As I stand still

All I wanted was to tidy a few things up

#flowers on the #vine on the #chookrun fence. Thought I’d post a flower I love to look at when I go out to the #chookhouse to collect the eggs. #artiseverywhere #wentworthfalls #bluemountains #ruthlecheminant #ruthloadedbrush #ruthbluemts

I haven’t painted in awhile. I now know I’ll get back to my creative endeavours soon. I’ve been preoccupied. It will happen once the #renovation, our ‘wonderful idea’ is completed. The idea 💡 of ‘why don’t we merge these 2 rooms and make a large bedroom’. The one with a bedroom with a walk in wardrobe. How cool is that! And with an en-suite that’s just so schmick ....’ and like all good ideas - coming up with the idea took no time at all! The execution is different. So much longer!! We have a great builder Paul who project manages with us and you’ve got to love a builder who vacuums as he goes to keep things neat and tidy and is meticulous in his workmanship.

I had 2 #studiocats. Now I have one.
Ruby - that grey lap-seeking attention loving and lover of most males who entered the house - passed away Thursday afternoon. Just over a week ago she came to her evening meal with difficulty with her face on the diagonal and unable to support herself on her front left leg. She was taken to the vet right away. We hoped as the vet did it was an ear infection & she would improve. She did not. Wednesday evening I took her to SASH (Small Animal Specialist Hospital) and a diagnosis of neurological problems and little possibility of improvement was made. It was a long trip home with her. We made the decision to let her go respecting she would be comfortable and out of any pain.
She is being cremated and we intend to scatter her ashes with those we have of her brother. They were a bonded pair and it seems right. Ruby was not the same after Rafa passed away. It’s fitting they be together now.

#pink #flannelflowers #pinkflannelflowers in the #

#pink #flannelflowers #pinkflannelflowers in the #bluemountains are just magical. Pink flannel flowers only appear after catastrophic bushfires as they did up here after the 1957 #bushfires. And now they have bloomed again. A rare event. Over sixty years later. And only in certain parts of the landscape. There are swathes off delicate pink amongst the regrowth. I can’t express how it gladdens my heart to see them, the simply joy and delight. The fires were devastating and had a huge impact on the Blue Mountains community. It seems as if the pink flannel flowers are the flush of joy the earth is signalling after the nourishment of rain and comfort of the world this year is returning to a better balance after the past trauma of the #fires #uppermountains #ruthlecheminant #ruthloadedbrush #ruthbluemts

The Gardens of Stone a work by Anne Graham on at @penrithregionalgallery Worth a visit to check out. And as Anne quotes Charles Darwin ‘Nature which is a power incessantly ready for action and is immeasurably superior to man’s feeble efforts as the works of nature are to those of Art’. #art #artexhibition #penrithregionalgallery #blankets #thegardensofstone #bluemountains #aboriginal #charlesdarwin #reliefsculpture #layers #colours #valleys #artwork #artinspiration #ruthlecheminant #ruthloadedbrush #ruthbluemts
