More pictures from making Where the Heart Is
My home is the last remaining building of a hotel from the 1880’s located in the historic Carson Springs area of TN. It has no windows on the front because it was the rear of what looked like 4 buildings built by four architects with four different visions of what a hotel should look like; pushed together in a line by a divine hand. I have photos of it from the early 1900’s with the crowds of well dressed and elegant visitors standing around the lawn and porches. I love the way the front yard drops away from the front porch in a sweeping green hill and planned to execute it in small square patches of various shades of green. But as things often go in the art world, it began to morph into something else, swaying lines of green to go with the patchwork, then trees, an orchard, a place for the chickens and finally sheep. This last addition brought to mind another favorite home of mine, my Uncle Roby Greer’s house in Todd, NC where I loved to go as a child and play with the baby lambs. That’s when I knew the name could not be Carson Springs Hotel, or Uncle Roby’s Farm, but quite obviously Where The Heart Is.
