Rockslide - Ruth Andre


"Rockslide I & II"
18"x12"x2" Oil & Mixed Media on Panel
by Ruth Andre

"Rockslide I"


"Rockslide II"

It is Sunday afternoon and the sky is filling with rain clouds making the day seem sleepy. The painting, "Rockslide" gives the same feeling as the day I see outside my studio window. Everything is held in quiet just waiting for what is coming next. I do enjoy the palette in this painting. The colors resonate softness and strength making for, "A Painting Day".

Summer Breeze - Ruth Andre


"Summer Breeze"
7"x7" oil & mixed media on paper
by Ruth Andre

The mountain grasses that surround the valley have turned a lovely color of gold. The hills are quite a contrast to the dark green of the old oaks and make me happy just to take it all into view. These small works on paper are quite nice to paint. They set me in place before working on a larger painting. Watching grasses bending in the wind have made for, "A Painting Day".

Lost In Thought - Ruth Andre


"Lost In Thought"
7"x7" oil & mixed media on paper mat 11"x14"

I have been accused of being 'lost in thought' on many an occasions. I love those times when the ideas are flowing and I can just take notes as the images move through my mind. The painting today is another small work painted on paper and matted 11"x14".

Summer Cottage - Ruth Andre


"Summer Cottage"
7"x7" oil & mixed media on paper - mat 11"x14"
by Ruth Andre

Taking refuge from the sun under a slatted porch sounds just dreamy right now. I love those sleepy summer afternoons just letting the day sail by with a good book and a wee nap. This painting, "Summer Cottage" reminded me of one of those peaceful days. It has been a day in the studio and,

Lost In the Shadows - Ruth Andre


"Lost In the Shadows"
36"x36"x2" oil & mixed media on panel
by Ruth Andre

Last week I had time in the studio to work on some new paintings on paper and I also took on a larger panel and painted away. What fun it is to use my whole body to create a sweeping stroke with paint. There is a lot of stepping back to see what has been done and in my case that means stepping over my good dog-friend, Sadie. She likes hanging out in the studio with me and does not seem to mind my constant dance back and forth. She sleeps contently until she hears cleaning-up sounds and then she bounds for the door not wanting to be left behind. It was a great week and made for many, 
"A Painting Day".

Frozen In Time - Ruth Andre


"Frozen In Time"
7"x7" oil & mixed media on paper - mat 11"x14"
by Ruth Andre

This mixed media paintings is the beginning of a new collection on paper. I have wanted to paint on paper for some time and when I found an archival paper primed for oil paints,  I thought it would be a perfect surface. Each painting is matted with a cellophane sleeve that can easily be slipped into a standard size frame. Loving the textured paper edges has made for, "A Painting Day".
