I have always dreamed of doing this. My husband was a draftsman and has designed several houses but they just didn’t have everything that I wanted. He’s a practical man and cost has to be included price/sq footage to build it. I would love a house built that had an inner courtyard(private)with a small pool and gardens, have a 2nd story balcony where you could watch the sunset and another balcony where you can see the sunrise too. I could go on & on but I’ll leave here for now.

I participated in art classes in high school and beyond but I never got the ‘hang’ of creating paintings. I would love to be able to paint something that isn’t flat that is full of light and color. I love Impressionism. I also like the vibrant colors of some painters. Like the one included here. I am determined to learn with the kind help of a friend.
I grew up north of NYC. My parents would take us to the city before Christmas to see the beautiful window displays. When I was in junior high school our art teacher would take us down to the city to visit the art galleries and museums.
My last visit was to Ellis Island with my sister and daughter. Three of my grandparents entered the US via Ellis Island.
