I have taken many photos of sunsets and sunrises over the years and really do enjoy photographing them as well as painting them.  This is an original oil painting by Ruth Housley.  I have always loved sunsets and sunrises and what colors can form in the sky by God's creative hand. 

We visited this park when we lived in the area of Tulsa. It is a beautiful park and lots of azaleas in bloom as well as dogwood trees, redbud trees and lots of big trees.  This is an original oil painting by Ruth Housley.  The springtime is a nice time to be outside enjoying the weather before it gets too hot  This is a nice park to go to for the day and just walk and listen to the birds singing in the trees as well as enjoy the nice weather in the springtime.

Psalms 24:1 The earth is the Lords; and the fullness thereof, the world and they that dwelleth therein.

        "The Good Shepherd"


         "Lady With Parasol"

I was inspired to do "The Good Shepherd" painting and have wanted to do it for a long time.  The shepherd  is watching over his sheep like the Lord watches over us.  We just have to trust him and look to him for guidance for our lives each day.
I never know how the painting is going to come out when I start a new painting but work on it until I am satisfied. 
The painting of "The Good Shepherd" is on a gallery wrap canvas.
 
I had finished a figurative painting of "Fashionable Lady" and wanted to do another one so this one is "Lady with a Parasol". 

I have been wanting to do more figurative artwork since I did take portrait classes years ago.

I have always liked long dresses and nice clothes.  My mother would dress me up when I was a little girl and I would stay clean about all day.  I would like to help my mother on laundry day and then when it was time to go to town for shopping I always wanted to go.  So my mother would say that I liked laundry day and shopping days.

I am going to do a landscape painting next since I do get inspired to paint nature as well as figurative and all the beauty of God's creation.

I am always using a lot of white paint so I went to Hobby Lobby and Michaels to get more supplies. 

I did update my brochure that I did a few years ago.  Another friend of mine wanted me to do one for her so she could use it for her business.  I have not heard from her but when she is ready I will do it. 

I have my latest painting finished of "The Good Shepherd".  I was inspired to do this Original Oil Painting by Ruth Housley of the shepherd  because the Lord is our Good Shepherd.  He watches over us all if we trust in him. 

I have enjoyed doing figurative works and had portrait training years ago and wanted to get back doing portraits and figurative works of art.
