The large old oak trees that line the creek are beginning to drop acorns on the ground below. It is a time  for the season's change and to remember the Indian people that would gather here to process the acorns using the creek waters. I feel the spirits of those that lived here long ago where I walk today. The painting above, "Tribal I" is the first of a small series of three works celebrating the coming fall season.

It has been, "A Painting Day".

Ties To the Land - Ruth Andre

The valley where I live was at one time filled with Gold Rush miners. There was little land for farming except for small pockets of flat areas. My horse's pasture was at one time an apple orchard and the homestead was just down the road. I love walking the land and feeling the ties from long ago. When the old oak acorns fall, I know at one time Native Americans were here gathering the acorns and then grinding them and finally washing their harvest in the creek.  The old oaks gave them food, fuel and shade. Having ties with the land has made for, "A Painting Day".
