Painting of Gamma Phi Beta Sorority House

Completed on March 3rd, this 10″ x 15″ watercolor painting portrays the beautiful Gamma Phi Beta Sorority House in Greek Town on the campus of the University of Missouri. ( Mizzou) Built in the 1920’s, this lovely property possesses traditional, classical architecture that make it a well-loved home to the female students who reside there. The well manicured landscape is gorgeous, and the artwork depicts all the flowers and ornamental trees in lush, full bloom.  Nice touches are the two white wrought iron chairs on the front porch, and the Gamma Phi Beta insignia displayed above the columns. To create the most pleasing portrait possible, a large tree in the front yard that blocked the view of the house was removed, and another tree was placed behind the addition, as well as a few leafy branches gracefully draping from the right side. This custom house portrait will be displayed inside the sorority house, and I trust it will bring House Director Kim Berry, the sorority sisters, and the property owners much pride and great memories whenever they see it. Best wishes to each of them for continued success!
