This blog is about a very special painting.

As some of you know, I had the opportunity to spend a little time

in the Tallahassee area in May of 2011.

While I was driving around in the town where our brother Joey lived,

I came upon a little shack of a cottage in the woods.

It is located right there on main street where you get off of Interstate 10

going into Joey's little town of Loyd, Florida.

For some reason I was completely taken with this little falling down shack.

I went back to it three times in two trips to Tallahassee

and took photos each time.

I suppose it was my way of having a little piece of my brother Joey
without having to go back to his house again.

I did go to Joey's house once during that visit to Tallahassee.

After Betti and Tim asked me to go back again and try to find our
sister n law, I found it too painful for me to return.
So instead I drove around looking for very old houses to photograph.

And of course to find a few more memories of some of my times
spent with Joey in Lloyd before he died.

This one really struck me. Like I said, I went back three times
for photographs

Well . . .Some of you know that I currently spend a great deal
of my time painting pictures.

This little shack was a Must to paint and because it took me a very long time to complete I am so anxious and proud, I could go no longer without sharing my story with all of you.

I have received so much personal enjoyment in painting this shack.

I hope that you all can enjoy it a little as well.

To me it will always be this little shack I stumbled across while looking for memories of my time spent with my brother Joey.

Enjoy!!!
