I loved this house the second I laid eyes on it in Gaitersburg, MD about a year ago .. then, I wanted to save it for St. Patrick's Day and instead let the day fly right by me 😛 So after making it this far towards this coming St. Patrick's Day I've decided I'm not taking any chances and posting it anyway in honor of two things 1) green is my favorite color, and 2) green is Pantone's Color of the Year for 2017. So why not? Plus it's just a great house with so much fun going on in the yard 🤗💕.. . #turtlesartfulart #turtlesartfulhouses #9vaga_members9 #9vaga_house9 #9vaga_colorgreen9 #9vaga_doorswindows9 #ig_addicts_members #ig_addicts_weekly #portasejanelas #united_team_usa #loves_united_team #housestalking #united_shotz #kings_doorsandco #kings_shots #kings_hdr #butterfly_hdr #lucky_hdr #total_houses #streets_and_houses #houses_ofthe_world #doorsandwindows_one #icu_doorsandwindows #popyacolor #jj_hdrpics #jj_unitedstates #jj_doorsandwindows #jj_indetail (at Gaithersburg, Maryland)

I feel the same way about Georgetown as I do about Fredrick,MD ~ it's a can't miss if you're looking for houses with history and character ~ and most of all for me I look for color 😍. I love this small red house ♥️♥️ and I kept the beautiful brick house next to it because although not as colorful, it doesn't compete with its neighbor in that category because it doesn't have to ~ it has way too many other redeeming qualities all on its own (e.g., that it's a large classic brick colonial house with lots of curb appeal and character, and from the looks of it on the outside it's a well-maintained property and house). I love them both for different reasons and would gladly live in either one! 😍😍 . #turtlesartfulhouses #9vaga_members9 #ig_addicts_weekly #bestusapics #igw_street #igworldclub_hdr #loves_united_team #kings_shots #kings_alltags #tv_doorsandwindows #icu_doorsandwindows #be_one_doorsandwindows #ig_globalclubhdr #igglobalwomenclub #lucky_hdr #butterfly_hdr #9vaga_house9 #9vaga_colorred9 #houses_of_the_world #beautifulhousesoldandnew #be_one_houses #total_houses #jj_editors #jj_indetail #jj_unitedstates #jj_hdrpics #jj_streetshots (at Georgetown, DC)

This is a window located in the front facade of The Pinnacle, in Germantown, MD. I took the photo in December 2016 and then edited it and digitally painted it. . #turtlesartfulart #turtlesartfulwindows #9vaga_members9 #ig_addicts_members #ig_addicts_weekly #ig_shotz #fx_hdr #ig_world #loves_united_usa #loves_united_team #kings_shots #kings_alltags #kings_hdr #tv_living #pocket_family #pocket_usa #lucky_hdr #butterfly_hdr #9vaga_colorred9 #9vaga_doorswindows9 #9vaga_house9 #doorsandwindows_one #windowsonly #windowsanddoors_aroundtheworld #windowsanddoors #portasejanelas #janelas (at Pinnacle Town Center)

Llllithis photo is something I came up with afterwards (1/11) while trying to find ways to cover the bruising in photos AND show both my grandsons my new haircut!

Self-portrait. Just got a short bob haircut ~ that's the bottom of it 1" below the bottom of my ear! Can't say as I've cut my hair this short since elementary school when my Mom would say it was time to go downtown to the corner beauty salon to cut it into a pixie cut in the summer-time ツ. . #turtlesartfulart #9vaga_9 #9vaga_members9 #9vaga_selfies9 #ig_shutterbugs #worldofartists #digitalpainting #digitalwatercolor #digitalwatercolorpainting #pocket_family #pocket_selfies #kings_alltags #kings_hdr #kings_selfie #kings_portraits #bestusapics #fx_hdr #ig_addicts_membersonly #ig_addicts_weekly #ig_world #igw_portrait #jj_portrait #tv_living #jj_editors #jj_indetail (at Germantown, Maryland)

This is a house on Montgomery Ave. in Rockville MD that I took a photo of about a week or so ago ~ I believe Christmas week one evening (2016). Then I digitally enhanced it using coloring techniques and painting apps, blending until I achieved what I liked best. . #turtlesartfulart #turtlesartfulhouses #digitalpainting #digitalwatercolor #montgomeryrd #rockvillemd #houses_ofthe_world #housestalker #oldhouse #oldhouselove #houseportrait #reddoor #9vaga_house9 #9vaga_members9 #9vaga_doorswindows9 #ig_addicts_weekly #ig_addicts_membersonly #bestusapics #kings_hdr #kings_shots #kings_doorsandco #archi_ologie #fx_hdr #IG_world #total_houses #streets_and_houses #la_houses (at Rockville, Maryland)

Until going through some of my photos from my trip to Chicago this past September I had almost forgotten about this beautiful front entrance in Evanston, Illinois.. . #turtlesartfulart #watercolordigitalpainting #9vaga_member9 #ig_addictsmembersonly #ig_addicts_weekly #pocket_family #pocket_usa #loves_united_team #loves_united_usa #kings_shots #kings_alltags #bestusapics #9vaga_house9 #oldhouses #houses_ofthe_world #beautifulhousesoldandnew #la_houses #housestalker #streets_and_houses #houseportrait #curbappeal . #sundoors #doorsandwindows_one #9vaga_doorswindows9 #kings_hdr #butterfly_hdr #fx_hdr #lucky_hdr (at Evanston, Illinois)

