I am reading, "Claude and Camille" by Stephanie Cowell. It is a book about Monet's life in Paris when he was a struggling artist doing his best to sell his paintings. At one point he felt he had to leave the city of Paris and find solace close to the sea. He speaks of how the sound of the waves was always with him. The sea was the inspiration for many of his paintings. When I visit the coastal towns here in California there is a part of me that wants to stay so I can see and feel the beauty of the sea. It has been, "A Painting Day".

Stormy Morning - Ruth Andre

"Stormy Morning"

5"x7" oil on panel 

by Ruth Andre

SOLD

This is another painting from the Fort Bragg, California trip. The wind was up and the sea was rushing to shore as the seals played in the surf. It must be so grand to live on the coast and enjoy the constant movement of the sea. I truly fell in love with Fort Bragg during this trip north. I wanted to find one of the coastal cottages that are so quaint and call it my own. It was, "A Painting Day".

Summer can make me forget there are other seasons that get cold and there is real work to be done. I recommend taking a day trip  to the coast to walk along the water's edge. It is so good for the soul. Summer has made for, "A Painting Day".

Sea Bluff - Ruth Andre

"Sea Bluff"

6"x8" oil on canvas

by Ruth Andre

This past week I had the opportunity to travel to Fort Bragg, California. I met up with a group of artists and painted the beautiful vistas available along the sea coast. The weather was just about perfect except for a couple of days with high wind that buffeted our easels and made for some interesting brush work at times. This painting, "Sea Bluff" was painted in Mendocino right across from the old town shops. Mendocino was bustling with tourists visiting the shops and strolling down to the bluff's edge to see the coastal waters as the waves pounded the rocky coast. It felt so good to paint plein air and enjoy the sounds of the sea. The day made me grateful for, "A Painting Day".

Song of the Sea - Ruth Andre

I lived in Encinitas, California for  a few years and each morning as I headed for the kitchen I would look out to the ocean to see what the day had in store. It was always a treat to see the ocean or on those cloud filled days, the grey mist and fog. The ocean view was alive with daily changes and always beautiful. Today's painting, "The Song of the Sea" gives a glimpse of the never ending changes of the sea. Living on the coast made for, "A Painting Day".
