quietness has crept into every corner of this wee house
just old bear & me. . . . a little too quiet . . 
for my two have been far away avisiting
perhaps that is why i was inspired to do "the hug"below!
i have moved my own studio about (again)

i have moved my own studio about (again)
but oops i didnt do my back much good . . . 
leaving my lovely mom to paint the "red-den" studio
& put up the hanging rails & dad to lay the new floor!
(photos to follow very soon)
at last i began working on some of my "family tree" ideas
so fascinated by geneology & tracing lines far back into history
names of folks long forgotten patiently waiting to be found
but, oh i could do with a little help, please if you could...

Hi ruthie,
ReplyDeleteYour artwork is very beautiful indeed! Magical, vivid and thought provoking. Your style feels very personal. I also like the texts and reflections a lot.
Thanks for leaving a nice comment on my blog. :)
I enjoy quiet time and enjoyed a wee bit of quiet time with you.
ReplyDeleteI love your paintings, old bear is gorgeus!
ReplyDeletegood luck with the family tree my husbands uncle does a lot of that, he has gone years back on his side.

The Hug is so beautiful! I do love your work. Wish I could be there for the big opening!!
ReplyDeleteAww, I love the bear, Ruthie. And your family tree idea is interesting.
ReplyDeleteYou take care - 'think back'.
Oh wow, that family tree is incredible!
ReplyDeleteHi Ruthie. Your old bear is gorgeous! I'm quite partial to the odd bear, a favourite of mine and he has such character! What a great way to show and discover your family tree. Happy searching! Hugs xx
ReplyDeleteRuthie, my God I love it.
ReplyDeleteI am shocked you have kids that age. I had Angelique when I was just about to turn 20 and I look like a total crone.
You are gorgeous Ruthie.
Love Renee xoxo

Soulbrush - i am very lucky, and as yet i have never done any ACT's, but i would love too! (though i have to admit this is all very new to me, could you explain a little more, please)
Bears just have something special about them, don't they?
ReplyDeleteMy little guy loves his bears best - and right now he has fuzzy bear, brown bear, wooly bear and curly bear. They all sleep with him :)
It melts my heart. *sigh*

Such a fantastic idea, I love the way you have designed this tree, very musical!
ReplyDeleteMy two art muses are Jane DesRosier and Sarah Kiser. Sarah is on my side bar to link to her blog. Both names will come up in the search engine.
Hope you have a great tour, they are fabulous artists.
Have a great day and thank you so much for your messages, they are always lovely to read!
There is nothing confusing about your family tree, only charm and beauty. Hug is wonderful too. Hope your back feels well soon!
ReplyDeleteHello From Michigan. I love the design of your family tree. I do not find it confusing at all. I also love your painting and your new garden pathway. I am soon to start a pathway soon too. Yours has inspired me. Hugs Judy In rainy Michigan
