 mini original watercolor  $225.

Check out these clouds...I worked HARD to get these clouds the way I wanted them to FEEL!

As you know, I often struggle with clouds but these...
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!

I was working on this lamp at the Trappe show, finished it this past week and sold it yesterday.  It looks really good.  Your eye is drawn to the sunlight first then wanders over to the glass lamp.  I have several days work on just the glass.  I would not change a thing!

Over the weekend we lost an amazing cat, Smudge. If you ever visited, you were greeted by him. In fact he probably would not let you alone! He was super social. He lived to18 years. 14 with us, he picked us from the Humane League. He had a full, wonderful, spoiled life. He will be greatly missed.

A plate on a table...

Monday...I got in a nice bike ride this morning! Did the first mow of the season.  The grass (well, weeds!) were getting too unruly to ignore.  Painted the rest of the day.   Linda started her morning in the kitchen making baked oatmeal and meatloaf.  Then she was glued to her desk all day.  On the phone forever, trying to confirm travel insurance with our charge card.  We watched an interesting, disturbing documentary on Netflix,  Plastic Detox.

A beautiful pottery bowl with a striking pattern.

I am truly at a loss for words.  A long time friend passed away suddenly.  I am still in a bit of shock.  We had plans to ride bike together in Spring.  Blessed to have known Jerry since our kids were in Middle School.  We shared lots of track time, great conversations and he was one of my walkers during my Cancer treatments. 

Jerry, you will be missed.  Click here for his obit.

2026 Still Life #6

mini original watercolor $225.
I saw this while visiting Pottsgrove Manor in Pottstown PA.  I have never seen candles on a chair rail.  The marks on the wall were marks from the candle burning.  I don't know how they did not cause a fire.  I found it interesting.

This was a request from Linda, a special microphone from Sun Studio in Memphis. It turned out better than I thought and I really got into the challenge of painting it.  It sparks memories, I can imagine news broadcasters sitting behind it, every disk jockey from my old favorite radio stations...

Commission Update:

Adding a background, giving some distance, planting her feet and adding some shadows.



Working on the sky.  Whatever I do, SHE must be the focal point.

mini original watercolor  $225.
A view from the Edward Morgan Log House.


Commission Update:
Hands and a shoe and starting a background.
I think she is finished!



Working on the underpainting for the background.
I am improvising here, the photo I am working from has a car and a house in the background and my client does not want that in.  I gave a horizon line and I need to plant her feet.  She is the focal point.

I have a few Complimentary Entry tickets to the show on the 28th in Trappe, PA.  Send an email if you would like some.
