War Bonnet - Nigadu - Ruth Andre


"War Bonnet - Nigadu"
24"x18"x2" oil & mixed media on panel
by Ruth Andre

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 Series - Tsoi - Ruth Andre


"War Bonnet  - Tsoi" 
12"x12"x.75", mixed media on panel
by Ruth Andre

Today I have taken the "War Bonnet" series a step farther. I wanted to use "War Bonnet" as the title and number each painting in the series. I have decided to follow my Cherokee kinship  and name each painting using Cherokee language numbers. Today's painting, Tsoi, is the third painting in the "War Bonnet" series. If you would like to read more about the Cherokee language Linda L. Kinyon has written a very informative article. HERE

"War Bonnet" continues to inspire making for, "A Painting Day".

Passing Clouds - Ruth Andre


Do you follow Interior Design Blogs? I follow a few and one of my favorites is the The Lettered Cottage. It is a fun blog and the couple, Kevin & Layla Palmer are full of ideas and inspiration. When I finished this small painting, "Passing Clouds" I thought that it would fit just right into a cottage interior. I get caught up with textures and seemingly old faded paint colors in these WISH home interiors. I also like to watch the clouds as they float by. The combination of paint and places has made for, "A Painting Day".
