Artwork Description

From the Artist: When I retired from teaching, I had a lot of time on my hands, so I started looking for something to do. I began in community theater with the Clocktower Players in Irvington and did some improv. While working in Camp Mohawk as a woodshop specialist, I started drawing with a bandsaw and with a woodburning kit. I started whittling and decorating walking sticks. I felt I should take up art. I took a drawing class at the Bronx UFT office, where they offered classes for retired school personnel. I followed that up with a workshop on acrylics.When the severity of the Covid 19 became apparent, going indoors became dangerous, but we had the outdoors. Fortunately in Westchester, there are many beautiful places to walk safely. When I see something that appeals to me, I take photos. Sometimes I paint them.

Andrew Ravick: Capturing Tranquility Through Acrylic Landscapes

Andrew Ravick’s artistic journey began unexpectedly after a fulfilling career as an educator, transforming into a passionate pursuit of visual expression. Born in Ardsley, New York, in 1945, Ravick discovered painting as a creative outlet following his retirement from teaching and found inspiration within the collaborative spirit of community theater.

Early Influences: Ravick’s formative years were marked by exposure to diverse artistic styles, fostering an appreciation for both realism and impressionistic techniques.
Community Theater Roots: His involvement in theatrical productions instilled a keen eye for composition and storytelling—skills that would later translate seamlessly into his paintings.
The Emergence of Acrylic Landscapes: Ravick’s artistic focus solidified around acrylic painting, particularly landscapes imbued with serene beauty.

His signature piece, ‘Ardsley Sunset,’ exemplifies this stylistic preference. Executed on canvas with meticulous attention to detail and color harmony, the artwork captures a breathtaking vista of Ardsley at dusk—a scene rendered in vibrant hues that convey both warmth and tranquility.

Technique: Ravick employs layering techniques within acrylics, allowing for nuanced gradations of light and shadow.
