This masterpiece is "The Red Room" (Harmony In Red): by Henri Matisse 1908. Now I know we all can't travel to Russia but Internet surfing has brought ART right into our homes. This extraordinary oil painting is held at the State Hermitage Museum. Now with the click of a button you can see the whole Matisse Room, which is in the Winter Palace on the Second Floor. They hold many masterpieces there and let me tell you they really have amassed quite a collection. If indeed you do have a spare few minutes why not check it out?

The Day Begins Quietly....
Early Sunday morn, yes i have put on the dishwasher and also washing machine....All background noise instead of the rain that was falling yesterday. The rain appears to have stopped, outside the driveway is dry and we are back to cold dry weather as opposed to cold wet weather in Melbourne....
Just wanted to share today some real RED today!
