Commission Artwork

Ruth can create a family heirloom commissioned painting featuring your children, relatives or pets. Consider capturing your home, cottage or favourite setting with artistic touches that say much more than a snapshot.

Commissioned paintings can be created from photographs. Natural lighting (sunlight) works best to show true colours. It is preferable to see the subjects and photograph them myself, but if that is not possible, clients may provide me with their own suitable photographs.

Once a suitable material is selected, we would then discuss the best options to represent the subject and create the painting. Because each commissioned piece is unique, prices will vary. Quotes will be based on size, complexity, media and time involved. We can also create note cards and stationery based on the painting.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any question or want a customized painting. Thanks!

Morning Chat for Nov 1/2020

So how you all doing this morning? Good I hope. It’s a never ending battle these days with what is taking place in this old world of ours. But … things will get better if we all hang in there for a bit longer. This morning here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada it is raining, and cool. It pretty well rained all night long, with some strong winds at times. Temperatures waking up were sitting at 5.5 C | 41.9 F. We should be seeing some sunshine tomorrow. Which will be nice. “So … looking out I suspect I will stay in where it’s warm and dry today.” The good news is, we don’t have to shovel it. LOL. Highway 522 is bare and wet this morning with a few cars moving up and down the highway. Some probably heading off to church when in my eyes, they should be staying at home. But … it’s their life, not mine. Kind of makes me shake my head … with all we now know about this virus, yet some still think it is nothing to be concerned about. At any rate … such is life. On another note, I was glad to see that most of the parents here in town, kept their kids at home this Halloween, as last night it was very quiet. That is a good thing. For my wife and I we watched a good movie and relaxed. The old saying is: Life is what you make it. And for my wife and I we choose to make it exciting and happy when ever possible. LOL With that … I am off for a bowl of porridge and a cup of fresh perked coffee with my lovely wife. After that, I will be working away here on my computer getting ready to do some more PODCASTS. Again … my thanks to all that has gotten in touch with me saying how much they are enjoying them. Keeps me wanting to make more. Have a great November 1st, stay safe and do what’s right. GW

To be announced

I Am Working On An Event For The Summer Of 2021.

Morning Chat Oct 31/2020

It’s a cold morning here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. Temperatures waking up were sitting at -8.1 C | 17.42 F. It’s the coldest morning so far. But in saying that it will warm up a lot by the middle of the week. I might even be able to wash my car … and if real lucky, maybe put on a coat of wax for winter. That would be nice. We should see lots of sunshine today which will make things nicer. It seems … no matter what the day is, if it is sunny, things roll along a lot better. We also had a very heavy frost last night and everything from the top of the trees, down to the grass is white. But it will melt off now the sun is showing itself. Looks nice though. Highway 522 has been quite busy these days with more hunters coming into our area. The bush must be full! The good news for the deer is, that once that first shot is fired they go into hiding, knowing perfectly well what time of year it is. LOL As I said in other posts, I don’t hunt anymore. I haven’t got the gumption to sit out in the cold wet damp weather anymore. My warm house is more enticing these days. LOL Yesterday I got tied up on some things in our basement, so that is the reason for not doing my morning post. Today I am working on my website or blog, both the same. Making it so my wife can show off her paintings and things she has done over the years. Make sure you take a look when you find time. She is real talented artist. After that, I will then get to work on some new Podcasts. I would like to get another 100 done this winter. That’s my goal for now. Once finished … I will have 200 out there for folks to listen to. Kind of nice. With that I am off for my morning cup of coffee with my lovely wife, and I am thinking a poached egg on toast would be nice. I’ll talk real nice to my wife and see what she says. LOL Take care, stay safe, and do what’s right. Things are still very bad out there. Oh! And Happy Halloween! GW

Episode 45: Changes in Life

Episode 45: Hi folks. How you all doing? Good I hope. This week, I have another great podcast lined up for you. True story, and I am thinking a lot will be able to identify with what is being said. On another note … I would like to once again take a second and thank all those that have sent me Emails, Called and even written me, letting me know that they are enjoying my Podcasts. Makes my day when I get to reading them or hearing from folks. I would also like to thank those that are spreading my Podcasts through the Social Media, as I have many replies coming from there also these days. So with that. I hope you enjoy this week’s Episode: Changes In Life!

