Thank you for taking a minute to review my work in the galleries. What you'll see is the best of my most recent paintings in each category.

The mission of my work is to convey as convincingly as possible, the beauty of the people, flora and fauna I find all around us. My aim is to convince the viewer that, in the most ordinary ways, beauty surrounds us and can inform our lives.

I am available for commission work. Please contact me at joe_ruiz@bellsouth.net to make inquiries.

I hope you enjoy what you see.
