 "The more one does and sees and feels, the more one is able to do, and the more genuine may be one’s appreciation of fundamental things like home, and love, and understanding companionship." Amelia Earhart 
 
 What a wonderful quote to go with this posting.  I actually lived near Amelia Earhart's child home, where she was raised by her grandparent's during the winter months.  It is in Atchison, Kansas.  I was living in Leavenworth, Kansas, at Fort Leavenworth at the time, when I learned about her home and where she grew up. You can take a tour of the home and learn a lot of interesting facts about her childhood.

I have completed the Alberta Street series! I have one series left to make into a complete series.  It is the Stars in July painted houses. 
I will work on those the next three days and then start some new house series.
 
I think I have found a location for my show this winter...more to come on the details!  Very exciting!
If you have not yet reserved your painted house, you still have time, although many are spoken for! Thank you to all who have reserved a house!

Hi!
 
I am working on completing the Alberta Street series.
I hope you enjoy house #158!  This series was inspired by the neighborhood I lived in, in Portland, Oregon. If you ever get a chance to visit; it is a whimsical, funky, artsy, and vibrant community with lots to explore.
Check back on Monday to see three more painted houses in this Alberta Street series.  I don't post houses on the weekend...but I can't wait to share with you on Monday.

House #105 - Alberta Street 2

A Painted House A Day
House #105
Alberta Street 2

This quote is very interesting to me and really makes me think. With all my moves and different homes I have lived in I think this quote certainly holds some relevance.

"Some people say home is where you come from.  But I think its a place you need to find, like it's scattered and you pick pieces of it up along the way. "
