The fourteenth painting in the "War Bonnet" series has been a work in progress for a few days. The palette breaths what surrounds me with golden grasses and the deep summer green oaks. The valley is alive with color making for, "A Painting Day".
Note: I decided to bring "War Bonnet - Nigadu" in for the night.

War Bonnet - Talidu - Ruth Andre

"War Bonnet - Talidu"

Summer is working its way into the valley. The hillside grasses are almost white as they have been bleached by the sun. The weather is warm with cool breezes. I started this painting, number 12, of the "War Bonnet" series a few days ago and again it made its own path. My seed of an idea was vaulted away and the painting transformed making for, "A Painting Day".
