Stoney Point - Ruth Andre

"Stoney Point"

36x36x2 inches, mixed media on panel

by Ruth Andre

Today's painting depicts a feeling rather than an actual place. There are times when we need a quite place, one were we can just think and conger.  My days have been full as of late so maybe painting "Stoney Point" is a painted secret place? It has been, "A Painting Day".

Border Crossing - Ruth Andre

"Border Crossing"

36"x36"x2", oil on panel 

by Ruth Andre

There are natural boundaries such as water ways that criss cross our country. It is most interesting to travel by car across the United States and feel and see the diversity of each state. There is often a  natural water way or a mountain range that separates one state from another. The land was pioneered and surveyed using nature for its compass. Thinking of our great land has made for, "A Painting Day".

Laguna - Ruth Andre

"Laguna"

36"x36"x2" oil-wax on panel

by Ruth Andre

I have been painting the last few days on a larger work. Changing to a larger size panel is challenging, giving way to new thinking on how to apply the paint. I have had to mix larger amounts of paint using a bigger palette for mixing colors. My tools for applying the paint are larger as well.  Finding the voice of my vision while working out the mechanics of painting has made for, "A Painting Day".

A Painting Tip - Ruth Andre

  "VIDEO"

Today's post is a little different. My son was taking a tour of my studio and when he saw that I  use ChicWrap, his invention, to keep my paints fresh he had to make a short video with me using ChicWrap. Believe me I would rather be having, "A Painting Day".

River Walk - Ruth Andre

"River Walk"

12x8 inches, oil-wax on panel - diptych

by Ruth Andre

While my son and grandson were here visiting we drove a few miles south to the Mokelumne River for a picnic. The dark shadows from the pines were showering their reflection over the water. The sun shown down on the water and rocks making a brilliant display. The river was so beautiful and made for " A Painting Day".

Cresting Creek - Ruth Andre

"Cresting Creek"

16x16x1.5 inches, oil-wax on panel

by Ruth Andre

Spring is here bringing with it warmer temperatures and a blossoming landscape. There is a surge of energy flowing through the land as the trees start to leaf out and their buds open up. New grasses are finding their place and the creek has quieted. I want to wish everyone a wonderful Easter Holiday. It truly has been, "A Painting Day".

Grass Creek - Ruth Andre

"Grass Creek"

12x12 inches, oil-wax on panel

by Ruth Andre

My son is visiting and we walked to the creek and then beyond to see the green mountain pastures behind our property. It was midday and the sun was set straight overhead as we watched the creek water slowly move through the valley. It was lovely to walk and talk and enjoy the beauty of the valley. The day will be remembered and for me treasured. It was also, "A Painting Day".

Deer Crossing - Ruth Andre

"Deer Crossing"

12"x12"x3/4" Mixed Media on Panel

by Ruth Andre

In winter the deer make their home on higher ground but with the change of season the deer will start their trek to the valley in search of sweeter grasses and water. Our horse troughs are full of water and I have seen the deer poke their heads through the fence for a nice long drink. The deer crossing has made for, "A Painting Day".
