The Alpha Xi Delta house sits on 5th Ave. across from the Student Union. It’s special to me: It’s a magnificent building, which still stands on Fifth Avenue across from the Student Union.

#6 30/30 Challenge
I’m really glad I’m painting 30 paintings in 30 days, I really regret committing to posting them. It’s like posting my diary entries for the world to read. Oh well. Here’s #6. When I was a senior in high school, we moved across the street from the Stutlers; they lived in this house. I’ve lovedContinue reading “#6 30/30 Challenge”

#4 “Home Sweet Home…Almost”
“Home Sweet Home…Almost” I’ve driven by this fire house probably 1000 times, but this time I was on a mission: with camera in tow, I was looking for “picture-worthy-Huntington-buildings”. And when I saw the grill and garden… I knew I would be painting this place. Thanks for following along, Linda

The houses,Continue reading “Painting #3… 30/30 Challenge”

Today, the building houses Huntington Junior College, and the current Cabell County Downtown Library built in 1980 is across the street. Thanks for following along, Linda
30/30…Painting #1
The little fence had me at hello. As soon as I saw this house I knew I was painting it. Built in the 60’s when I was a child, this house was near Sandy’s house. She and I played together, rode bikes together, highlighted one another’s hair… (we always laughed off the disastrous results)… Sandy lived in oneContinue reading “30/30…Painting #1”
