Puesta de Sol - Ready to Ship - Ruth Andre

You have read how great my framer has been over the years and how I believe frames make a painting complete. Well, today I went to visit Jim Ginney's studio to pick up my painting, "Puesta de Sol". The painting has found a home with a Kay, a wonderful lady that loves the southwest. It was exciting to see the finished framed painting today and it is now all packed ready to ship. No easy task, I might add. There is one thing about visiting Jim's studio and that is his assistant, Sarah. Sarah has a beautiful face and a rather quick and funny way about her and will give you a run for your money. I asked Sarah if she would hold the painting up for me so I could take an iPhone photo and this is what I got. I call it Naughty & Nice. Sarah usually gets me laughing about something but I did not see photo #2 until arriving home. The things artists have to put up with while out in the real world! As you scroll down the last photo of the group is a picture taken just outside Jim's studio back door. His studio is in the foothills of Placerville and the setting is so serene. Nice to know Jim and Sarah and nice  to have had, "A Painting Day".

Plein Air Paintings





Today I am showing a little Art Show at my framer's shop in Placerville, California. Jim Ginney is a fantastic guy and has been helping me choose just the right frames for the past few years. He has a wonderful spirit and seems to always know what is needed for the perfect marriage of frame and painting. Jim has selected a few of my plein air paintings to show at his shop and I am truly pleased. Jim is also a fine art photographer and when you visit his shop, you get a case of the "I Want", when you see his beautiful nature photography. Meeting Jim has made for, "A Painting Day".
