Morning On The Mesa - Ruth Andre

"Morning On The Mesa"

16"x16"x2" oil & mixed media on panel

by Ruth Andre

There is a cross country trip being planned and my mind is buzzing with images of the landscape in the southwest and the plains. Today's painting, "Morning On The Mesa" must be these thoughts coming to life. I plan to take my paints but am not sure how productive I will be? Just getting away will be refreshing and I am sure  new ideas will spawn. It has been, "A Painting Day".

Trade Blanket - Shifting Clouds

The passing rain has come and gone but there are a few clouds lingering over the valley. The lush green trees are turning shades of pale green to rust. Fall is a beautiful time of year. I continue with my quest to weave a pattern of paints that remind me of woven blankets and the southwest. Traveling the plains has made for, "A Painting Day".

Today's painting study is available as a triptych or as individual panels.

Red Horse

Today I made every attempt to work on my paintings for the coming Texas Western exhibit but the paint was still wet and a bit sticky on the canvas' so decided to finish a painting for a coming monthly Group Challenge.  I am happy to report I have been invited to join the Diana Moses Botkin Challenge group and we will all be posting this Friday for the January Challenge.  It should be fun to see what each member of the group paints for the challenge.  The theme and our paintings are secret until the day for posting so look for the Challenge post at the end of the week.  I still had some time to spare this afternoon and took the second canvas for the Albuquerque exhibit judging and painted another wild painting with the colors of the Southwest.  This is "Red Horse",  a wild stallion.  My studio was filled with color and it made for, "A Painting Day".
