Hood Canal, Washington Acrylic paintings

A client had placed a custom order for a sole fish, starfish, crab, and shrimp. These were all first's for me. It's always exciting to tackle new marine life for the first time. I never know the direction I want to go, but when a client says "these are the colors I would like and that I trust you to do your thing!" For me that's all I need to hear to be able to create a one of a kind piece of art. To have that kind of trust from a client and know they will be happy in the end is why I continue my craft. It's taken me years to home in on my style, but now that I have I've hit the ground running. Hope you enjoy!

Seascape/Surf Collection

All artwork is painted by Amber Ruehe and sold on Etsy: https://www.etsy.com/shop/AmbersNature

This Seascape collection was inspired by some friends photographs that were taken of the Californian coastline. Once I say the pictures I had to put my Impressionistic/realistic spin on them.





This Surf Art collection was inspired by an upcoming trip to Florida to visit family and stay on the beach. Everyone in my family went to bed extremely early, so I had all the time in the world to be one with my art. No interruptions, just a girl, a few blank canvases, a paintbrush, and a whole lot of paint. Pure Bliss!

Random thoughts for the day!

Writing/ Grammar have never been my strong suit, but I thought "you know what I can try, what's it going to hurt!" Maybe some of you will find my thoughts are entertaining. So here we go. 


My name is Amber and I enjoy long walks on the beach, playing with action figures, and singing at the top of my lungs in the shower. Oh wait! I'm just kidding! What am I doing this isn't a dating site. Duh! Okay for real now. Last night I decided to start getting back into some galleries and shops with my artwork. So I started writing some rough drafts about myself and why my artwork should be displayed at their stores. I realized two things, I don't enjoy bragging about my achievements and trying to put into words why my art is so awesome is really hard.  Needless to say, my art gallery email made it about four sentences before I zoned out and three pages of random thoughts appeared. Here is an example of those thoughts; do you ever wonder when you have a vivid dream about being a NINJA that maybe in your past life you actually were a Ninja? Why can a toddler jump off a tall piece of furniture and not have a scratch, but you slightly rub your leg against a coffee table and you have a bruise. That’s just two of the random thoughts from my writing. If you love random thoughts follow me on here!
