"Oak On Quartz Mountain"
8"x6" oil on canvas panel
by Ruth Andre
$125.00
Today I decided to step out onto my front porch with my new Russian Easel and paint plein air. I will post a photo of the easel in the next post. I purchased the easel years ago and am just now getting it out to use. This is the first painting using the easel. This oak stands tall and marks our property corner to the southwest. It was nice to have a scene to paint right here at home. I plan to continue painting and circle the house and stay in the shade of the porches since it is still very hot here in the valley.

I like this so much, Ruth. What A great idea to paint in the shade of your house. Curious to see the Russian easel.
I love the texture you've incorporated into the "bones" of this piece. Your abstract sensibilities are informing your representational work so beautifully.
