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

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



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.

If By Chance - Modern Art Abstract Acrylic Painting by Texas Contemporary Artist Filomena de Andrade Booth

If By Chance
36"x30"x1.5"
Acrylic on Canvas


Have I mentioned before that I like to use a lot of texture in my paintings?  Yes, I certainly do! 
"If By Chance" has an almost stucco-like feel and is accented with stenciling and "graffiti".  I applied several layers of glazes to build up the color but still allow the undertones to show through.

The Daydream - Original Abstract Painting by Texas Contemporary Artist Filomena Booth

The Daydream
40"x36"x1.5"
Acrylic on Canvas

This is my latest painting.  It is heavily textured with thick layers of color that were applied with a large palette knife.  The problem with working with acrylics on a large canvas is that the paint sets up pretty fast and makes blending nearly impossible.  As I applied the paint, mixed with a variety of mediums, I used my hands and fingers to blend the paint directly on the canvas.  Sometimes the best tools are right at "hand".

This painting will be available through ArtfulhomeContact me if you have any questions.

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.

Untold Story - Original Contemporary Abstract Paintings by Texas Artist Filomena de Andrade Booth

Untold Story
30"x30"x1.5"
Acrylic on Canvas
I decided to try something a little different for a change. After mixing my colors on my palette, I added heavy matte gel to give the paint more body and started to apply the impasto to the canvas with a palette knife. The thick paint didn't dry as fast and allowed me to do some mixing on the canvas...which was nice. Over all, I'm pretty pleased with this painting.
