"Thunder Mountain"
8x8", oil on canvas by Ruth Andre
Friday morning I met my painting friend, Bruce Hancock, in Amador City and we drove up Highway- 88 to meet a few painting friends to paint in the Sierras. We met at Silver Lake just about an hour away. My first impression of the area was filled with being overwhelmed with the beauty of the area. The grandeur of the mountains and of course the lake itself was so beautiful and full of color. We all found a shady spot and went to work painting in our different locations. The mountain range that surrounds the lake was just so amazing. As I painted the mountain the light changed and I realized I could stay in the same spot all day and create many paintings all very different than the next. Photos below of the painters.

Nice painting Ruth, love the colors in the lake.
Hi Ruth...
I had the pleasure of seeing this painting in person and I commented then, but I'll do so again. I just love the wonderful muted grays you consistently manage to produce. In this painting, they show up so well in the beautifully rendered distant mountain. Great work as usual!