Good Morning Oct 29/2020

Good Morning! So I missed a couple of days here on the Walters Post LOL The reason for that is … our Internet was down for just about two days. Not much we can do about that. You know, I have to admit I never would have thought the internet would become such an important part of one’s life. At any rate, we are up and running this morning and things look to be working fine. It would be nice if they fixed it, so we here in Port Loring get the speeds that we are paying for. LOL Not very likely, but you never know, with all the new people moving into our area. It has been quite cool the past few days, especially through the night. Temperatures waking up were sitting at 1.4 C | 34.52 F which is a bit warmer than the day before. Highway 522 is still busy with hunting season for Deer almost here. It lasts pretty well for the first two weeks of November. If I might suggest … I would recommend anyone other than hunters to stay out of the bush for a few weeks. You just never know nowadays. LOL On another note, my wife and I did go to North Bay for Groceries yesterday. Picked them up, had lunch, and cup of coffee my wife made before we left and came back home. We didn’t get to see our youngest son Karl this time round, as he is now back to work. He was off for most of the summer with this virus. Is he happy about that? Well that remains to be seen. LOL. I am pretty sure he will be okay as the cases in North Bay are still low … but as parents, it is a concern. Our trip to town was great, as it is nice to get out and breath some different air and see different things. We eat our lunch in our car taking in what others are doing. As I said in other posts … it’s called being nosy. LOL We did see that, almost everyone is wearing a mask when going into the stores and some are even wearing them walking around or driving their cars, which in my mind is a good thing. Can’t take too many precautions these days. Today I will do some work here in the house getting ready some more podcasts. I am a bit excited this year to get back to making them, as I have some new ideas for the shows in mind. What would they be? Well … what would be the fun in telling you? You will have to wait and see. LOL With that, I am off for my morning cup of coffee with my lovely wife, and will then get doing some things. Take care, stay safe and do what’s right, when it comes to this virus that is in our midst. GW

Pretty Cool

I am not too sure if I could make one of these machines in my old woodworking shop. I have to say it is pretty ingenious. Giver a listen.

Good Morning Oct 27/2020

Good Morning! So how you all doing this morning? Good I hope. Ruth and I are making out okay other than the normal aches and pains caused by the weather and maybe being a touch older. But we are still moving around complaining so things aren’t all that bad. It is a cool morning here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada this morning with temperatures sitting at -3.1 C | 26.42 F. It’s the coldest morning so far. It will warm up a wee bit as the day progresses but not much. Highway 522 is busy this morning with cars, pick-ups and trucks along with busses taking the kids to school. So in seeing that it seems a lot of folks got out of bed early this morning. For myself and my wife when we wake up we get up. It hasn’t always been that way but where we are at in life now we do what our body lets us do. If anyone says. “It must be nice to sleep in now and then.” We say, “yep it sure is. We earned it too.” LOL. Yesterday we took it easy once again. Both our backs aren’t the greatest so taking it easy for a few days is high up on the lists of things to do. They are getting better slowly. All that outside work getting things ready for winter took a toll on us this year. With that I am off for my morning cup of coffee with my lovely wife, and then we will see what takes place for the remainder of the day. Take care, stay safe and do what’s right with this virus. It’s not getting any better. But in saying that the vaccines they are working on are getting closer to being had. Have a great day. It all boils down to how you make it. GW

Not a dry eye in the house

Here is a gal that can sure sing up a storm. I have to admit … I can’t understand a word she says but still … I had to listen to the end, as I am thinking you will. GW

Just for you

I am pretty sure my Cousin John will like this one as I do. LOL The ending might be a bit hard for some to understand. That is if you’re a tea toddler. Anyway’s giver a listen!

Farming Years ago

This is one of my favourite songs. Kenny is a great singer … and that tractor is easy on the eyes too. Enjoy!

Great Video

More folks should be thinking about what this video is saying. Especially today with this virus going around. Buy Canadian Folks when ever it’s possible. My wife and I have been promoting this for all our lives. Some listen but most don’t. But that’s not saying we can’t change, which will be much healthier for us all and along with that, it will give our farmers a reason for getting up in the morning. Give it some thought. All we have to lose is our country if we don’t, which is happening at a very fast rate. GW

What one says

Here is another that got my attention. I wonder how many folks out there has gotten themselves into this predicament from time to time through life. Read On.

