Jump into the Blue

I am scared? I can’t do it? Fear can be crippling. I have a fear of intermediate heights. I can jump out of a plane but not off a diving board. But in life we all need to take risks. I am learning to not be held back by fear. This painting captures the feeling of anticipation, the nerves, the excitement. That release when you jump. The moment of falling. As a woman, mother, daughter, sister and wife, I want to inspire my daughters jump into the blue. It takes 3 seconds to be brave and jump. This original painting by Rachel Rae is painted in acrylic with a protective varnish on a deep stretched canvas and is ready to hang.

Rachel Rae has been creative throughout her life, but whilst living in Spain in an apartment overlooking the ocean she was inspired to dedicate her time to focus on her painting art practice. Being an avid traveller and walker, Rachel Rae witnesses many life moments which is the inspiration for her artwork, painting personal records of flora, fauna, people and landscapes.

Rachel Rae paints in acrylics, quickly highlighting the movement of the landscape in a stationary painting, fascinated by the movement of nature contrasting with the static man-made objects and how humans, animals and nature co-exist. However by spending the time to paint the smaller details and minutiae, it allows time for reflection during the process. Capturing personal records of the flora, fauna, people and landscapes in life’s moments creates a memory and connection to past and present experiences.

Rachel Rae creates personal paintings of past and present experiences creating memory and connection to the vibrant colour and uniqueness of the world around us.
