This is an original oil painting by Ruth Housley on a corner canvas.  I had some photos of a golden sunset and wanted to have a man fishing at sunset on the lake.  Enjoy.  There is a lot of yellow and yellow orange in this painting that makes it so bright.

I have worked in Office Administration for several years.  I am a very organized and neat person and like things to be in their place.  
I worked years ago as a secretary, clerical worker, typist, and a word processor.  I learned a lot in all of these tasks but I enjoy my art more.

I am able to express  myself in my art and hope the viewer can have a sense of being a part of the picture that I depicted.  I enjoy painting Landscapes, have been doing several Biblical scenes as well as Figurative.  Since I had portrait classes years ago I wanted to use my skills from those classes to do figurative paintings. 

I paint by being organized also and some people may not like the way I paint but I have the talent God gave me and I use it to the best of my ability. I have not did any Plein Air painting.

My art has been juried in three times for the show with Timothy's Fine Art that was suppose to be in Las Vegas but now will be in Dallas.

This is an original oil painting by Ruth Housley on a Gallery Wrap Canvas 14x11.  I have been wanting to do a painting of an Orchid for a while. One of my doctors said his wife liked Orchids so I decided I would paint one.

 

My newest painting of "The Conqueror and King" is a Biblical and Prophetic Original Oil Painting.  It is on a stretched canvas 18x14.

The scripture for "The Conqueror and King" is Revelation 19:11-16.  "I saw heaven open and there before me wa a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True.  With justice he judges and makes war.  His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns.  He has a name written on him that on one knows but himself.  He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the word of God.  The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean.  Out of his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations.  He will rule them with an iron scepter.  He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty and on his robe and on his thigh he has this name written, KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS."

The other painting I did recently is the "Swan on the Lake".  It is an Original Oil Painting on stretched Gallery Wrap canvas and the size is 16x12.  The scripture for this one is Psalms 24:1 "The earth is the Lords; and the fullness thereof, the world and they that dwelleth therein."

I am going to start another painting and it will be floral.

I have met another artist that lives about 15-20 miles from me and we are trying to get together to actually meet.
She is involved in stained glass classes as well as piano.

I have had a few more to sign up for my email newsletter that I send out once a month and also have a place that is interested in my art to put in their place of business.

Until next time keep checking in to see what I have new or what is happening with Ruth's art.

This is an original oil painting by Ruth Housley.  I am finished with my newest Biblical painting and it is a prophetic painting.  The scripture for this painting
 comes from
Revelation 19:11-16 "I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose ridger is Faithful and True.  With justice he judges and makes war.  His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns.  He has a name written on him that no one knows but himself.  He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the word of God.  The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean.  Out of his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations.  He will rule them with an iron scepter.  He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty and on his robe and on his thigh he has this name written,
KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS
