Cascading Oaks by Ruth Andre

While out painting with Julie Trail on Monday we headed down Stringbean Alley just outside of Amador City, California.  We decided to paint by the entrance to the Sutter Creek Gold Mine.  It was a cold morning with a heavy frost on the ground and 25-degrees.  Luckily the sun warmed the ground but since I was standing in a shady spot my toes and hands were cold.  I am wearing my Muck boots on the next outing.  The view was beautiful in every direction.  This little painting, "Cascading Oaks" was painted near the end of the session with me standing on one foot and then the other, trying my best to stay warm.  Seeing the muted colors of fall made for, "A Painting Day".

A Painter's Cloth

White Cloud by Ruth Andre

The rain is still coming down here in Northern California.  The creek is way up and has been for several days.  It makes for a true adventure getting across the creek and out of the valley. I have spent these rainy days in the studio painting except to venture out to feed and bring the horses to the barn.  We all get wet and the horses are full of energy so I step quickly under the yellow slicker. The painting today is of a wild Mustang stallion.  You may remember the post showing the work in progress photo a few weeks back.  I am happy to say it is now finished and ready to enjoy and it made for "A Painting Day".

to create this abstract buffalo painting. Lots of vivid colors, contrast, 

and texture in this expressionistic contemporary wildlife bison piece.

Ruth Andre Painting - Texas Night

Texas Night

My friend, Sarah, has an eye for photography and the reference photo for the painting today is one from her collection of photos.  I think she found this Texas Longhorn Cow, I have called, "Texas Night", at a horse and cattle show in Grass Valley.  Sarah has several talents beside her photography.  She is also a clay artist Sculpting and designing Stoneware Buttons.  You can find her beautiful works at Palomino Blue Etsy Store .  Meeting Sarah has made for, "A Painting Day".
