Sonnet - Ruth Andre

Spring is springing with The Cattlemen's Western Art Show coming up in Paso Robles at the end of March and the Reflections of Nature show in Fallbrook, CA May 4,5 & and 6. The Cattlemen's Show paintings are completed and are being framed. I need a few more paintings for the Reflections of Nature exhibit and worked on this sweet sheep painting today. I am thinking today's work is the study for a larger painting but we shall see? Thinking spring made for, "A Painting Day".

High Desert Valley

I live in a valley not far from the Sierras. The road in between home and the mountains runs along pockets of valley areas with quiet streams and openness that seems to go on and on. I love these valley areas and the magnificent view of the mountains and the endless sky. Thinking of a summer vacation has made for, "A Painting Day".

"A Night in Paris" Donation - Ruth Andre

It is a "Night in Paris" themed fundraiser for the Webster School in Malibu. I was asked to donate a painting and thought the painting, "Stephanie" would be a welcome addition for the March 12, 2012 auction sale. I am sure the school will have a good turn out for the, Webster's PTA Annual Evening Event

I have been in southern California working and not painting. I so miss painting and hope to return soon to the studio for, "A Painting Day".

Blazing Cottonwoods - Ruth Andre

While in Amador City last week I painted this lively painting down by the creek that runs through town. The cottonwoods were blazing with color making for, "A Painting Day".

Silvana Reception - Ruth Andre

Painting is done in solitude. When out painting the landscape you strive to be with nature and do your best to take it all in and hopefully place that feeling with paint and brush on the canvas. The showing is an all together different thing. It done with bright lights and a lot of fan fare, a celebration at best. The Silvana Gallery knows how to celebrate art and I have posted a few photos sent to me by my son, Ian, that show a glimpse of the gallery and my paintings.

Thinking of the celebration made me think of how nice it is to have, "A Painting Day".
