Back Forty




When I was a girl I used to love following my dad around on our small ranch.  As he was heading out the kitchen door he would say, "If anyone needs me I will be in the back 40", meaning the back 40 acres.  He was out of pocket and not to be seen until he headed back in at the end of the day.
 Thinking of my dad made for, 
"A Painting Day".

"Back Forty" 6x8 inches, oil on canvas by Ruth Andre

I love this painting, Ruth! The mint green glows near the horizon line! And I love the value contrast between trees and earth, with those warm earth colors in foreground!
