Autumn Light - Ruth Andre

I have wanted to start a new series and call it "Twelve - Twelve by Twelve". The painting today kicks off the new series with thoughts of autumn's colors flowing onto the canvas. Working on "Twelve" made for, "A Painting Day".

Ice Storm - Ruth Andre

I remember the first ice storm we had on the farm in Missouri. I was in awe with the beauty of the ice covered trees and horrified at the bent tree branches, heavy with ice. What to do? I learned you just had to let nature takes it course and hope for the best. We had many ice storms to follow and each winter there was a skating rink of slip and slide on the ground as I tried to walk from the house to the barn. These memories have made for, "A Painting Day".

Aspen Holiday - Ruth Andre

As I set in my office looking out on the horses and the tree line following the creek I can see two deer moving quickly to the horse corral and scooting in with my oldest mare, Mystery. The deer seem to be accepted by the horses. None of them seem to care that two wild deer are sharing their dinner. I am sure the deer were watching my every move and were just waiting for me to leave the corral and walk to the house. It makes me wonder what else is just out of sight, hidden by the canopy of wild blackberries and old oaks. The painting today is a small forest of Aspen trees and they remind me of where I would like to visit sometime soon. Thinking of an Aspen Holiday has made for, "A Painting Day".
