Nest - Five and Six - Ruth Andre

"Nest- Five and Six"

Acrylic on 9"x12"Paper

Each painting can be matted and framed together or separately

The "Nest" paintings are growing in numbers and each one has its own story. You will see in these two painting the Blue lines traveling through the paintings. The found nest had blue baling twine woven in and around the oak branches. I could not resist adding the vibrant blue color in these two nest paintings. It has been, "A Painting Day".

Nest-Four - Ruth Andre

"Nest-Four"

Acrylic on 9"x12" Paper

by Ruth Andre

The nest was found in the creek with water washing over its sides. The small nest branches and the found twining  were dark and soaked through. The creek is a never ending source of inspiration one just needs to stop and look. It has been, "A Painting Day".

The Country House - Ruth Andre

"The Country House"

4.5"x8.25 Acrylic on Paper

by Ruth Andre

I enjoy following architectural websites showing beautiful contemporary homes with many being in the forest wilds or on top of a mountains. It makes me wonder how remote these homes must be and what the roads are like to track them down. Living in a remote area myself people often ask how my husband and I found our property thinking we live pretty close to being off-grid. We are just over an hour away from a major airport but when you are here in the valley the area does seem far from civilization.

Plate Series - Blue Plate Special - Ruth Andre

"Plate Series - Blue Plate Special"

11"x11" Acrylic on Torn Paper

Painting Matted and Framed 18"x18"

by Ruth Andre

$450

I  have had a couple of inquiries about yesterday's posted plate painting. The Plate Series of paintings were painted on heavy watercolor paper that was sealed with gesso before adding the acrylic paint. The backing is not a paper plate. I appreciate the inquires. The holiday activities are often centered around food and beautiful place settings. The Plate Series reminds me of fun and happy times with family and friends.

Creek At Night - Ruth Andre

"Creek At Night"

3.5"x4" Acrylic on Paper

Matted and Framed 11"x11"

by Ruth Andre

The temperatures have been high and with the creek still running it brings  the thirsty wildlife down from the mountains for a drink. At dusk a few days ago my dog, Sadie, and I walked to the creek to enjoy the running water and the shade from the old oaks. When I got home a neighbor called to say she saw me at the creek and when I left a mountain lion also climbed up from the creek to cross our property. I must admit I felt a chill and wondered if the mountain lion was watching Sadie and me from one of the old oak tree branches. This occurrence also made me wonder what goes on at the creek at night when all is quiet and cool. It has been, "A Painting Day".

12"x12" Acrylic on Paper

This painting is soothing to the eye and reminds me of late afternoon clouds that flood the valley sky. The pink clouds signal the day's end with dusk to follow. It is a beautiful and fleeting time to enjoy the quiet of the valley. It has been, "A Painting Day".
