Figures
Although I focus mainly on landscapes, occasionally I am inspired to represent the human journey through the painting of figures. These are not portraits, but rather archetypes and images communicating emotions and moments in a person's life. Collections have included images of people at work, and an exploration of the princess myth. The media include pastel, acrylic, oil, and mixed media--please see captions for details.
The "Beach Bits" images--all the 8" x 8" framed pastels--can be ordered as high-quality fine art reproductions, matted and ready to frame, for $50 CDN each plus shipping costs, by e-transfer. Contact me via email at rodgers.ruth@gmail.com if you wish to order one or more. Shipping costs calculated at time of sale.
Additionally, I accept commissions for similar works based on your photos, at the same price ($250 for an 8" x 8" original, matted and framed to 12” x 12”). Allow three weeks for delivery.

Cityscapes
Recently I’ve been experimenting with rainy street scenes, using a variety of techniques to give the impression of looking through wet windows/windshields. These have been quite well received, so I’ll likely continue the exploration for a while—living on the ‘wet coast’ provides lots of resource material!
