Raise Your Brush – Dayton Skyline

This past Tuesday, we attended the Dayton Skyline fundraiser at Raise Your Brush in Centerville, which was a fundraiser for the Oregon District Tragedy Fund!

Sara’s painting is a view from the north, looking south at downtown, with the river in the foreground, while Bethany’s is a view from the south, looking north at downtown – approximately from the Woodland Cemetery perspective, with trees in the foreground.

We had such a great time, and love our paintings. Raise Your Brush was able to raise over $1,000 to donate to such a great cause.

Smith Gardens

If you look the right way, you can see that the whole world is a garden.” ― Frances Hodgson Burnett, The Secret Garden


Smith Gardens, located in Oakwood, is an enchanting little garden. In the 1930s the garden was planted by the owners of the land, Carlton and Jeanette Smith and is now a city park. According to the Oakwood Historical Society, in April 1996, Ohio Magazine called Smith Gardens the “finest tiny public garden in Ohio. It’s like a secret treasure on an ordinary side street.
