A Painting Day - Far and Away - Ruth Andre

"Far and Away"

6"x12" Oil and Cold Wax on Paper

Paper 12"x16"

by Ruth Andre

~~$175~~ sold

Today I gave a talk and demonstrated the oil and cold wax process for the Sierra Wax Artists group at the downtown Sacramento University Art Store. There was a good group of artists wanting to know more about painting with Oil and Cold Wax medium. In a future post I will show a few photos and the painting I made today. Last week while getting things set up for my talk I decided to treat myself and took a few days away from the Challenge 100 paintings to paint the painting above, "Far and Away". The red splash of color is quite bold. A collector in Arizona saw the painting and decided to add it to her art collection. I truly loved painting this painting. It has been a busy few weeks and I will be happy to settle back into my regular daily schedule.

A Painting Day - Wings - Ruth Andre

"Wings"

4.5"x4.5" Oil and Cold Wax on Paper

12"x12" Hand Cut Mat

Challenge Painting Forty-Two

$125.00

Our small ranch in the valley is mostly flat with some sloping as the land falls to the creek then the land veers at a steep angle as it moves past the creek and up the mountainside. The ground squirrels find our little plot of land a great spot to hang out. They seem to have a good life until the shadow of a soaring hawk shows itself and then the squirrels run for shelter. The hawks glide over the land and perch in the tall trees always on watch. I do enjoy watching the hawks soar with their wings held wide in the sky.

This coming week may be a little crazy. I am preparing for my talk for the Sierra Wax Artists meeting at the University Art Store downtown Sacramento, California next Sunday, July 19th. It seems there is always more to do. I have worked on an outline but will also need to think about what to paint and what Oil and Cold Wax techniques to show. There is much to consider that may give inspiration for the artists that come to the meeting.

WAX ON - Sierra Wax Artists - Ruth Andre

"WAX ON" EXHIBIT

The photos above were taken at the WAX ON art reception at the TSAO Gallery in Davis, California. The show is sponsored by the Sierra Wax Artists. Three of my paintings were accepted for the show but for some reason I only have photos for two of the paintings at the show, "Lost In the Shadows" and "Laguna". Both paintings are 36"x36"x2" mixed media on cradled panel. My third entry is shown below. The show will run until September 5, 2014. TSAO Gallery 530 756-4100
