Ruth Andre - "The Protectors" 

Have you ever been truly challenged? I decided to take on painting a large landscape painting. The canvas is quite large, 6 feet high and 4 feet wide and it seemed to grow as I painted it. My palette knife was a huge cement trowel. Mixing paint was also a challenge since I needed a large area for the big piles of paint and then a much larger area to mix the paint and have different mixes ready to go to gain the spontaneity needed for the work. It has truly been, "A Painting Day"
