A Painting Day - Ms Piggy - Ruth Andre


"Ms. Piggy"
6"x6" Oil on Canvas Panel
by Ruth Andre
SOLD

This little pig has brought a lot of joy to the studio these past few days. She is a requested commission from a painting I did years ago. My style has changed and the brushwork is a bit wilder but the little face shines through. It has been, "A Painting Day".

A Painting Day - Where's Momma


"Where's Momma"
4"x4"x.75 Oil on Cradled Panel
by Ruth Andre
$95.00

Merry Christmas - Happy Holidays! 
I want to wish you
all the best 
for the holidays and a New Year filled with great joy. 
I have enjoyed posting here on ,"A Painting Day" writing about what 
goes on here in the valley as I post my paintings. Right now we have 
a great deal of cuteness going on since the late calves that were born just a month
ago are getting up in size. The momma cows group them together in what I call a
nursery with one cow left to babysit while the other cows go out to graze. They 
have a good system keeping the babies protected and the mommas fed. The painting today 
is of a small heifer calf with a sweet look in her eye. I do love these little ones. Yesterday,
was, "A Painting Day".

A Blog Critique

Tony Moffitt has a most interesting blog, Artist.Blog.Critique,  that centers around critiquing artist's blogs.  I am happy to say Tony took a look at my blog, "A Painting Day" and sent me his published critique.  I truly was afraid to read it but read it I did.  I was happily surprised with a lot of very kind words regarding my animal portraits and good words for my new adventure using the palette knife in my plein air landscape painting.  If you would like to read the critique it is shown below or by clicking HERE.  I also want to say, Thank-You to Tony for making "A Painting Day" a special day.

Back To My Pigs - Carla


It has been a good day and I got back to the studio and went to work on another pig painting.  This is "Carla" a little black and white pig.  She looks most eager to make your acquaintance.  She may need a little more brush work tomorrow but as I mentioned she was eager to make her debut.  Painting a lively pig made for "A Painting Day".

Hopi


Hopi, a registered Paint, came to our farm in Missouri at just 5 months old.  She had been raised on large farm with a herd of nearly 100 horses all running free.  She had not been handled and she was a feisty little filly.  The man that had her had just inherited his father's farm and all of his father's horses.  He had 30 colts just a few months old and he asked if I would like to take a look at them?  I was not in the market for a colt of any kind but when I walked into the barn there was Hopi and well I kind of went crazy for her.  Hopi came to our farm supposedly for the winter.  The plan was to have Hopi be the baby sitter horse for our Fox Trotter filly, Cayenne.  With that said I was negotiating a sale price with Hopi's owner in just a few weeks of her arrival.  I liked her and she was a sweetheart.  Hopi joining our small herd of horses made for, "A Painting Day".