Little Johnny watched his daddy’s car pass by the school playground and go into the woods. Curious, he followed the car and saw Daddy and Aunt Jane in a passionate embrace.
Little Johnny found this so exciting that he could hardly contain himself as he ran home and started to tell his mother. ‘Mummy, I was at the playground and I saw Daddy’s car go into the woods with Aunt Jane. I went back to look and he was giving Aunt Jane a big kiss, and then he helped her take off her shirt. Then Aunt Jane helped Daddy take his pants off, then Aunt Jane…’ At this point Mummy cut him off and said, ‘Johnny, this is such an interesting story, let’s save the rest of it for supper time. I want to see the look on Daddy’s face when you tell it tonight.’
At the dinner table that evening, Mummy asked little Johnny to tell his story.
Johnny started his story, ‘I was at the playground and I saw Daddy’s car go into the woods with Aunt Jane. I went back to look and he was giving Aunt Jane> a big kiss, then he helped her take off her shirt. Then Aunt Jane helped Daddy take his pants off, then Aunt Jane and Daddy started doing the same thing that Mummy and Uncle Bill used to do when Daddy was away on the oil rigs.’
Mummy fainted!
Moral:
Sometimes you need to just shut the … up and listen to the whole story before you interrupt!

Sign of the times for us older folks

I kind of think there is a lot of folks out there today that can identify with this feller! Take a listen.

Makes Sense to me

Now don’t you all get to thinking I am getting religious LOL as I surely am not. That’s the least thing I would do. LOL But every once in a while something comes along that gets my attention. Read On!

HYMN No.365

A minister was completing a temperance sermon.
With great emphasis he said,
‘If I had all the beer in The world, I’d take it and pour it into the river.’

With even greater emphasis he said,
‘And if I had All the wine in the world, I’d take it and pour it into the river.’
And then finally, shaking his fist in the air, he Said,
‘And if I had all the whisky in the world,
I’d take it and pour it into the river.’
Sermon complete, he sat down.
The hymn-leader stood very cautiously and announced
With a smile, nearly laughing,

‘For our closing hymn, let us sing
Hymn No.365,

‘Shall We Gather at the River.’
See you at the river.

Great Video

I have to admit this video gets your feet too moving. It starts off a bit slow …. but keep watching and listening. LOL It gets better. Enjoy!!

Great Way to build a tiny Home and other things

Interesting video. Amazing what they are coming up with nowadays.

Good Morning Oct 26/2020

Good Morning! It’s a cold morning here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. Temperatures waking up were sitting at 0 C | 32 F. It won’t warm up much more than it is now. And it will remain cloudy for most of the day with the possibility of some light flurries. Actually we did have some through the night, but nothing that is staying on the ground. Highway 522 is bare and dry with a few cars and trucks moving from East to West. Where are they going? Your guess is as good as mine. LOL. Hunting season for deer is closing in on us being the first two weeks of November, so I suspect we will have a few more coming into our area in a week or so. Yesterday I took it a bit easy as my old back is acting up, and I will probably be doing the same today. Seems it happens every year about this time. Crazy weather causes all kinds of things to take place. On another note we are burning some oil these days to keep our home warm. It’s not cold enough to burn wood yet, but I suspect it won’t be long before we light it up. The oil is nice as you just set the temperature to what you want and that’s all that is needed. Where wood you have to keep an eye on it and feed it constantly. Not that I mine though as it gives me something to do and keeps me fit going up and down the stairs into the basement. With that I am off for my morning cup of coffee with my lovely wife, do some chatting, and then we will see what takes place. You never know what can happen throughout a day. Stay safe and do what’s right as I see now we are over the 1000 a day being infected here in Ontario. Sad to see as we could cut that in half if folks would just wear a mask and stop going to places like restaurants, churches, visiting and places like that. I am beginning to lose my faith in some human’s. At any rate not much we can do other than set a … good example and look after ourselves and family. GW

Virus News

Ontario reported 978 new COVID-19 cases on Saturday, the most on a single day since the outbreak began in late January. Today’s count October 24/2020 surpasses the previous high of 939, which was reported on Oct. 9. The thing is folks … half or more could have been prevented if everyone wore a damn mask. It’s not the cure, but it sure helps a lot and the other thing is. If you do wear a mask and you do get it, it will be a lot easier on you. Also, should be noticed is that with this amount of people getting infected the hospitals are starting to fill up in certain areas. And a lot of people in the hospitals are now becoming infected. Food for thought.
