Hello March!
If you’re like me, you’re thrilled to see the month of March arrive…. these next few weeks will bring us closer to springtime, warmer weather, and our landscapes and gardens in full bloom! If you’d like to capture the beauty of yours or a loved one’s home and garden with a beautiful watercolor custom house portrait, contact me to reserve a spot on my calendar — I will be pleased to provide it.
Transform a Landscape With a Beautiful House Portrait
Are you looking for a unique gift for an upcoming occasion for someone really special? Are you considering a custom house portrait because you know what a great gift it would be, but concerned because it’s still the winter season and the landscape is gray and dreary to take photos to work from? No worries… you will be happy to know that using current photos, I’m able to use creative license to transform a bare winter landscape into a lush spring/summer one with the colorful flowers and foliage they want to see. I’ve done this many times, and here is a sample showing the difference — it looks much nicer with trees in bloom and green grass, doesn’t it? If you would like to do the same for someone special, contact me at 314-892-9221.
Watercolor Portrait of Pennsylvania Home
This spacious brick home in Pennsylvania was so interesting to depict! Commissioned by a wife as a gift to her husband, this 13″x 23″ watercolor painting will be a thoughtful, beautiful reminder of the ten years this couple and their children lived in this residence, and will be a nice addition to their new home! Best wishes to them!
Recipients Unwrap Their House Portrait Gift
I wish it were possible to always watch as recipients unwrap their house portrait gifts and see them for the first time! I can when local clients pick up their artwork, and it’s always a joy to see their face light up with smiles. When out-of town clients show me photos, it’s very thoughtful and appreciated — it’s the next best thing to being there! This past weekend, on January 23, the parents of my client Samantha G received the watercolor painting of their lake house she and her siblings ordered for them as a gift when they were finally able to celebrate Christmas together. Special thanks to Samantha for showing me these photos — as you can see, her parents were surprised and delighted! This is the second home portrait I’ve created for them — the first was a watercolor portrait of their residence commissioned by Samantha and her siblings in 2019 and you can see it hanging on the wall behind them in a very nice mat and frame. Best wishes to this mother and father who are very loved by their family — I wish them many more enjoyable weekends together at their lake house retreat! If you would like to surprise your own parents with a beautiful custom house portrait of their residence, call me at 314-892-9221 to reserve a spot on my 2021 calendar — I will be happy to create it for them!
Watercolor Portrait of Lake House for Gift
What a very special place! The first custom house portrait of 2021 portrays a rustic lake house property in Ticonderoga, New York and is a gift from adult children to their parents. This 8″ x 12″ watercolor includes some of the nicely landscaped area that surrounds the cabin, including where the family enjoys campfires, and a view of Rogers Rock across the lake in the distance — all important to show. I hope this artwork will remind the parents and their family of the many enjoyable weekends they spent there over the years — and many more yet to come! If you have a special home or business property you would like beautifully represented in an original piece of art, contact me to reserve a spot on my 2021 calendar, 314-892-9221.
