Ruth Andre Painting - Seville


Today two veterinarians were here to do a small surgical procedure on my mare.  My studio is in the barn so while the vets worked I stayed out of the way and decided to bring out yet another tiny 3x3-inch canvas and paint.  I am  not a nurse and am kind squeamish about medical matters so painting was a good idea.   I chose to paint a lovely mare named, Seville.   Hiding out in my studio made for, "A Painting Day".

Today I was at my framer's studio to pick up a few framed works.  This wee 3x3-inch painting made me smile.  It is one of two paintings that may be a tiny diptych - 'Ellie & Kate".  Kate is waiting for her frame so I will show Ellie all dolled up.  Heading to Placerville to see Jim and Sarah made for "A Framing Day".

There were so many paths ... which way to go?

I traveled each and what did I see?

And the second ventured upwards, to the blue, blue sky.

Ruth Andre Painting-Sunday Stroll


Texas Longhorn Cattle are part of America's history.  They roamed wild across the prairie lands.  I visited a Texas Longhorn breeder, Alamendra Longhorns, owned by Pete and Ginny Boyce in Manteca, California a year or so back.  I got a tour of their ranch and even climbed a barbed wire fence to take a few photos.  The GATE was way over on the other side of the pasture so over I went. Longhorn cattle are majestic in their own right.  I love seeing their many colors, strong physique and their magnificent long horns.  I do appreciate Pete for taking me around his ranch.  Meeting Pete Boyce and seeing his Texas Longhorn herd made for, "A Painting Day".     EMAIL: almendralonghorns@hotmail.com

Ruth Andre Painting-Rushing Creek

There are so many paintings to be made just outside my studio door.  This one was taken just south of Sutter Creek off of  the old Hwy 49.  The leaves had just started to change from the dark green of summer to oranges and rusts of fall.  The current in the creek was strong and it was a beautiful scene.  Painting close to home made for, "A Painting Day".

Ruth Andre Painting-Shaded Oaks





I met with a local group of artists and we headed for Amador Lake here in the foothills.  It was a perfect day and just out side my oak covered covey I saw this group of oaks in the shade of the mountain.  I loved the blues and greens and the subtle grays I saw while painting the oaks.  There is  nothing quite like painting outside from life.  There are so many colors to be found.  Being on the lake in Amador made for, "A Painting Day".

Encinitas

I usually post Western works but today I am  heading down to the coast to Encinitas and posting a landscape painting from my painting archives. As I mentioned yesterday I have a sick horse and I am a bit overwhelmed with my horse doctoring schedule and will post a few landscapes for a few days.  I love getting out of the studio with my paints.  These are my bit of fun in the sun paintings.  Encinitas was my home a few years back.  It is a lovely ocean community.  Heading back to Encinitas made for, "A Painting Day".

Ruth Andre Painting-Valentine



This is a painting I completed awhile back. It is of a beautiful Appaloosa mare. I have a very sick horse at home right now and spending my time going back and forth to the pasture to medicate Angel's eye every two hours. It is so sad to see this lovely mare in distress. I did get a painting started today and if all is good tomorrow I will be sharing a just completed horse painting. Being the medic made for," A Stop & Go Painting Day".

The white buffalo is revered as being a sacred symbol to many Indian tribes. It is awe inspiring to see a white buffalo.

The white buffalo has special meaning to me. I have felt its spiritual essence. Seeing the Great White made for, "A Painting Day".
