12"x12" Mat Included
Challenge Painting

$125.00

The cold front has arrived and it was just 18-degrees here this morning. I know that is not cold for a lot of you out there but I was raised in southern California and anything below 30-degrees is still cold to me. The down jacket and padded cover pants are now ready for wear.
My paintings, "Snow Days I and II" are my interruption of the valley covered in morning frost. Winter is here.  I hope your Thanksgiving Day was a special time filled with good friends and good food.

Now that the season has changed there is frost on the pasture grasses each morning. The horses have a thin white coat on their backs as well. It has been, "A Painting Day".

Almost Home - Ruth Andre


Winter is here and I am finding the season coming to me with what I paint. Memories of cold winters and how inviting it is to be home. The morning temperatures here in the valley are in the low 20's making my trip to the barn a real adventure. The horses are waiting by the gate ready for breakfast. The land is white with frost and the water buckets have a layer of ice to be broken. Heading back to the house to enjoy my morning tea is pure luxury. Thinking about winter has made for, "A Painting Day".
