Watercolor of Victorian home

Completed on July 12, this 16″ x 22″ watercolor painting portrays a large, magnificent, Victorian home in Ambler, Pennsylvania. Built in 1900, this 3-story, 18 room, stone residence is rich in architectural beauty… the decorative cornice, stained glass windows, elegant design treatment above the third story windows, and the intricate hand railing on the spacious wrap-around porch were so interesting to portray. The inclusion of the black wrought iron fence was the perfect finishing touch to complete the nostalgic appeal. The owners recently moved after living at this historic house for fifteen years, and the husband commissioned the artwork as a gift for his wife. It will be shipped tomorrow and arrive just in time for her birthday — I hope she will be surprised and delighted with the watercolor portrait and the fond memories it will bring!
