Mom and I came across this turquoise cruiser tied to a Chinatown bike rack in front of a turquoise coloured store. Irresistible!

Raven Kids

2012-03-02T16:20:00.001-08:00

This is one from the summer that I finally finished. We have ravens that nest on our property and when the young get to be teenagers, it is fun to watch them interact on the front lawn. They are noisy, smart and sociable.

Memories of a Road Trip

2011-10-19T17:39:00.000-07:00

Just got back from a trip to Ontario. We did a lot of driving and it seemed like we often waited for road construction.

Veg with Turban Squash

2011-09-29T10:40:00.000-07:00

Actually did this on Sunday after acquiring a gorgeous Squash. Haven't had time to post it until today. Back on Pender and back to painting right now.

I started this last fall and just finished it yesterday! Last year my studio was in the spare bedroom. The leaves have not even started to change over there yet.

Last Day Sunflowers

2011-09-16T20:08:00.000-07:00

I thought I was sick of doing sunflowers, but they were on their last legs today, so had to do one last painting of them.

Anglican Church Retired

2011-09-14T18:43:00.000-07:00

On the weekend we drove down to Gowland Point - the most southerly point of the Pender Islands. Just south of Poet's Cove Resort, we passed the Anglican church. A quaint, rustic little place tucked in amongst the trees, now retired.

2011-09-12T17:23:00.000-07:00

The last three sunflower paintings were painted from flowers I bought at the market on Saturday. In the first one they were quite wilted from the heat of the car, but they perked up with some water for the last two poses.

I walked up above the winery yesterday and was inspired to paint this one. Unfortunately my inspiration did not last long enough to name it.

No time to paint today. Coady's visited by boat and ended up buying a painting. This is Kate carting it to the boat.

I have started the blog so that I can post paintings without having to access my computer. I need my Victoria computer to do that - it's complicated.... So if you want to view older paintings from July back, go to www.nancyruhl.com.
