Water Crossing - Ruth Andre


"Water Crossing"
6"x6"x1.5" oil & mixed media on panel
by Ruth Andre

This is the second painting in the 'Cross' series. I hope to do 5 or 6 paintings for the series so it will be a small collection  of works.The painting today brings back memories from when I have traveled the desert during heavy rains. It is unsettling to see the channeled  red earth fill with water and see the rush of water flowing over the surface of the land. It is as if the sleeping land awakens to the flood of water and the land comes alive with startling movement. 
 It has been, "A Painting Day".

Flash Flood | Study - Ruth Andre


Traveling across the desert during a rainstorm made me realize how fast a gentle rain can become a flash flood. Water was washing over the land from flooded dry creeks making it a giant waterway. 
It was amazing and made me hold Mother Nature in reverence. 
Enjoying the colorful palette of the desert made for, 
"A Painting Day".
