Cherished Family Home in Maplewood, Missouri

Completed on August 28, this 11″x 14″ watercolor painting portrays a charming white frame home in Maplewood, Missouri that had been in my client’s family for many years. Her parents bought the property in 1959, and owed it for 45 years, where it became home to them, their five children, and their grandmother. My client commissioned this custom house portrait because she and her siblings have so many wonderful memories of this house and the years they lived together there. The artwork was made even more meaningful because of the personal items included in the portrait — the green bench her brother made for their mom, and the glass of iced tea on the small table next to it — sure to bring sweet memories to the family members!
