Bring an umbrella, wear comfortable footwear and maybe find that beautiful piece of art that you have always wanted. Or find something unique for a Father’s Day gift. See you out there!

I don’t usually paint with watercolors but I do like to dabble in them. This tiny painting 5”x3” I created while hanging out with my artists friends at the Niagara Arts and Cultural Center.

Happy dance! Invited back to Allentown Art Festival 2026. June 13 and 14. Mark your calendars to come see what’s new, exciting and hopefully find something special for yourself or a friend. This photo is of my booth in 2025 under the famous resting lion mural just off of Delaware Avenue on Virginia Street. I expect to be in the same location this year.

Fresh off the easel and onto the drying rack. The name of this painting is “Restoration”. It is a reflection of the feeling I’m having recovering from illness and grief. And it is a celebration of having a completely clear PET scan screening for cancer. My heart and body are being restored by God daily.
Kayaking and being out on the water is one of the places I love to go to when I want to feel peace and be alone with God. The water can also turn tumultuous like life does. Anyone else looking forward to their first paddle?
This 12” x 12” Oil on Canvas is available in my home gallery and will be posted online soon. www.ruthbentonmiskofineart.com
