I know your response to Monaro - it is SO right isn't it? Mine is to "Suddenly the Lake" - a glimpse of Lake George thru hills before they moved the road. As a student in Sydney driving back and forth to Canberra, that scene always grabbed me - and she nailed it.<br /><br />Robyn - so true, there is much about her and her work that inspires and encourages. The teapot would have many tales and one I think is that it went thru a fire - but what of its time before that I think? Who held it and used it and shared tea from it?<br /><br />Jo - Yes, she's a real star!Fiona Dempsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09275413906419343228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8070917680632622858.post-30916663298744284272011-11-20T04:32:37.531+10:002011-11-20T04:32:37.531+10:00Rosalie is an absolute icon in Australian art.

So many of her quotes give one encouragement. <br />And another quote I am enjoying ...
