“Birdsong” copyright Ruth Armitage 2010 Watercolor & Gouache 11″x15

I’m framing the last painting today for the Sitka Invitational. You can see my work on display at the World Forestry Center near the Washington Park Zoo, Saturday November 10th and Sunday the 11th. I’m so excited to be participating in this exciting show, and thrilled that my painting “Birdsong” was used on one of the invitations!  I will be at the Party with the Artists on Saturday night and will be serving as a docent on Sunday afternoon. Hope to see all you art collectors there!

Who would enjoy this show?

– Anyone looking for a stimulating cultural outing.
– All those appreciating artwork that reflects our natural world.
– People who truly believe that art can feed the soul.
– Artists looking to draw inspiration.
– Students of all ages.
