Watercolor portrait of white frame home in North Carolina

Just completed on December 19th — the last portrait due for Christmas 2014 — an 11″ x 14″ watercolor of a charming white frame home in Winston Salem, North Carolina. The artwork depicts the landscape in the Spring season with all trees and flowers in beautiful bloom, and also includes the family’s grey cat and decorative mini flag with the initial of their last name — both nice personal touches! The artwork was commissioned to be a gift from a wife to her husband, and it is being shipped so it will arrive before Christmas Eve — I hope the wife and husband will be thrilled with their custom home portrait!

Watercolor home portrait of quaint farmhouse

Just completed on December 12th …  an 8″ x 11″ watercolor of an updated farmhouse with lots of charm and appeal! The artwork portrays the home in the summer season with beautiful and abundant flowers on and around the deck, and includes two white ceramic pitchers on a table in a corner — a very nice personal touch! The artwork was commissioned to be a Christmas gift, and I hope that the recipient will be pleased!
