#9 30/30 Challenge

OMGosh… This is the most intriguing house in Huntington, don’t you think? It sits at the end of Edison Dr. on Washington Blvd. It seems to meander for a mile on a magnificent tree-filled lawn. I would LOVE to see inside. Maybe it will be on the Christmas House Tour this year… I hope so:)Continue reading “#9 30/30 Challenge”

#8 30/30 Challenge

  Love this little coffee shop on 4th Ave… Have you been there? The smells are amazing. ∗∗∗∗∗ You may have noticed my paintings are quite different from one another… not only in the subject matter, but also in the painting style. I’m trying different techniques, and sometimes, I’m not so happy with the results.Continue reading “#8 30/30 Challenge”

# 7 30/30 Challenge

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. And I was a member of this sorority, where I made some beautiful friendships, Lastly my great uncle, Uncle Ed, a sheetContinue reading “# 7 30/30 Challenge”

#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.

#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

Painting #3… 30/30 Challenge

I call it Blue House on Mortimer Place. If you’re not familiar with it, Mortimer Place is a U-shaped street entered from 12th Ave, just one block over from Ritter Park. Probably eight houses in all, they steadfastly guard the inside of the U where one can discover stone benches, flower beds, and little tables and chairs. The houses,Continue reading “Painting #3… 30/30 Challenge”

Painting #2 30/30 Challenge

An example of Beaux Arts Classicism, Carnegie Public Library in downtown Huntington, was the first public library in Cabell County. Andrew Carnegie gave $35,000 towards its construction in 1902-1903. 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
