This house, known as The Stinton Ranch sits in the Alblemarle Sound at the end of Soundside Road in Nag's Head, North Carolina. Pretty much the only house I know that does. For reason's unexplained this house is on the National Historic Registry. The home was demolished in Hurricane Irene. I was sad to hear of its demise. I was puzzled when they decided to rebuild it. I have painted this house before. Since they decided to rebuild it, I decided I should at least make an effort to paint it again. I do not know if the original owner's of the property are living there.
This painting was done from a photograph of the original structure, and thus more accurate than what is now constructed at the end of Soundside Road.
Good News Everybody. I have renal cancer. I believe it is very curable. I will have surgery soon. I probably won't write about this much more. I don't want me or my painting to be defined by this.
I am going to remodel my studio and add some more square footage. I am going to do my best to keep painting through all of this.
I will have a new photograph of myself done soon. I might put on a new shirt. Life is wonderful. I am excited about how this ordeal will reinspire passion for improving my skills as a painter. Thank you for your thoughts and prayers. Bon Ton Roulet!

Can't wait to see your new shirt, Rick!
An awesome piece of work, Rick! I must make my way up the beach and check out some Nags Head scenes. Keep painting!
Relieved to hear it is less invasive and more curable than originally thought. My prayers will continue to be with you.
Will you look like a glowing god in your new photo too?
By the way, I really like this painting. You gave it a a nice prominent status in a vast space. It's very inviting.
