home away from home
"Home Paintings' and 'home away
from home'
My home my womb my nest for twenty years--yet to move to the valley: to nest
there. A wish unable to happen or just waiting to happen. To paint it out
to paint it in. To close off the world to start all over there or to close
off the dream to start all over here.
'home away from home' 5 paintings
w/curtains. 8 x 4 feet---looking for 5 homes in the area to housesit the 'homes.'
Must have 8 1/2 foot ceilings. Can you homesit a 'home'? Due to a sluggish
economy these 'homes' may be placed on the market. Please contact my realtors.
2000 per acre.
