Sand Creek - Ruth Andre


"Sand Creek"
8"x10" Oil on Stretched Canvas
by Ruth Andre
$375

Today's painting is one I did sometime ago but it remains one of my favorite paintings. It is oil on stretched canvas. The painting is all about the creek that flows through our small ranch and with the heat of summer the creek slows and is finally swallowed by the sun and sandy creek bed. Mossy leaves and grasses still line the dry creak. I have  had to be away from the studio due to hurting my back. I miss painting and am using my iPhone apps for some fun digital painting as I recuperate. I may show a few of the digital works in the next posts if I am not better soon.  Stay well and have many, "A Painting Day'.

This painting really captures the feeling of a dry creek bed. I love the greens and golds on the off-white. I hope your back feels better soon!!

Hi Theresa, I do thank-you for the lovely comment for the "Sand Creek" painting. I hope to be back to the studio in a week or two.

hmuxo, So good to read your comment on my new work. When in college my work was abstract and then I started painting in a totally different way. So I have come back to my beginnings with the abstract paintings. Take care, Ruth
