Working sculptor

Today, yard work. The last few weeks I've been working on painting the outside of my home. Long needed maintenance that should help the mood of my neighborhood. I've noticed many fixing up this fall. Is it a plan to move on or just a desire to make the Home feel better in the face of war and ruin?

My hope is to find a way to take a painting trip and find the top one hundred locations for landscape in the USA. Any suggestions?
