Pat Thomsom is a true artist in Smudge painting. He worked on one of my all time classic portrait The homeless man taken in Luang Prabang, Laos. As retired man Pat Thomson works hours and hours on this projects trying to get each pixel in an artistic way. The most difficult thing for Pat about painting this image was the beard on the lower left side of the man's face. In the photograph it blends in with the background and almost appears wispy and invisible. It took him several hours to rework the beard. I really love this smudge painted results. It looks so clear. For my it's a masterpiece but that is a very subjective judgement. Please have look at his website where you can see more of his great work.
My original photo has been painted by Pat Thompson a true artist in Smudge painting. This photo taken at the morning market of Luang Prabang. I fastly caught a glimpse of this old Asian man. Don't know if he noticed me, but one shot was all I got before he turned around and start eating his meal.
Our last day in Luang Prabang we were strolling down the Morning Market. A good place to go for food and entertainment. There are hundreds of temporary and semi-permanent shops, stalls, and blankets spread on the ground, where everyone buy and sell almost anything. Here the hill tribesman or woman comes face to face with the modern western traveler in a milieu strange to both of them. But nonetheless the strangeness seems to handle with a broad smile. Inside the market I caught a glimpse of this old man. Later I realize, looking at his dirty clothes, he must have been homeless.
He was just receiving a free meal from a local market restaurant. It was the first homeless we saw in Laos. I guess there are more homeless in Amsterdam than in Laos. Although Laos is a poor country, being homeless is ofcourse another story. But let's not forget a generation of War and the Politburo of the Communist Party who came to power. In 2005, the United States established Normal Trade Relations with Laos. Looking at his intriguing face I'm sure this man have quite a story to tell.

The Columbus Smith Estate
1177 Shard Villa Road, West Salisbury, Vermont USA • Cut stone, 2-1/2 story. French Second Empire style.
Home grown attorney Columbus Smith’s first great success was started in 1844, on behalf of the descendants of Frances Mary Shard, who died in England in 1819. His eventual win in 1858, after 14 years of research, multiple trips to England, legal filings, appearances & multiple appeals made him one of the richest men in Vermont. He would soon build and name his own estate after a women he never met.
He moved his ancestral home a bit to the north, and assembled an amazing team to build his mansion and grounds, from 1872-74: [1] the plan was based on “Design No. 19", in his copy of the 1869 pattern book “National Architect” by George E. Woodward; [2] the first plans were drawn by Warren Thayer, architect, Burlington, VT, and turned over to: [3] George & Clinton Smith (father & son) to detail the plans inside and out, and be the builders (at the time called “joiners”); [4] Robert Morris Copeland, Boston, MA (landscape architect - then called “landscape gardener”); and [5] in 1886-87, he brought Italian Muralist Sylvio Pezzoli to live in the Estate, while painting walls, ceilings, floors. screens and portraits.
Columbus's widow, Harriet, upon her death in 1919, willed the estate and fortune to become that we call today an Elder Care Home. A 2-1/2 story brick addition, with 14 rooms with private baths opened in 1922.
The Estate has been on the National Register of Historic Places (#89001789), since 1989.

The original June pretty much stuck to cooking, cleaning and the children but today's June does it all! June decided to paint the dining room this past week. Of course Ward helped her in the evenings after enjoying delicious meals that June had prepared for him.
So now the room is painted and the finishing touches are all that is left to do. Here June is ready to hang a pleated shade and Ward is assisting her by holding the screwdriver that she will need. Is Ward a dandy or what......LOL? And have ya noticed how much Ward enjoys June when she is in domestic mode!?
This episode of the June Cleaver series is dedicated to our good Flickr friend Shutta. He gave me the idea for this shot. He also wrote me a fabulous testimonial today. Stop by his stream and check out his fine work.
BTW there's a find Waldo in this shot. See if you can find it.
She also took the extra steps to de-grease her wall, so that she would have a clean, smooth surface.

Death Star party favors. Styrofoam balls with a dimple made by a candle-hot measuring spoon, stuck onto a black wood stand. Used in a game of "Yoda Says" where failing to listen to Yoda caused the infamous planet killer to advance a step closer to the player's planet.
