New A E Ruffing "Black-capped Chickadee and Iris" Giclee Print

I've added a new 8 x 10 inch giclée print to both our web site and my Etsy shop. This giclée is based on my original watercolor painting "Black-capped Chickadee and Iris".

I painted this familiar bird looking alert and inquisitive, the way I often see him in the garden. He's a striking little bird, and I think the soft mauves of the iris make him look all the more dramatic, with his sharply-contrasted blacks and whites and grays. I set him against a pale yellow sky, with a deep blue-shadowed tree and distant woods of golds, greens, mauves, and blues behind him.

This giclée is a standard 8 x 10 inch image size, on 9 x 11 inch art paper, and is hand signed.

New One-of-a-kind Original Star Baby Art Doll by Elizabeth Ruffing

"Sigrid the Star Baby" is making her debut! Sigrid is a newly born star. She is jointed at her shoulders and hips so she can lie down or sit. She is made of 100% cotton which was gessoed, painted with acrylic artists' paint, then sealed with matte varnish for protection...just like I would treat an original painting.

She has an adorable pouting baby face, with one little tear on her cheek.

I am offering a giclée print of "Moon and Star" as well. It makes a lovely companion piece for Sigrid because it goes so nicely with her turquoise and gold onesie. "Moon and Star" is featured on her hang tag.

New A E Ruffing Art Prints on Etsy

My Etsy shop has some new additions. I've listed quite a few of my fine art giclées in my shop. These are a small sampling. Above is "Oriole and Daylily", depicting a Northern Oriole perched on an orange daylily.

This is "Hiding", showing a little Eastern cottontail rabbit tucked away among the black-eyed Susans.

And this is "Sunday Morning", a country porch scene with a rocking chair, all in blues and greens.

All of these giclée prints are based on my original watercolor paintings, and are printed on heavy-weight fine art paper. Please visit my shop and take a look!

New Elizabeth Ruffing Fairy Prints

These are two new fairy art giclée prints for our Ruffing's web site. Both are a standard size 8.5 by 11 inch image size on 9.5 x 12 inch fine art paper. Both are fantasy pieces based on my original watercolor and pen and ink paintings. Above is "Moon and Star" which depicts the moon as a woman with butterfly wings and a star as a young girl. Both are descending toward the horizon at dawn.

This giclée is entitled "The Moon Sings a Lullaby". I was imagining what kind of lullaby the moon would sing, if the moon could sing, to help people drift off to sleep. I thought of the sounds of katydids, which I’ve always loved to listen to on summer nights. And I thought of the poppy field in The Wizard of Oz, which caused Dorothy and her friends to fall asleep on their way to The Emerald City. This is the moon singing us all to sleep with a lullaby full of poppies and katydids.

Both prints are also available in my Etsy shop. Please visit!

Iris, Pansy, and Rose Floral Giclée Art Prints in Elizabeth Ruffing's Etsy Shop

I've added four of our floral giclée art prints to my Etsy shop. Each one is 3.5 by 5 inches image size on 6 x 8 inch fine art paper. I chose a standard size 6 by 8 inch paper size to expand framing options, as these will fit in either a standard 5 x 7 inch or a standard 6 x 8 inch size mat and frame set, with a white border showing.

Each giclée has a decorative floral border surrounding the central image. Above is "Pansies".

"Purple and White Iris"

"Peach Iris"

"Pink Roses with Gold Border"

The original watercolor paintings are also available for sale on our Ruffing's site.

Elizabeth Ruffing's New Etsy Shop

Elizabeth Ruffing's new Etsy shop is now open. I've stocked it with many of my fine art giclées and a couple of original art quilts as well. I'm planning on making the giclées on the Ruffing's site available on Etsy, to add an extra ordering option.

This is a giclée of my original watercolor painting, "The Rabbit Dances".

This is a one-of-a-kind original art quilt wall hanging of hand-dyed batiks framing a canvas print of my original watercolor, "Valentine", which shows a pale pink iris on a muted magenta, art nouveau-inspired wallpaper background.
