In Thomas Jefferson's original design of the Capitol Building, the Rotunda was a two-story central space, which he called a "conference room", and included a balcony supported by enormous columns, a large skylight and a space in the center for a marble sculpture of George Washington. Samuel Dobie, the actual builder of the Capitol, adjusted Jefferson's plans by placing the balcony on brackets rather than using columns. While Jefferson made no reference to a dome in his first written description of the Rotunda, a dome was added to the building in 1794, six years after it was first occupied. The 30-foot dome in the Rotunda is directly under an exterior skylight on the gable roof. Whether adding the dome was a later idea of Jefferson's or another modification made by Samuel Dobie remains unknown. The artwork in the four corners of the ceiling near the base of the dome shows alternating depictions of the Virginia State Seal and a Roman fasces, a bundle of rods tied around the shaft of an axe, which was used by the ancient Romans to symbolize unity and civic authority.
It is known that Jefferson intended for a statue of Washington to be placed in the center of the Rotunda. A magnificent life-size marble statue of George Washington stands under an interior dome in the two-story Rotunda, located in the central portion of the Capitol. In June 1784, the Virginia General Assembly commissioned this statue "of the finest marble and best workmanship" as a tribute to Virginia's most respected citizen-soldier. Governor Benjamin Harrison wrote to Thomas Jefferson, who was serving on a diplomatic mission in Paris, requesting that he engage a sculptor. Jefferson secured the services of Jean-Antoine Houdon, a noted French sculptor. In the fall of 1785, just as Charles-Louis Clérisseau was completing the plans for the Capitol, Houdon insisted on visiting Mount Vernon to study George Washington. During a two-week stay in October 1785, he made a plaster mask of Washington's face, took detailed measurements of his body, and modeled a terra cotta bust. The original terra cotta bust is at Mount Vernon, and the mask is at the Pierpont Morgan Library in New York.
The statue, sculpted in France from fine Carrara marble, bears Houdon's signature and the date 1788. As Virginia's Capitol was under construction when the statue was completed, shipment to America was delayed until the building was ready. In the interim, it was exhibited at the Louvre in Paris. Three cases containing the statue and pedestal were shipped from France in January 1796 and arrived in Richmond in early May. The statue was erected in the Rotunda on May 14, 1796. It still stands on the spot it was placed and has been on nearly continuous display since 1796.
The statue was viewed by many of Washington's contemporaries, all of whom attested that it was a perfect likeness. "The general was received at the capital, built in imitation of the square house of Nimes, and welcomed in a speech by Chief Justice Marshall, in presence of the civil and military officers, and a vast concourse of citizens." (Levasseur, A. Lafayette in America in 1824 and 1825; or Journal of a Voyage to the United States. Translated by John D. Godman, M.D. Philadelphia: Carey and Lea, 1829. Originally published as Lafayette en Amerique, en 1824 et 1825, ou Journal d'Un Voyage aux Etas Unis (Paris: Houdaille et Veniger, 1829).) Lafayette said "the statue was 'a fac similie of Washington's person.'" (McRae, Sherwin. The Houdon Statue, Its History and Value. Senate of Virginia, 1878.)
Dramatic natural lighting on the statue is achieved by the skylights in the Rotunda's ceiling. Houdon's statue alludes to the similarities between Washington and the ancient Roman general Cincinnatus who, when Rome no longer needed him, gave up his military power and returned to the simple life of a farmer. The artist carefully balanced the military and civilian elements of Washington's career: his sword is by his side and he rests his left hand on a fasces, but he carries a civilian walking cane and stands next to a plow. Washington wears his Revolutionary uniform, but his head is uncovered and his facial expression is fatherly. Houdon's monument to America's foremost hero recalls Washington's life as a soldier, statesman, and private citizen.
The Houdon statue holds great importance because it is the authoritative likeness of Washington, and no other castings and measurements were taken of him. Many artists wished to make casts and moldings from the statue. There were a total of thirty-three replicas produced of the Houdon statue, each of which caused some damage to the original. As a result, in 1910, the Virginia General Assembly passed a bill banning any future castings from the Houdon statue. In addition to the damage caused by repeated castings, according to an 1866 newspaper story, the statue was damaged in a pistol duel that caused some cracking of Washington's cane and tassel.
In 1784, the Virginia General Assembly commissioned a marble bust of the Marquis de Lafayette with the intent that it would be placed in the new Capitol as a symbol of public virtue from the Old and the New Worlds. The bust was also done from life by Jean-Antoine Houdon. Lafayette was voted a citizen of Virginia by an Act of Assembly in 1785 for his valuable services on behalf of the Commonwealth of Virginia during the American Revolution. His bust was received from France in 1789.
In 1930, the Virginia General Assembly authorized the placing of seven marble busts in the Rotunda as a Virginia "Hall of Presidents." (Virginia is known as the "Mother of Presidents" with eight of her sons, including Washington, serving in that office.) Jefferson's bust, a copy by Attilio Piccirilli of an original done from life by Houdon, was the gift of a group of French citizens; the other busts were gifts from Virginia citizens. The busts depict: Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, James Monroe, William Henry Harrison, John Tyler, Zachary Taylor, Woodrow Wilson, and the Marquis de Lafayette.

