25.01.2022 17 weeks to go until I finish my Diploma in Graphic Design. I have been studying it part time, so this is my second and final year. I thought I would share with you a magazine cover I designed for one of my assessment pieces last trimester. We had to name the magazine and design the front cover including the image. I named my design magazine ‘Pastiche’. I also created the hand drawn text for the title. I created the image from a hand drawn sketch, then developed it further w...ith a charcoal brush in Procreate. What do you think? Would you buy this magazine judged by its cover? I always judge a book by its cover. Please feel free to share. Keep warm. #digitalart #graphicdesign #rachelfrostartist

23.01.2022 Further progress shots of my latest commission. I used a bright pink base colour for the background colour. Layers of colours are added to create the desired colours and effects.

22.01.2022 So love this saying! This is me, I love colour!!! This is why I love pastels so much. Pastels are so vibrant. . . My favourite colour is red, but I like all colours. .... . . Do you love colour? What colours make you happy? See more

21.01.2022 MEMORIES . . Songs are so amazing at allowing the mind to wonder back to a special time or place. .... . A fragrance can do the same. For me the scent of a horse is special. When I walk into a room a certain aroma will remind me of my dad. . . My aim as an artist is to capture that emotion that allows your mind to wonder aimlessly back to a beautiful memory. . . What brings back memories for you? . . #carandache #fisher400 #pastelpainting #realisticart #stockhorses #horselovers #outback #commissionwork #pastelfineartist #rachelfrostartist



21.01.2022 Commissioned Pastel Painting, 43 cm x 59cm, Fisher 400 paper. ‘Five More Minutes’ I thought would be a great title for this painting, as we all wish we had a few more drops of the good stuff and the good times. Donald gifted this to his dad for his birthday. Donald said he doesn’t have many great photos of his Dad and him together. . . The mare that Mr Allpass is riding is one Kerry ( my husband) broke in, in about 2005 or 2006. This piece was beautifully framed by Pictures...que Framing, Nobby. Thank you Donald for trusting me with this special piece. A huge thank you to Liz Wehl for transporting it for me from Toowoomba to Barcaldine. . . There are so many people that make my art business possible and I am grateful. Have a great weekend . Please feel free to share. #longreach #horseriding #stockhorses #carandache #fisher400 #pastelpainting #realisticart #horselovers # outback #commisionwork #pastelfineartist

20.01.2022 ‘Ashley and Paddy’, 30cm x 30cm, charcoal sketch on Pastelmat, commissioned piece. . . Marie commissioned two pieces, this piece of her daughter, Ashley and first grandchild Paddy. The second piece is of her other two children Kirsty and Tom, which I will share soon. .... . Marie commissioned me last year and I finally got to meet Marie on Wednesday to give her, her two pieces which were beautifully framed by Tim and Denise Lawrence of Picturesque Framing Nobby. Thank you Marie for your patience and entrusting me with these special pieces. I hope the wait was worth it. . . #charcoalsketch #realisticart #commissionwork #horselovers #doglovers #catlovers #cattlelovers #outback #fineartist See more

19.01.2022 What trees bring up special memories for you? . . Growing up on a dairy farm meant that there was plenty of space to roam and jobs to do. We had one huge Jacaranda tree out the front of our house that my brothers and I would love to play in. My daughter, Bonnie is much the same. If I can't find Bonnie, I go to her various favourite trees, where her dog, Rosie will be sitting under the tree and Bon will be in that tree reading. .... . Around about the time I was in grade 8, I was bringing a cow and calf down from the hills to put the cow in with the milking herd. Once I had finished that job, I noticed that there was a man that had pulled up on the side of the road under one of our plain trees. I went over to say hi and to see what he was doing. He had been painting scenes from around our farm and he explained that he was using pastels as his medium. He then showed me the painting he had created of me bringing the cow and calf down the hill. The painting included our favourite jacaranda tree. He had captured the moment in time perfectly. It was then that I knew I wanted to create art that captures special moments in time. . . This painting "Walli View", for me reminds me of my childhood. I am so happy and grateful to have the loving and supportive family that I do and to have had such a wonderful upbringing. My mission as an artist is for my original paintings and limited edition prints to remind people of what is truly important in life by connecting with animals and nature. . . "Walli View" is one of the prints that I have available in my November Limited Edition Print Sale, $15 off all prints, postage included in price, follow the link if you would like to place an order. https://www.rachelfrostartist.com/collections/99855 . .

