I am very proud to announce my work is now being represented by The Art Spirit Gallery in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. I have followed The Art Spirit Gallery for a few years and have always enjoyed the represented artists and the gallery exhibitions. It is such a delight to see my work also being shown on the gallery walls. The gallery is currently celebrating with their 
20th Anniversary Exhibition. It is a big show and one that is a delight to see. 
Preview the show HERE.
The Art Spirit Gallery chose my triptych "Red" series for the exhibition.

New Logo - Ruth Andre





I have needed a new logo for some time and asked designer, Ian Kaiser, to work up a design for me. He sent several logo ideas and I think this one is my favorite. The type feels bold but minimal and the colors have their own power. Ian is also my son and a product designer. His business is, ChicWrap and on the ChicWrap site you will find the words, "Life Simplified by Design" for his many products. His goal is to make good designs for everyday products. Enjoy.

A Painting Day - Abandoned - Ruth Andre

12"x12" Hand Cut Mat
Challenge Painting Forty-Six

$125.00

Living in the foothills of Sutter Creek, California we are reminded daily that the area was once alive with Gold Rush minors and mining companies. The old rock buildings still stand. Some are preserved and in use today while other stand abandoned giving memories of another time. The old rock cabins are small and seemingly too small in height to accommodate anyone very tall. Even the most humble buildings are beautifully made as if a craftsman's hand set each stone in place. I love to see these old relics from the past. They remind me of the people and their spirited life that went on here years ago. It has been, "A Painting Day".

Bits of Gold - Ruth Andre


"Bits of Gold" 
6"x6" oil & mixed media on archival canvas panel
by Ruth Andre

I have been invited to show my work at the local Sutter Creek Art Council in June. The council wants to exhibit my animal portraits and landscapes. I need to get painting some new work and headed off to the studio with good intentions to start painting a sorrel colt. Then I got side tracked and painted another little abstract with bits of gold peaking through the layered paint. Sometimes it is difficult to get the mind in motion at the task at hand. The show will be fun and the first local show I have done. It will be good to meet up with good friends and meet new people in the community of Sutter Creek. I hope you enjoy this blog, "A Painting Day" as much as I enjoy sharing it with you.
