GODIVA VARIATION 4
The naked ride of Lady Godiva has ensnared imaginations for generations, my imagination included. I am offering on Etsy a series of prints of Lady Godiva’s provocative equitation, as seen from various viewpoints.
Variation 4 shows the lady taking a midnight ride, safe from prying eyes. She is attended only by moonflowers and night flying birds — who are totally indifferent to her rank and the opulence of her station, as well as the fact that she has no clothes on!
GODIVA VARIATION 2
The naked ride of Lady Godiva has ensnared imaginations for generations. My imagination included. I am offering on Etsy a series of prints of Lady Godiva’s provocative equitation, as seen from various viewpoints.
Variation 2 shows her eagerness to set off on her morning ride —an eagerness more than matched by the eagerness of her horse!
I originally painted this Horse, ridden by a hunter wearing riding pinks, on a 3’ x 5’ canvas. I had to redo the image digitally for printing, and other features.
GODIVA VARIATION 1
The naked ride of Lady Godiva has ensnared imaginations for generations. Mine included. I am offering on Etsy a series of prints of Lady Godiva’s provocative equitation, as seen from various viewpoints.
Variation 1 shows her riding out Into blooming nature, early on a spring morning in old England.
I painted this scene originally in automotive lacquer on the side of a car. I recently redid it digitally in order to offer prints.

I hadn’t posted for a long time. Each long-ago post was a panel in my long running, excellent, insightful, witty – and ignored – comic strips . Might as well save the effort, I thought, since no one in cyberspace is paying attention.
Well, how wrong I was! Out of the blue, a notice arrived:
”Hi Adrian
People visiting Adrianruyle haven’t heard from you in a while. Write a post,or share a photo or video to keep people engaged.
Thanks,
The Facebook Ad Team “
Some one out there cares! Some one is listening! Of course it’s “just” the programmed robots at Facebook — So what? I have found my true audience . The robots follow me faithfully. They keep everything I post. They uncritically accept my most personal thoughts.
To heck with “keeping people engaged”. Keep robots engaged! So , my true robot friends, these posts are for you!!

A trial piece sketched up in Procreate on my iPad Pro. The title refers to morning prayers or ecclesiastical routines.
I forgot to sign this sketch, or to polish it up. Next time.