19.01.2022 I am celebrating a dear friend, an amazingly talented artist and a true inspiration to all that cross her path, Dawn Rose. http://dawnheadroseart.com . .... I became friends with Dawn when my family and I lived in the Barcaldine district. I have always drawn since I can remember but it was Dawn that gave me the inspiration and encouragement to take my art to a new level. . . Visits to Dawn’s house would always include checking out her new works in her art studio. It was here that I knew that I wanted to do more with my art. . . A huge thank you, Dawn. I would not be where I am now if our paths did not cross. THANK YOU! . . Who has inspired you in a way that changed your life? . . #carandache #fisher400 #pastelpainting #realisticart #stockhorses #horselovers #doglovers #catlovers #cattlelovers #outback #commissionwork #pastelfineartist

17.01.2022 My latest commissioned piece, ‘Kylie and Binnia Mystery’, pastel painting, 20cm x 25cm on Fisher 400 paper. This piece has made its way to Mullewa , Western Australia. . . Kylie is drafting Binnia Mystery who is by Binnia Impressive Destiny out of Binnia Ruby. Kylie has so much love and adores this little pocket rocket mare. .... . One of the things I love with my business is the people I get to work with. It is such a pleasure to work with so many wonderful, appreciative people and Kylie is no exception. Most of the time I don’t even get to meet my clients in person, which is a shame. . . Thank you Kylie for entrusting me with this special piece. May it bring you joy for many, many years to come.

15.01.2022 ‘Grandma’s Ponies’, 66cm x 33cm, on Fisher 400 paper, commissioned piece. . . I have named this piece purely for this post. I was approached by one of my daughter’s friends, to see if I would do a piece for her Grandma’s birthday. She wanted a painting that would include all of the horses that her grandma had owned. I was like, sure, that will be no worries, not quite knowing just how many all of Grandma’s horses there were. Not saying I wouldn’t have done it if I knew. So ...Heidi started to send me photo references; some photos were the old black and white ones. 18 horses later, I needed to nut out how I was going to put them all together into one piece. My graphic design course experience came into play where I could put the photos together into the Indesign program. Heidi was able to tell me the colours of the horses that were taken in the black and white photos to come up with the final result. . . A Thank you goes out to Heidi and her family for entrusting me with this special gift. I would like to think my commissions capture precious moments in time, that bring love and joy to people’s hearts for a lifetime. Maybe even generations to come. Let me know what you think. . . #carandache #fisher400 #pastelpainting #realisticart #stockhorses #horselovers #doglovers #catlovers #cattlelovers #outback #commissionwork #pastelfineartist

15.01.2022 ‘Pure Love’, is one of the prints that I have for sale with my November Limited Edition Prints Sale. These make for great Christmas gifts. To purchase click on the link, https://www.rachelfrostartist.com/collections/99855 . . When we were living at Barcaldine, we lived on one of the Walkers beautiful properties, ‘Garches’. We had 5 mares with foals. It was quite dry at the time, I would feed the mares each afternoon. On a Sunday afternoon the whole family would go and feed th...em. We would just sit on the back of the ute and just watch them eat and of course the kids would get a pat with the foals. . . This is my mare Wil Robin, her foal Summer Breeze and my gorgeous boy, Lane. . . I painted this painting years after taking the photo and once again it was dry hence the inspiration to paint green grass. I love that special connection between man and animals. . . What are some special family times for you? . . #carandache #fisher400 #pastelpainting #realisticart #stockhorses #horselovers #doglovers #catlovers #cattlelovers #outback #commissionwork #pastelfineartist See more

