I love things that are old....old houses! old furniture/Vintage! But I am on the road so I don't have access to pics and things from all the years I have been doing this....I have some fun amazing before and afters...but alas..they are packed up in the archives... The lap top I am writing from is a Lil over a year old. So today I went through my pics... to see if there was ANYTHING...I could share.
I found a pic of our first home! The Farm house I fell in love with. I painted this pic for my husband long ago...It is what the farm house looked like before we did anything to it!
It had a wonderful long driveway. Old box elder tree's. some fruit tree's and huge lilac bushes. The irrigation creek ran threw the front of the property. It was only a 1 bedroom, 1 bath home..and we were a family of 5 full time and 7 part time. There was no porch in front. and it had a wonderful old country kitchen. with windows that swung inwards....but I fell in love....
This a closer up of the painting. and even tho I am not a artist in this sense. In this one painting I captured out farm house pretty darn well! The rolling hills you see are the east side of the Bitter root Valley in Montana. if I would of painted the west...you would have seen the Gorgeous Bitter root mountain range!
This pic was taken in the evening. It shows just how beautiful this valley is. In my next post I will share some of my favorite Montana pics. But for now...I am sighing over blogs with old homes...before and after pics...vintage things...and I dream for that day...I have a old home...once again :)

Thanks Bella! I think it was one of those deals...were I thought I could..and then did! But not really on my personal venues of talents! Question? if you dont mind me asking? how do you get your name on your photographs? Loved seeing you here :)
DeleteBeautiful painting- it looks like a lovely place. I can see why you miss it. Love your header pic!
ReplyDeleteOh, Peggy - your painting is simply beautiful! You are extremely talented and creative! "And I dream for the day I have an old home again." The last line of your post. Isn't it wonderful when dreams come true?
