All I wanted was to tidy a few things up

I realised just before I painted this work that I needed another painting so when I packed paintings for the #exhibition I had the right number to pack them face to face and back to back. I had enough paintings for the exhibition. It would be an extra. So I put a canvas on the #studiowall and with the exhilaration of completion I exuberantly got into the process. Then I stopped and realised I’d come to a point where it was finished or was it? If I continued I would lose it. I took a walk in the garden. I pondered the situation and then I rang through to @theartvault and spoke to Mia. Think it’s finished. Not sure about it. It feels raw and expressive. What’s your opinion? Sent an image to her. Got a message back - love it! So I walked away. And I am very happy with it, a fitting final #artwork for the exhibition

There are 4 larger paintings in the #exhibition Little Big Work on at @theartvault till 7 December. I had already completed 3 larger paintings in the #covid_19 series and thought I’d do another. This is the #painting Covid19 #series painting #19 62cm x 77cm. As I was painting it I realised there was a depth within the painting I didn’t initially expect. I loved it. The depth is not easily discernible but if some time is spent ..... I paint on the #studiowall in natural light from the skylight the lustre of the layers in certain areas wasn’t readily obvious but they do quietly reveal themselves to the viewer when the painting is given time. This series is #abstract. Abstract art is based, as any good art is, on good composition but without the usual reference to the real world. Then again as we all live in the real world it guides and informs our aesthetic approach however we approach it. Nature teaches us so much. #nature #art #artistsoninstagram #abstractpainting #abstractartist #contemporaryart #contemporaryartist #acrylicpainting to check out the concept of abstract and #ruthlecheminant go to @ruthbluemts a #bluemountainsartist #ruthloadedbrush #ruthbluemts presently #exhibiting at #theartvault in #mildura the #mallee area of Victoria 💕

I’m taking you through the #exhibition Little Bi

I’m taking you through the #exhibition Little Big Work in now at @theartvault #mildura. I went into the studio during #covid_19 and just painted for the sheer pleasure my internal world. At times it was meditative, at times exuberant, others peaceful so the #paintingseries I called Covid19 is in a way my Covid journey, each painting numbered for their place in the series. This #painting is Covid19 series Painting #18 #art is a wonderful visual communicative medium. #abstract #anstractpainting #abstractartist #contemporaryart #contemporaryartist #acrylicpainting work by #ruthlecheminant check out @ruthlecheminant a #bluemountainsartist #ruthloadedbrush #ruthbluemts ❤️

Enjoy a quick view of my #exhibition ‘Little Big Work’ in the small #gallery space at @theartvault in #mildura. Big thanks to all at The Art Vault who put up the #exhibition and helped me feel involved - Mia, Julie, Andrew, Robert and all at #theartvault

This Friday I will pack the #painting Covid19 Series - A Study in Contemplation into the van and deliver to the @blacktownarts as an #entry into the Blacktown Arts Prize. Thought I’d present the development of the painting as it was painted on the #studiowall. It’s a large work 122cm x 110cm and first quite well on the floor of the van. #ruthlecheminant @ruthlecheminant.com #ruthloadedbrush #contemporaryartist #contemporaryart #contemporary #abstract #abstractart ##abstractpainting #art #artwork #australianart #australianartist #bluemountainsartist #buyart #exhibition #blacktownartprize2020

Here is Covid19 Series Painting #16

The paintings are at @theartvault and will be hung Monday for the #exhibition. Some of these paintings fell so easily onto the canvas it was as if the paint knew where to go. This one certainly did.

This #painting is in the #exhibition Little Big Works at @theartvault in #mildura. Given the borders are opening 😁👍 it’s possible to visit.

Here is Covid19 Series Painting #18

Now that I can relax knowing the #paintings have arrived here is another in the #exhibition Little Big Works at @theartvault in #mildura.

I sent 3 parcels to The Art Vault. There were 12 x paintings 51cm x 46 and 4 x paintings 61cm x 77cm in the exhibition. I decided to paint and send an even number of work of paintings as they need to be packed back to back and face to face.

Painting #18 is a quieter reflection on being. A meditation in gentle colours and energy. For me there’s always a story with a painting.