11.01.2022 ‘Inquisitive Rose’ is one of the first pastel paintings that I did, back in 2011. I have learnt so much since then and continue to. Rose was my first filly foal out of my camp mare Wil Robin. . . . More commissions to share coming soon. Have a fantastic weekend. ... . . . #carandache #fisher400 #pastelpainting #realisticart #stockhorses #horselovers #outback #commissionwork #pastelfineartist

11.01.2022 Working on my latest commission, loads of detail. Sometimes I need a break. I like to get out in the sun and go visit our ponies. . . Commissions are full for 2020. Happy to take bookings for 2021.

10.01.2022 CUTE PUPPY ALERT!! . . Meet Buster and Biddy (as in Iddy Biddy). Our two cattle cross pups. Don’t let their cuteness fool you, as those little teeth are quite savage. .... . With my art, I love attention to detail. So I am always studying the detail of how the hair lays on an animal or which way it sits. The different colours in the coat. Or I study their eyes. These little guys help in that department. . . Even people, ! So please don’t think I am weird. I like to see how the shadows and tones are on people’s faces. And of course their eyes, as they are the essence of our soul. . . Puppies make me happy, you just want to give them a big squeeze. Leave an emojiin the comments of how puppies make you feel. . . #carandache #fisher400 #pastelpainting #realisticart #stockhorses #horselovers #doglovers #catlovers #outback #commissionwork #pastelfineartist #rachelfrostartist See more

08.01.2022 FRAMING . . Framing of art can enhance an art piece or it can just be in a frame. I am very lucky to have Tim and Denise Lawrence at Picturesque Framing, Nobby to do my framing for me. .... . When it comes to framing my pastel work it is a little more tricky than a painting. My pastel work is not sprayed with a fixative. Fixative sprays can dull the colours. . . Pastel works need to be double matted. I always frame my works with a high quality glass, like Tru Vue UltraVue. The glass is crystal clear, anti-reflective which allows for amazing clarity. . . I offer my clients the option for me to organise the framing for them. I am always more than happy to do this. . . For this piece of Ben and Reliable, Jaye wanted some of Reliable’s tail hair included with the framing and his dates. It was so special to have all of this put together to honour a horse like Reliable. . . Do you like this added touch to the framing? Have a fantastic weekend. . #carandache #fisher400 #pastelpainting #realisticart #stockhorses #horselovers #outback #commissionwork #pastelfineartist #truvueglass See more

06.01.2022 Often I am asked where do you do your artwork? I have a little room in our house that is just perfect for my art room. I am very grateful for this space, however this is my dream studio. I have had this wide span shed photo on one of my art business books for about 4 years now. . . I believe dreams come true! What do you think of my ideal studio? ... #rachelfrostartist #realisticart #dreamscometrue #widespansheds

05.01.2022 More progress work- commissioned pastel. Look at these two cheeky calves pushing through for a look. I love cattle; their wet noses and glistening eyes. So much character. I love painting them too! A lot of blues and purples get used in a black coated animal. Which is your favourite calf so far?

02.01.2022 GRAPHIC DESIGN WORK . . For one of my units I studied Finished Art. We had to design a label for Kombucha. What do you think? .... . We had to design it to a print ready standard. Which means including the dye cut and any embellishments that we wanted to include. . . The first label was part of the first assessment and the second label is refined work after feedback from our lecturer. . . Feedback suggested I give the label more of an abstract look than a realistic look. Using procreate, I digitally painted the images for both labels. . . Very grateful for the lecturers that I have had during this course. They have all been so encouraging with positive feedback and push you to try different things. . . Which label do you like best, the first one or the second? . . #digitalart #procreate #illustrationartists #realisticartwork #commissionwork #pastelfineartist #rachelfrostartist See more
