I will be painting with a group from Mountain Brook Art Association in Hamilton, Alabama  Thursday and Friday.  This town has a lot of history.    "The city was first call Toll Gate but later the name was changed to honor Captain Albert James Hamilton.  Captain Hamilton donated forty acres of his land to the town, surrounding what is now known as the Historic Hamilton-Sullins House.  The same forty acres were then divided into lots and sold to help cover the cost of building the courthouse. " (Hamilton  Area Chamber of Commerce and Hamilton B.A.S.E. )  I personally love Hamilton.  We lived there for 6 years and we were surrounded by people who are so unique.  Most of them lived in Hamilton all of their lives.  Many went off to college, married their childhood sweetheart and moved back.  A very special place indeed full of loving people.
