Hello from Grosse Ile! Rick and I really enjoyed viewing your work. How awesome it must be to be as gifted as you. I really liked all your work but a few stood out for me. By the Water was one of them because of the way you painted the water. Open was a great use of color and perspective. When life Hands You Lemons was cool also not only because the pitcher looked real but the message it sent. I just love how well rounded your work is. I am sure it is not "work" at all. Donna

Hi Ruth Thanks for sending. These are awesome. They bring back fond memories. I love the picture of Oma, your dad (my uncle Abe), loading the tomatoes. I'm in South Carolina at your next showing but I will make a point of seeing you about some of my favourites soon. .. Rudy

Ruth this work is fantastic! Dave and I will have to get in touch when we leave Hong Kong and start decorating our Winnipeg condo. It would be great to have an original Driedger on the wall. I loved the painting of Oma. All the best! MaryLou

Ruth, you took my breath away - I never expected to see what I just saw when you said to check out your website. You are truly an artist! I am so proud of you!

Colleen McDonald - 24 Aug 2009

Hi Ruth, you are truly a talented artist who has personally created Cruiser 730 for my husband. It was a perfect gift that was better than I ever imagined. You took a simple idea of painting a cruiser to a beautiful scene by placing it in front of the station to finish off the look. You placed personal touches on the vehicle that I would have never imagined to make it so special for my husband and my family. I cannot thank you enough for the wonderful job you have done. Many many thanks!

Dora - 2 Aug 2009