I've of course done paintings of Lily before and recently one of our other dog Charlie and Lily ~ but this one is a little different. About 6 weeks ago she was accidentally clawed in her right eye by a much larger dog ~ very innocently ~ the other dog just lifted her paw as she usually does to play. It was just one of those freak things where it hit exactly wrong and pulled her eye out. We rushed her to the Vet and she had some surgery to put it back in place and they stitched her eye shut and gave us very little hope she'd be able to see out of that eye again. Soon afterward we realized she was bumping into corners and walls and acting like she couldn't see anything at all. At her checkup visit the vet said sometimes when one eye's nerve in the back is damaged it also effects the other eye. He gave us some anti-inflammatory meds and said sometimes that kind of thing gets better over time, but he verified for us that she is blind in both eyes. . As of now ~ after having her stitches out ~ she still can't see a thing but is adapting pretty well considering. This picture is one of many I've taken as I've been documenting her recovery - I think she looks pretty good although there is a slight bit of bruising under the eye. . #turtlesartfulart #mydog #digitalart #digitalpainting #digitalwatercolor #digitalwatercolorpainting #9vaga_members9 #9vaga_world9 #9vaga_edit9 #jj_welovepets #jj_dogs #turtlesartfuldogs #dogs_of_instagram #dogscorner #shihtzusofinstagram #shihtzulovers #shihtzusofinstagramusa #kings_shots #kings_hdr #lucky_hdr #be_one_hdr #jj_hdr #jj_hdrpics #hdrart #hdrartsoftheday #ig_addicts_membersonly #fx_hdr (at Germantown, Maryland)

I'm pulling out some fav photos I took on various trips to Chicago - this one was taken on N. Rogers Ave.. I have always admired this apartment building for its extra detail and Deco style. I believe that's what it is - all my expert friends please affirm the style or correct me I'd love to know for sure since I've really just begun to learn about architecture in the last several years from you all. I have all kinds of other fairly useless information (at least now) stored in my head ~ unfortunately I wasn't schooled in architecture ~ agriculture yes, business yes but architecture sadly, no. But as they say it's never too late right? . #chicagogram #streetphoto #9vaga_world9 #9vaga_members9 #9vaga_urban9 #9vaga_house9 #vscogood #kings_shots #kings_alltags #kings_hubs #kings_streets #streets_oftheworld windows_aroundtheworld #windowsoftheworld #windowsaroundtheworld #archi_ologie #pocket_usa #best_shotz #icu_doorsandwindows #loves_united_usa #bestusapics #ig_addicts_membersonly #ig_addicts_weekly #houses_ofthe_world #jj_detail #jj_street #ig_streetphotography (at Chicago, Illinois)

This is another photo I took from the car window riding along Montgomery Ave. in Rockville, MD. This one just last Wednesday ~ does that qualify it for #windowswednesday even though today is Monday? I hope so. I did did a real watercolor HDR hybrid on this one and I think it turned out kinda cool! 💓 . #turtlesartfulart #turtlesartfulhouses #turtlesartfulwindows #digitalpaintings #9vaga9 #9vaga_members9 #9vaga_house9 #9vaga_windows9 #LA_HOUSES #archi_ologie #igw_windows #jj_doorsandwindows #tv_allwindows #ir_doorsandwindows #windows_aroundtheworld #windowsaroundtheworld #windowsoftheworld #windowsanddoors #kings_hdr #lucky_hdr #fx_hdr #ig_addicts_membersonly #ig_addicts_weekly #ig_mycity #loves_united_team #loves_windows #loves_windowsandco #kings_shots (at Rockville, Maryland)

This is a unique house I happened to snap while driving past when we were in Chicago in May. It's three stories tall and I obviously didn't quite catch the top of it :/ .. But to me the door and windows were the more interesting part of the house.. . #turtlesartfulart #turtlesartfulhouses #turtlesartfulwindows #9vaga_members9 #ig_addicts_membersonly #fx_hdr #chi_cityshots #lucky_hdr #houses_ofthe_world #housesunday #kings_doorsandco #kings_hdr #ir_doorsandwindows #tv_hdr #loves_doorsandwindows #doorsofdistinction #doorsondoors #windows_aroundtheworld #windowsoftheworld #windowsaroundtheworld #windowshot #windowlove #archi_ologie #architecture (at Chicago, Illinois)

A couple of weekends ago we had a chance to go plant shopping at our local Home Depot with our daughter and then go back to her house and pot-up our porch boxes to bring home (since it was easier to spread out and leave the mess at her house heh-heh). This particular plant - is a variegated hasta plant I believe (someone correct me if you know better) and is one Lindsay chose, so since it didn't come home with us .. I took a photo of it and digitally painted it .. ツ . #turtlesartfulart #digitalpainting #digitalwatercolor #digitalwatercolorpainting #fauna #florayfauna #9vaga_flowersart9 #9vaga_colors9 #9vaga_members9 #9vaga_flowers9 #9vaga_colorgreen9 #ig_addicts_membersonly #fx_hdr #kings_shots #kings_hdr #kings_flora #kings_flowers #loves_flowers #lucky_hdr #loves_hdr #loves_hdr_colour #tv_lifestyle #pocket_usa #pocket_family #pocket_pretty #pocket_allnature #jj_naturelovers (at Rockville, Maryland)
