filomena de Andrade Booth

Asian Memories

Collage

Sold

I was recently going through my files of art I have sold in recent years and came across this small collage I created in 2008. Although I normally paint on canvas, every once in a while I get an urge to dig through my collection of emphemera that I've amassed over the years. I love playing around with various shapes, textures and colors. This little piece was especially fun to create. Guess it's time to get to my drawer full of "junk" and see what I can find!

I Believe in the Message of a Dream

I Believe in the Message of Dreams

30"x30"x1"

Acrylic/Mixed-Media on Canvas

I know, you're thinking "Where in the world did she get that title?" Titles for my paintings very often come from whatever music I happen to be listening to at the time I'm about finished with a painting. Most of the time a lyric or word jumps out and seems appropriate. I can't remember the name of the song or who sang, but part of the lyrics are - " I believe in things unseen. I believe in the message of dreams". Let me know if you can come up with the name of that particular song.

Anyway, the title seems perfect for this painting. Bits of collage, textural elements and half seen stamped letters remind me vague memories of dreams.

I currently have this painting, and several others listed on Ebay. You can also see my entire portfolio on my website.

New Commission

Tribute II

Mixed-media on canvas

18"x18" each

I completed this painting today for a buyer who had purchased a painting from me recently. He decided to commission this pair based on a painting he saw on my website. It was a real treat to spend the entire day in the studio with few interruptions...finally.

I love to use scraps of rice paper, skeletanized leaves and other bits of materials I've collected over the years. Most artists are packrats. We hate to throw anything away that might be incorporated into a painting sometime in the future. As a result, we end up with massive amounts of material that most people would have discarded long ago. Searching through my storage boxes of these "treasures" brings back memories and inspires ideas for more new works.
