Watercolor Portrait of Home in Flers, France
Completed on April 25, this 9″ x 13″ watercolor portrait of a home in Flers, France was a joy to paint! This portrait depicts the house in a small town in Normandy as it looked nearly 50 years ago when it was the childhood home of my client’s father from 1955 to 1973 and includes their yard filled with red roses along with their two cats. I hope he will be touched by her thoughtful and meaningful gift and the memories it will bring! If there is a special home you would like portrayed, contact me to reserve a spot on my schedule — I’m now taking orders for August.
