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".

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".

Art to Benefit California Coastal Horse Rescue


I am very excited to announce that starting today I will be 
painting and drawing 50 horses in 50 days and 15% of the profits will be 
given to California Coastal Horse Rescue in Ojai. The equine artwork 
will consist of drawings and paintings. Some will be small 
and some larger. The styles will also vary and will include 
impressionistic, expressionistic, and abstract. 

  California Coastal Horse Rescue in Ojai provides food, shelter, 
rehabilitation, medical care, and adoption services for horses that have 
been abused, abandoned or neglected. This is an opportunity for 
me to help those horses. It's also going to be a growing experience 
for me as an artist. I hope you will follow along and watch 
my progress over the next 50 days!
