Ruth Farmer by Rachel K Schlueter


















Oil on 8x10" masonite panel.
Ruth Farmer is a new friend that I met through her daughter Jill Farmer who commissioned me to paint her mother's portrait for Ruth's 97th birthday. This is the second portrait of Ruth Farmer I've painted, here she is quite bit younger than in the first portrait .
