Andrea Realpe Fine Art

Dear friends, Josh is a friend who was just diagnosed with Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma. It has spread throughout his body, and he recently had a large tumor removed from his spine. We are desperately trying to raise $25,000 asap (the minimum needed to begin any kind of treatment). He is an amazing friend and we are asking for your help to save his life.  I am selling this painting to help Josh. He has supported my art and has been there for me, since I have met him. I would like to pay him back by donating all of the proceeds to help him pay for his treatments. By purchasing this painting you will be helping a great person and you will receive an original painting. You can also help by donating.  Please use this fundraising link: https://apps.facebook.com/fundrazr/activity/7016cbd125df4ab180af8e48be611874?psid=57717da2c3d74817ac8635cc4178ee4f This painting is an ORIGINAL acrylic hand painted and signed (by me) on gallery stretched canvas.

A family friend was diagnosed with brain tumors. He applied for health insurance coverage and unfortunately he was denied. My family took action and organized a fundraiser on his behalf. I also took charge and created this beautiful painting for a lucky raffle winner for the fundraiser.The event was very successful and my art was acknowledged in front of my family.   And the painting goes to Stalin(my cousin)!!:O) Here is the painting for the fundraiser. I painted Free in a couple of hours the night before the fundraiser. The model for this painting is a photograph that I found on this site http://www.horse-wallpaper.com/preview.asp?id=122 I chose this picture because it reminds me of being free with not a care in the world and the horse shows its beauty and strength. My decision to paint a horse also came from knowing the admiration that my family and their friends have for horses.

This painting is very meaningful to me in many ways. Sometimes we forget about how beautiful nature is because of many distractions that we have in our lives today. I painted the tree and the nest with real wood. The young girls hair also has some wood pieces. The girl is rediscovering nature and she becomes one with nature. Her hair is becoming the mountains, grass, lavender, tree, the sky, and her hands are becoming the birds nest. She is sitting on the earth and melting into it. The bird is resting on her knee to show the trust that she has in the girl by allowing her to hold her nest. She has never felt so close to nature before. She is finally One With Nature.   Light Sketch:O) I started the painting from the top .   One With Nature (2011) (16 x 20 inches: Oil On Stretched Canvas) Purchase One With Nature CLICK HERE Watch the Video for this painting   The painting will be in an exhibit at Renditions in Tallahassee from July 1 until July 17.and will be ...

From the Heart (2011) (16 x 20 inches: Original was painted on the back of a stretched canvas)      I call this piece From the Heart , simply because every stroke came from my pounding racing heart. I know that this style of painting is not my usual one, but at the time I was not thinking of anyone or anything, except calming my heart down. My veins were full of adrenaline and I finally used that energy into something positive. I try not to paint anything when I am having a panic attack, but I am very pleased with myself that I finally let loose and went with the flow. While creating this piece all I could think about was my heart, so that is what I began painting. After that I added the lines and the triangles. I then realized it looked like an abstract figure and so I continued to add the arms.  I am holding my heart nurturing it back to normal rhythm while I am ready to start running from the terrifying fear of panic.  ...

Me, wondering where everyone is. On Saturday, February 13, I was invited to an event at Railroad Square Art Park by my friend Erin. The event was called ARTi*GRAS. It was an event that celebrated mardi gra. The event also benefited the Red Cross and sufferers from the massive earthquake in Haiti. The event was filled with food, musical performances, and a parade. The only thing that was missing was the guests. Erin and I rented a space to sell and promote our art. We baked cookies, brownies, cupcakes, and a big chocolate glazed cake for our guests. We also had a big jar that was labeled donations. The event lasted from 11AM until 10PM. But, we were only there from 9AM until 4PM. We thought that we would make back the money that we spent on renting the space and money spent for the baked goods. We ended up giving the goodies away to our friend Josh. We made $6 in total from the donations jar. We only made $3 each, and we were out there in the brrr cold all day. We were disappointe...
