Cave Dwelling - Ruth Andre


"Cave Dwelling"
6x6 inches, oil-wax on canvas
by Ruth Andre

Today's painting is a study for a larger painting. I doubt the larger work will look anything like this one but I wanted to feel my way around depicting a cliff dwelling wall in the abstract form. There was no templet to follow, just memories of the southwestern cliffs and the dwellings seemingly cut into the mountain side. Do you hear the beat of the drums as I study for, "A Painting Day".
