Bears can often be seen standing in water waiting for the salmon to come by, especially in the spawning season.
Website
I have created a new website featuring my artwork and also a shop where you can purchase my artwork on cards.

tHIS IS ANOTHER DEMO DONE THIS WEEK
WHITE LILIES
White Lilies was a demonstration I did this week at an art show… soft whites worked well.
COASTLINE
All along the Pacific Coast from Oregon to Alaska you will find scenes like this. Years of wear and tear and pounding surf create the most beautiful rock formations.
CALIFORNIA QUAIL
We used to have a lot of quails in my garden until a cat moved into the neighbourhood. .
YELLOW BIRD
I am in a Bird Challenge on Facebook,..so I have been a few different birds. I liked this fluffy little guy. Watercolour.
WHERE’S THE GIRLS
Every now and again I love to do a painting on Yupo. You have very little control as it slides around so much and once you turn the dryer onto it iust moves around like crazy. This is a great way of loosening up. I think he is a rooster with attitude!
Spring and an update
Spring has truly arrived here on the island and I am so glad I am out of the snow and ice. My family and friends back East are having a dreadful winter.. I remember it well.
My teaching is going very well and I now have every morning filled. I find it does cut into my own painting time so I haven’t done very much recently. I am participating in a show in April “Tapestry of Island Arts” which has 9 terrific artists and myself..Do we ever get over feeling inadequate?? I have a few new paintings away getting framed and hope they look good when done.
My husband continues to improve after his devastating stroke and is almost back to normal. Sometimes miracles do happen.
Thanks to those of you who take the time to say hello.. I truly appreciate it.
Hugs Ruth
BLUE HERON
Living beside the ocean with an abundance of sea food these patient little fellows sit amongst the rocks waiting for dinner to pass by. My intention was to use negative painting to indicate the plumage. Enjoy.
