My Neighbor's House

Painting by daughter Chelle

Last night was a birthday celebration at  a neighbor's house.  I love to go to their house because it's so much fun!  Virg was a record producer and produced 60 some records.  Joan is a house wife who is warm, personable, cooks fantastically and is very "artsy".  An invitation to their house always promises to be with an interesting, "eclectic" group of people.  This time it was with a group of beloved neighbors. 

 Windchimes are by an artist named Dr.  Seus ( ?)

 Their house is a step back in time full of art work and records.  You can see in this pic that the views are wonderful too...much better in the spring, summer and fall than now...but stellar nontheless.

 This painting was by daughter Chelle....I think.

 I love this one over the fireplace too, done by an artist (obviously) not one of the family.














View from the deck....creek down hill below.

 View out the front window...

 Painting in the den...I think Virg did this one.

 Not even sure who painted these....Joan told me ...there is so much art that I am not adding and I can't remember it all.  It's worth showing though because it's so amazing to see!!

 I think Virg did the one on the right...

 and this one in the kitchen is by Joan!  She did it on tile.

 This, in the kitchen,  is by a famous primitive artist friend.

 And the black and white is by Virg, far corner with hat on.  We all gather at a large dining table and the conversation is the best part!

Our house is down a path from theirs, you can hardly see it for the trees....down the path and through the woods....from a really terrific time!!
