Watercolor portrait of lovely home in Frontenac, Missouri
Just completed on March 31st…. a custom sized 14″x 22″ Watercolor house portrait of a beautiful residence in Frontenac, Missouri. The portrait was commissioned by the owners as a gift for their family. Creative license was used in portraying this property…. though the front of the home faces north and is in complete shadow all day, I depicted it with sunlight and shadows, which makes a lively and inviting representation. The many plants in the landscape are shown in full bloom — crepe myrtles, roses, azaleas, hostas, two Japanese Maples, Dogwood and Magnolia trees and all add to the beauty of this house portrait.

Watercolor portrait of Chesterfield, Missouri home
Just completed on February 27th… a Watercolor custom house portrait of a two-story Colonial style frame residence in Chesterfield, Missouri. The portrait was commissioned as a keepsake of the many years the owners lived there. I took “creative license” by portraying the trees and landscape in a lush summer season that included manicured ivy along the front and steps, even though it was a very cold winter day when the photo was taken. This is a beautiful home , and I truly enjoyed creating the portrait and hope it brings back wonderful memories!
