Remembering last winter when we had all that snow.

The Many Blues & Hues of Antarctica Ice
My dear friend and former Tea Group colleague is in Antarctica shooting photos. She is an extraordinary artist and person. Check out her blog.
Dancers 18”x18” oil on canvas.
You can see this one hanging at Needham Dance Theatre. I did it early this fall, but never got around to posting it.
4”x4” oil on canvas.
This is just a little guy. Makes me think of olives and cantaloupe.
8”x8” oil and mixed media on panel.
I like the textures, the scratching, drawing into the paint.
“Paths, Real and Imagined” 30”x40” oil on canvas
Getting ready for our show at the Needham Public Library in February. I’ll post when it goes up.
I’ve accepted a job as art teacher at Ursuline Academy in Dedham Massachusetts.
I wasn’t looking for a change, but when the opportunity came my way, it was such a perfect fit I couldn’t pass it up. Unfortunately, this means that I’ve suspended my offerings of morning and after school art classes. I have kept one adult evening class going, but by consolidating my morning group into the evening group, I have no openings for new students at this time.
I will miss the students I’ve been teaching, wonderful artists each and every one. But I am also very excited about the new students I am about to meet; and the opportunity to craft the art program for the school. 2012 appears to be full of new beginnings for the Rufos!
Town Common, 24”x24”, oil and mixed media on canvas.
I really appreciate the traditional New England town common with little shops around it. It is picturesque in all seasons (except perhaps mud season). Folks from my hometown might notice in this painting our newly renovated town hall.
I just dropped this painting, along with all those recent abstracts, and several other things, at Studio Hop in Providence (810 Hope Street
Providence, RI).
