The Mokelumne River is not far from our ranch. There are road exits to the river along the Old 49 Highway. My recent visit was spent watching over two wild preteens with a picnic in hand. The path was rather steep but both Taylor and Devon moved quickly and were at the water's edge in just minutes. I was not sure how deep or how strong the current would be but they edged into the water and  spent the next hours enjoying the cool water on a very hot summer day. It was a fun day. I enjoyed taking in the beautiful colors of the river's shallow waters.

Crossing Ties - Ruth Andre

"Crossing Ties"

6"x6"x1.5" oil & mixed media on panel

by Ruth Andre

The "Cross" painting series has been interesting. I have had time to explore within a theme. The painting, "Cross Ties" celebrates the many relationships we forge in our life. I may have one more 'Cross" painting and then it is back to work. I have been accepted into the "River Reflections" exhibit celebrating the Mokelumne River. I will be heading out to paint the river and the surrounding landscape. The exhibit will travel with 3 opening receptions. I need to get my paintings completed and ready for presentation. Updates will follow as I make my way to the water's edge with easel in hand. It has been,
"A Painting Day".

River Walk - Ruth Andre

"River Walk"

12x8 inches, oil-wax on panel - diptych

by Ruth Andre

While my son and grandson were here visiting we drove a few miles south to the Mokelumne River for a picnic. The dark shadows from the pines were showering their reflection over the water. The sun shown down on the water and rocks making a brilliant display. The river was so beautiful and made for " A Painting Day".

Forest Canopy - Ruth Andre

Today was a plein air painting day with friends, Julie Trail, Bruce Hancock and Howard Rees. We were at the Mokelumne River just 30 minutes from home. The river was gorgeous but I concentrated on the forest canopy and the beautiful greens and blues reflecting from the river's edge. We all had a lot of fun enjoying the rushing river, visiting and painting. It was, "A Painting Day".
