This beautiful Landscape is the countryside of Ireland.



This Saturday, I am HERE!  Its FREE. Stop out



As we have been going through boxes stored in the attic, Linda found two sets of Abbeys baby shoes.  She was struggling with throwing them out.  So she threw out one of each and put succulents in each.  Turned out pretty cute.  They will last a while.


We also had a date night, went to hear Leonid and Friends, my favorite band.  Take a few minutes and click on the name and listen.  They are fantastic.

2026 Still Life #17


mini original watercolor  $225.
A candle with a snuffer from Stratford Hall. 


We have been BUSY here at the Smith house. Linda decided it's time to clean out 47 years of "stuff". If you follow me on Facebook you probably have seen items posted. We are trying not to throw anything away but to rehome it all. That takes more time and some effort. Over the weekend we hired two really great local boys to empty the attic. Over the years we managed to get it all up there...BUT getting it all down seemed too much. The boys were so good.  This is want an attic in an 1800's house looks like!

Now everything is either in our Living room or out on the porch!  Linda is making huge progress; gone are blankets, a sewing machine, stuffed animals, toys and old dolls, bed rails, a dresser and a 3pc furniture set!  Plus smaller items laid out on our sidewalk.  Feels pretty good to have this done.  BUT I cannot get too comfortable...the basement is next!

Usually we rent an Air BnB but this time we stayed at the The Williamsburg White House Inn.  Beautiful Inn, well appointed with great staff.  Excellent breakfast.  They even packed a to go breakfast on our show morning.  Its about 1 mile from Historic Williamsburg.

Our show on Sunday was COLD!  thankfully we threw in jackets and honestly could have used gloves!  But at least the rain stopped.
