I am a full time artist living in Orlando Fl, with my husband and our family of 2 Shih Tzus.
Nature Scapes in acrylic are among my favorite things to paint and this blog will show the progress of my works in their different stages. Many of my paintings are created using multiple canvases to create a sculptural affect. If you have any questions you would like me to answer about my work or techniques, please let me know and I will be happy to blog about it.
I am also a busy jewelry artist and will be posting photos of finished pieces of interest.
I'll also be including lots of garden photos and other inspirational pictures along the way.
I've been taking more flower photos on my vacation and enjoying every minute of it. This one above is so beautiful, Leucanthemum "Goldrausch" - Fringed Shasta Daisy.
A giant yellow Dahlia and a bud just getting ready to bloom below.
I was crawling around the ground for a lot of these shots, quite literally. The results were so much fun though, that I didn't mind at all. These Petunias are "Surfinia Yellow Bush".
View from the ground up, near a bed of Phlox.
I just loved this bed of gorgeous pink Petunias.
These are Phlox "Coral Reef ".
Phlox "Garden Leader Pink".
Sitting among the Snapdragons.
A beautiful yellow Holyhock in full bloom.
Up close and personal with a Sunflower and bud below.
I hope you've enjoyed the inspirational garden photos. I'll be back next week to show you some artwork that I finished right before my vacation. I've also got some very unusual miniatures to tell you about that give a whole new meaning to the word "mini".

Hi Ruth, It has been a pleasure this summer going on so many vacations and it hasn't cost me a thing. All your photos are gorgeous. ~ Lynn
Wow, Ruth, these are stunning photographs. It's impossible to pick a favorite because they are all so good! The fringed daisy really caught my eye... and of course being partial to coral, the coral phlox was wonderful to see(don't know if I have ever seen any in person.) Brilliant shots of the dahlia and sunflower buds. They're all lovely!
Oh Ruth ... these photos are stunning!!! I love the fringed daisy and the sun flower... how you caught the light with that one especially ... the darker shades at the bottom ..... you really ARE getting good with that camera... !!!
