Thank You JR Sirotta for patiently answering all our questions! Our 20 year old Amana (an original Amana before Whirlpool bought them) finally bit the dust. I also finally found a garage that still does bodywork. Actual rust repair! Not easy to find these days.

Linda was a Donecker Girl when we met. If you knew the store you understand what this means. She worked there in the late 70's early 80's. and there was a fun core of young people in their early 20's working that are still friends today.

It is simple subjects that intrigue me.<br /><br />We both enjoy cruising. Chilling all day, I paint, Linda reads and entertainment all night . We often do not even get off the ship. We have toured many of the islands in the past. Usually we leave out of NY and this time we left out of Miami. I missed sailing past the Statue of Liberty! The ship was very much geared to Latin music. Our first (and last) cruise in March. Lots of kids and lots of 20 yr olds on spring break, very few wheel chairs and walkers. A different experience. We were both so careful washing hands and using sanitizer and we still brought home a bad cold/cough. Linda is worse, she has a doctor appointment. Tested negative for Covid but it is a nasty strain.</div>Andy Smith, artist ~ watercolorshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02905800317823524385noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3241154755069713435.post-16586621450103646472024-03-12T19:00:00.005-04:002024-03-17T16:37:50.003-04:002024 Coconut Tree<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdPdX9R6qG9Cywd1AjV38r39ytzLaCVumAwlBdauGxMYScRnFNXHJdcMddzUH5tskiMomWSIR77O0iYXwvWEj56dgtdTMksLTcOv9BeGVK4pJXqR5b3K5C41PZDPbhfZGjdvuQluJ5_j8Eb-1y3yYglSpVrW40BwFLfdQlCYpKTFm7iY33_yjppILCXUY/s2957/3%2012%2024.jpg"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdPdX9R6qG9Cywd1AjV38r39ytzLaCVumAwlBdauGxMYScRnFNXHJdcMddzUH5tskiMomWSIR77O0iYXwvWEj56dgtdTMksLTcOv9BeGVK4pJXqR5b3K5C41PZDPbhfZGjdvuQluJ5_j8Eb-1y3yYglSpVrW40BwFLfdQlCYpKTFm7iY33_yjppILCXUY/w260-h400/3%2012%2024.jpg" width="260" /></a><br />mini original watercolor $225.<br /><br />Coconut tree.<br /><br />Our 1st stop is Roatan.

January was the opening of Glendale Flour Mills (antiques) and we decided to go. They are open 2 days a month. It is a good hour drive. Linda said, should we take the suburban. I said NO, we are not buying anything that big and I think we should set a limit of $150. She may have rolled her eyes, I'm not sure! So, we go and right inside the door is a beautiful painted pie safe. I fell in love. I measured it and it will not fit. Believe me I tried. May have been more eye rolling... I offered to come back for it but Linda was saying no. We get home and decided to sell 2 benches to make room. Here is where I say our daughter is after us to work on downsizing... and we have tried. 2 pieces went out the door and only one came in. That's downsizing, right? Anyway the Mill was open last week for February, we called and it was still there, meant to be right? We may be getting a bit tooo old to be lifting but we got it in and it is perfect.</span><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSBUFMImi1G7qGun7635HlaDqAg3FRWCdByzcBanDaq8PoCcBqMhsA4aU8F3wQQF2PXgEhNiBZfK8BNKPVjDGvtKpxRw3c3bdPYccm-mmD7wXdb5SLt11TjK_gkS4O9ci-zpeoCramlzjZRAeyN40vgEGfaij3pCDoLyzTtJ0f6y4VNwVKaDvMe9H-Etw/s1920/thumbnail_IMG_6469.jpg"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSBUFMImi1G7qGun7635HlaDqAg3FRWCdByzcBanDaq8PoCcBqMhsA4aU8F3wQQF2PXgEhNiBZfK8BNKPVjDGvtKpxRw3c3bdPYccm-mmD7wXdb5SLt11TjK_gkS4O9ci-zpeoCramlzjZRAeyN40vgEGfaij3pCDoLyzTtJ0f6y4VNwVKaDvMe9H-Etw/w300-h400/thumbnail_IMG_6469.jpg" width="300" /></a><br /><br />Andy Smith, artist ~ watercolorshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02905800317823524385noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3241154755069713435.post-78403943485832144572024-02-11T19:00:00.004-05:002024-02-13T16:12:45.043-05:002024 Still Life #6<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjt82TFxgef-PR-mopFfGQcZQHdgX6CoCDUg686qr5BzMG7Ts9hNGEoZ9uSIzvo8wBJZ3n8R3XVRnCm2oWN6thQLVAuCJLlksv5C00I_MqRwRs00JMCvVkDu5mqUgjWdeF_zTLkHGUE5HNEoRaFer0k5rUEn3YVKWE3DjacN_XeSFXbc10J_TFtq-PybCU/s2695/IMG_9751.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1775" data-original-width="2695" height="264" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjt82TFxgef-PR-mopFfGQcZQHdgX6CoCDUg686qr5BzMG7Ts9hNGEoZ9uSIzvo8wBJZ3n8R3XVRnCm2oWN6thQLVAuCJLlksv5C00I_MqRwRs00JMCvVkDu5mqUgjWdeF_zTLkHGUE5HNEoRaFer0k5rUEn3YVKWE3DjacN_XeSFXbc10J_TFtq-PybCU/w400-h264/IMG_9751.jpeg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">mini original watercolor $225</span></div><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br />Another perfect still life from Glendale Flour Mills.<br />Tomorrow I will share a story about our trip or two to the Mill.<br /><br />Commission Update: (scroll back to 2/5 for the beginning)<br />Saturday I worked on this commission all day while the studio was open.
