This is an original oil painting by Ruth Housley done on a llx14 cotton canvas.

I love all kinds of flowers and have painted many of them over the years.

These are so delicate and only bloom for a couple of weeks briefly.
Rochester, New York is the Lilac Capital of the World.
On August 18, 2006, New York State Governor George Pataki proclaimed the Lilac as the State bush.
Aside from Roses, there is no flower as beautiful and aromatic as Lilacs.  Of the two, Lilacs have a stronger scent that carries quite a distance. 

Song of Songs 2:1 "I am the Rose of Sharon, a Lily of the Valley."

This is an original oil painting by Ruth Housley. I enjoy painting wildlife and especially birds as well as domestic ones.  I have painted geese before with a Border Collie chasing the geese off of the pond.  My brother works with a border collie and this is what he has to do to keep the geese from messing all over the grounds at some of the grounds in Washington, DC.

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

This is an original oil painting by Ruth Housley on Linen Panel canvas. This was an inspiration I had over a year ago that the Lord showed me in a vision of ladies praising the Lord.  The ladies are praising and giving thanks to the Lord Jesus Christ because HE has wonderfully and magnificiently made by the creator.  They are giving praise for the blessings in their life and all the times HE  has seen them through good times and bad. 

The colors I used are purple, and to compliment it I used yellow.  The other color is a blue green which coordinates with the other two colors very nicely.

Psalms 30:4 "Sing unto the Lord, O ye saints of his, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness."

Happy New Year to everyone and another New Year.

The Giving of Praise

This painting was an inspiration from a vision I had about a year ago of ladies giving praise to the Lord.  These three ladies are praising and giving thanks to the Lord Jesus Christ because we are all wonderfully and magnificently made by the creator.  The ladies are all different heights and have different personalities.  They are praising God for the blessings in their life and for all the times HE has seen them through good times and bad.

The colors I used are purple, and to compliment it I used yellow.  The other color which I used is a blue green which coordinates with the other two colors very nicely.

Psalms 30:4 "Sing unto the Lord, O ye saints of his, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness."

 Geese Season

I was inspired to do this painting because I enjoy painting wildlife and especially birds.  I have painted geese before as well as domestic birds.

The Timothy's Fine Art had their show in Dallas last week and I had nine of my digital images for the Copius Collection there also.  I heard they had a good show, but have not had any feed back yet.  

I have had some physical problems and that is why I do not have as many paintings completed as I have wanted to.  I have had these problems since the end of November 2009.
