Hello, I'm Ruth, welcome to my page. I am an artist and the owner of The Blue Easel Gallery. This first picture shows me at my desk, in my studio at The Blue Easel Gallery. I can see out into my garden through the window behind me, it's also where my husband delivers hot cups of tea to me when I'm working. It doesn't normally look this tidy when I'm painting.
The Gallery is situated in Cramond Village, a picturesque spot on the outskirts of Edinburgh. I'm lucky enough to work and live here with my family and our irish terrier (aka Gallery dog). I would be delighted to show you round the gallery and my studio, please pop in if you're in the area.
I have recently launched a new online shop, I hope you will have time to have a look and see if there is anything you think might make you or a friend happy, or fit nicely into your home.
Please get in touch if you have any questions about my art, my painting process or the gallery in general, I'll be only to pleased to help.
Add your name to my mailing list and I'll keep you updated with what's happening, future exhibitions and new paintings as they become available.
Keep scrolling down the page to see examples of my work, past exhibitions and archived work.
Thank you
Ruth

EXHIBITIONS AND ARCHIVE INFORMATION
RUTH'S LATEST WORK
Ruth has been working on a series of new paintings during lockdown which have recently been launched on the website online shop.
The inspiration for this new body of work has come from many long dog walks with gallery dog, the flowers she discovered on these walks, her own garden and a collection of beautiful vintage tea cups that had belonged to her Mother-In-Law.
You can see video examples of how these new paintings were created on Ruth's instagram page @farquhar.ruth

# ARTISTSUPPORTPLEDGE
Sadly the gallery is currently closed which is why I am taking part in the
Artist Support Pledge initiative.
The Artist Support Pledge @artistsupportpledge is a wonderful initiative set up by Matthew Burrows @matthewburrowsstudio to help artists, who’s sales have disappeared, to support themselves and fellow artists during the Covid-19 pandemic.
The concept is a simple one. I will post images of work that I am willing to sell for no more than £200 each on my Instagram account @farquhar.ruth . Anyone can then buy my work. Every time I reach £1,000 of sales I pledge to buy another artists work for £200. That way I can also help to support other artists at this difficult time.
I will be offering a variety of original artworks for sale over on my Instagram page @farquhar.ruth, acrylics on canvas, board and paper, as well as original watercolours and lino prints, from £30 - £200.
All you need to do is keep an eye on my Instagram account regularly, I’ll be offering a new piece of art every few days. If you like something enough to buy it, please DM me or e-mail me at ruth.farquhar@blueyonder.co.uk and we can arrange payment and delivery.
Please also join my mailing list below for exclusive access to new work
Thank you
Ruth
