Roadblock - Ruth Andre
"Roadblock"
5"x5" Oil and Mixed Media on Paper
by Ruth Andre
My husband just returned from a driving trip across country. He had many stories to tell since he was away for five weeks. On his way home traffic was stopped in Texas due to a sand storm. A detour was set up that took him over hill and dale on a windy two lane road. You can only imagine the traffic and the sandy landscape. I must have been thinking about the Texas adventure when I painted this painting. I can feel the wildness of the open land.

A Painting Day - Lagoon - Ruth Andre

I am also in the process of ordering mats for these paintings on paper and will be offering the paintings matted and sleeved or matted with a frame. Photos will be coming soon. Enjoy and follow along for the

Back On the Trail - Ruth Andre
"Back on the Trail"
4"x4" oil & mixed media on panel
by Ruth Andre
I am posting this small painting today to share a few long sighs that were issued as I tackled this 4x4 inch canvas panel. You would think working small would mean working quickly and the painting would be completed in no time at all. The truth is small is a no man's land at best if you are looking for speed. I lost count on how many times I photographed this painting then changed the painting. I am leaving it as is and moving on to get back on the trail to larger paintings. It has been, "A Painting Day".