Submarine Force Museum
Japanese Type A: During World War II these two-man boats, code-named "Mato," were piggybacked to mother ships, usually larger submarines, which carried them to their areas of operation. Matos were used throughout the war and were present at the attack on Pearl Harbor. (Research conducted after the war indicates that one Mato successfully hit USS WEST VIRGINIA (BB-48) with one of its torpedoes.) The two protrusions on the bow, or front, are torpedoes. Contrary to popular belief, Matos were not meant to be "kamikaze," or suicide, subs. This particular boat was part of a 1944 war-bond fundraising effort.
Welcome to my CrEaTiVe Space!
HOW IT WAS BUILT
A few years ago my husband offered to build me an art studio for my birthday. What a great gift! Little did I know at the time that I would be hammering with him side by side, getting splinters and into frustrating arguments (and we’re suppose to build a home together someday!). Anyhow, the spot we chose was an old concrete slab that existed as a foundation for a pig pen some years prior. It was amongst the bamboo forest behind our house so, the first project was to clear some land. The materials came from an old garage which we tore down in exchange for all the wood and old windows. The older Japanese man whose garage this was said that it had been there for some 80 years and that it could have also been built from reclaimed wood. We began to build…First the heavy, wood plank floors went in followed by the framing, walls, and roof which was reclaimed also from a roofing job up the street. The used windows still have the old hand blown glass which has that wavy look to it with bubbles in it. At this pint the structure looked dark and dingy, thus began the task of cheering it up!
TAKE THE TOUR
My studio is located above a creek which only flows during heavy rains. When it does I just love the sound of easy flowing water. Half of it lies under a gigantic avocado tree which drops melon size fruits like bombs onto my tin roof. Then of course there are the four swaying palm trees where the inspiration came for the name Palm Tree Princess.
It’s just a short walk from the house where you would find yourself on my cement threshold which has been inlaid with sea glass to read “E Komo Mai” (welcome in Hawiian). Along the way you may have spotted a hidden fairy or gnome hiding in the jungle. Open the (old closet) door (which has an old porcelain knob and skeleton keyhole lock) and you step inside of my oasis. It’s a place where no one has a say but me. For it is completely and totally my realm. It is a place where the monogram of my name and my name only can adorn the walls (with a crown on top!). You get the picture. Look to the right and you will see an old reclaimed bedside table which I have done a mosaic on from tiles I found that had washed ashore on an Italian coastline. Resting in this space is my self titled booked “Desiree” (because everyone should have some great historic novel with their name on it!). On this side of the studio is my day bed. Perfect for reading, contemplating, daydreaming, or just staring out the window which looks into our dense bamboo forest. It is also a great spot for a guest to spend the night (don’t look under the bed because I use it for storage). There are two bookshelves hovering over each side of the bed (which has too many pillows on it). One shelf is completely and only for my collection of fairy books. The other shelf has a mix of art and mermaid books. Which by the way I adore Mucha, Waterhouse, Maxfield Parrish, and Tadema to name a few. Next to the bed is another reclaimed piece of furniture, an old wooden pantry that I painted and now houses wooden bird house, my journal collection, miniatures, and more. The top of it is adorned with glass apothecary jars holding my seashell and sea glass collections (labeled by color, I am such a geek!). The other half of my studio consists of my main countertop workspace, my funky writing desk and chair, my grandmothers old Singer sewing machine and table, and a cool piece I picked up recently which swivels on wheels. One half of it is a desk and the other has drawers and shelves. Storage is key in a small workspace and so is designated spaces for each specific project. And, things on wheels are cool too. Hanging from my ceiling are an ever growing collection of paper lanterns in all colors and sizes. Some light up for a vivid nighttime atmosphere. I have a section on my wall with my fancy papers draped on rods like you would see them displayed in a paper store. Then there is also my ribbon collection which are on two rods as well above the window. I have also another reclaimed wooden cabinet which is home to odds and ends. Everything has a spot and most everything is labeled. That in a nutshell ladies and gentlemen is my studio. It truly is a dream come true.
At any given time my studio is a mess with projects! From painted onesies piling high for wholesale orders to some sewing job still laying out needing to be finished, something with paint on it drying over here and a tutu in the process over there, my space always is alive with creative jobs.
With Etsy being such a glorious place for so many artists, it would be such a great thing to see other creative work spaces. There should be some area to showcase this. I thought I’d make mine a listing to share with others. Maybe I can encourage others to do the same and open up their spaces of art for others to see. Whether it’s a nook in a kitchen or a separate barn turned into a dream studio, every artist deserves their own realm no matter how big or small to call their own and let their imagination and ideas soar.
THANKS FOR LOOKING!

This image was rather dark, so I had to tweak it quite a bit.
It is a bit grainy, but I really liked the light reflected on the window in front and the composition.
