REVISITING OLD FRIENDS
Today I am revisiting older designs in my shop. I do feel like I am visiting old friends who I haven't seen a long while. I'm freshening them up and dressing some of Zazzle's newer products with them. Well new since this artwork was put into the shop for the first time anyways.
One of these designs is PONY EXPRESS U.S.A.
PONY EXPRESS U.S.A. is a watercolor painting I did several years ago and which still hangs in my home. I find I can't part with it. It started out as an experiment, crumpling paper and pouring paint and ended up with a soft, vintage feel full of the wind blowing through the horses mane and the Pony Express riders pushing their steeds to gallop across the western plains of America to get the U.S. mail delivered safely and on time.
Guess I better get back to work, Davinci is getting restless.....
talk again soon :)

Today I am EBSQ Blogger of the Week
Many thanks to EBSQ and Amanda Makepeace for the opportunity to be featured on EBSQ's blog. It is an honour and I truly appreciate it.
EBSQ supports living artists. If you've never checked it out, take some time to do so. Thousands of artists participate in EBSQ, it's forums, monthly juried shows, educational series and much, much more.
It was the influence of seeing the artists on EBSQ living their creative dream that galvanized me to begin doing so myself.
Please take some time to read the whole feature and perhaps a few others on the blog. Browse a few portfolios, meet a few new artists, perhaps find some inspiration for YOUR creative journey.
Cheers, Ruth

This week’s EBSQ Blogger of the Week is an inspiration. It makes so difference what medium she chooses to work in, her art speaks to the heart.

Who and where are you?
I’m Ruth J Jamieson and thank you for featuring me as blogger of the week. I’m a visual artist and potter, though I have been on hiatus from clay for a number of years. I live and work in a little house my family and I built on the beautiful north shore of Lake Nipissing, in northern Ontario, Canada. My dining room is my studio and I watch the sun travel the sky and watch glorious sunsets many evenings while I work. I would say my current artistic focus is on photography and fractal art. I also create many digital art images by combining various elements including my photographs and fractals.
