We had a terrific storm move through the valley. Thunder could be herd rumbling in the distance. The thundering sounds continued for hours becoming louder as the storm approached. The overcast sky and brisk winds encouraged the feeling of an adventure. My studio is small with a metal roof and I savored the eclectic weather day. Today's painting, "Distant Thunder" is the first of a few storm paintings that will be posted in the next coming days.

A Painting Day - Shelter From the Storm - Ruth Andre



"Shelter From the Storm"

Today I painted but I also took shelter from the raging storm just outside my door bringing much needed rain to the valley. Being tucked away under a luscious  cozy throw with a good book in hand I felt right with the world. I thought about the life changing storms in my life. How sadness for one thing or another has made me seek shelter giving way to solitude with my thoughts. Seeking shelter is what gives me the strength to move forward as the storm retreats in my own mind. It has been, "A Painting Day".

Fire Storm - Ruth Andre


There is something about red that fills you up and breaths life into the air. Red has always been a favorite color. I started liking red as a child and the love affair never ended. It is intense and it is fiery. My father loved wearing red. He would always ask if I liked his green jacket or shirt and of course they were red. Being intense and fiery runs in the family and I have been accused lately of being my father's daughter. I take these words to be a compliment. It has been, "A Painting Day".
