House + Love = Home. 
​
This home belongs to my uncle and his lovely wife who commissioned this watercolor painting as a gift to him. (Now that the gift has been given I can post it!)

My new year's resolution for 2016 has to do with my home.  I hope to increase my expression of love for nature by improving the way my home harmonizes with the environment. This includes conducting an energy audit (at the EPA's Home Energy Yardstick) to see how I can decrease our carbon footprint, improving our windows, expanding the garden and maybe even installing solar panels!!!

Happy 2016 Everyone!!! I wish you many blessings in the new year!

So well done. I was inspired. I felt a yearning for protection from the cold; of a house sad to leave and glad to have; of homes lost, had and remembered. So well done. Thank you

Hi Julia,

I just took a couple moments to look through some of paintings over the last few months. Lovely. The Little Aloe is a cutie.

I feel as if I know this house. Are you at liberty to give the address?

How are your mom and your uncle Tom? Please send them my warm regards!

Hope Josh and your kids are happy and well. How old is my blond-haired buddy boy, Dylan? I still have him stuck in my memory as a sweet 2 year old!

Thanks! Everyone is well. The house is in Jenkintown, but the Abington township part near Alverthorpe. You probably do know it!
