A Painting Day - Pueblo - Ruth Andre


"Pueblo"

by Ruth Andre
$250.00

I am reading the book "Californios" by Louis L'Amour and the story takes place in the 1800's when Los Angeles was just a village. Malibu was a single ranch and Paradise Cove attracted shipping smugglers. There is much to be said about the old west and these stories have attracted the world to the Southwest to taste just a little of these wild and romantic stories. L'Amour's words let us  feel the the heat of the day and the welcome coolness when stepping into an old pueblo built of adobe clay. There is talk of spirits and the 'old people'. I love the history and the adventure of these stories. It has been,
"A Painting Day".

A Painting Day - Red Clouds - Ruth Andre

I have been reading a lot lately. There are so many good books and now with access to digital books it is so easy to read several different authors. Some of the authors are new and some I just had never gotten in touch with previously. Louis L'Amour and his book, "Lonesome Gods" captured my spirit. Mr L'Amour amazed me with the splendor of his words. I felt the landscape that surrounded the characters and saw the clouds passing by over the desert lands. Today's painting is a small tribute to the wilds of the desert that Mr. L'Amour created. It has been, "A Painting Day".
