Lately I've been painting and drawing figurative  . . . people, animals and birds.  It's a new exciting subject for me as an artist, so much focus on landscape in the past.  Recently it's been the right time to dive into figurative:  portraits and the entire figure.  Look for more to follow!

Harbor View by Ruth Andre



The painting above was the last one painted while in Fort Bragg.  I stood in the shelter of the bridge pilings and shifted my focus to this cluster of trees leaning into the harbor.  The sun was moving in on one side and the the fog and the wind on the other side.  It was getting cold as I packed my gear to head back to Sutter Creek.  The group of painters all said good-bye and off we went.  The time together went by quickly and we all shared some a good times together.  I look forward to meeting up again for another paint out in the future.  Loved being on the California coast that made for, "A Painting Day".

Here is a painted impressionist study of a thicket of wildflowers at the edge of a forest, from a photo taken a couple years ago.  The wildflowers that year were thick and spectacular; the image is from the Gold Lakes / Sierra Buttes area which is definitely a high elevation alpine region.  This summer I want very much to return again for more hiking, painting and kayaking!

It's still spring in northern California!  The cool weather is lingering, the trees in the orchards are still in bloom here and there.  Summer is coming but at the moment, spring is hanging on.  I painted this last spring en plein air in a local little orchard;  a sweet place.

Foothill Oaks by Ruth Andre






I have been away from the studio for a few days.  There is a lot going on in my life right now and getting to the studio today was a pleasure very much missed.  I did not feel like jumping in to paint a large work or one that felt realistic, so out came a good size brush and a few bold colors.  It was a great warming up session and I feel like getting back to work won't be so hard for "A Painting Day".

Embracing this moment when the orchards are bursting into bloom is "Lumiere du Soleil, Printemps"; I'm paying respect to the French impressionists.  For those living here in Northern California it's been a long stretch of time waiting for the rains to stop .  The orchards and blooming trees are at their peak bloom and it's beauteous.
