Custom watercolor portrait of lake cottage in Shawano County, Wisconsin
Just completed on October 4th… an oversized 16″x 24″ Watercolor portrait of a family’s lake cottage in Wisconsin. This custom portrait captures several items that make this family retreat so special and loved … the large shaded deck with comfy patio furniture, a relaxing hammock tied between two trees, a sandy beach, and a white wooden swing that the grandkids handpainted and decorated themselves that’s absolutely adorable! I hope the portrait will remind the whole family of the many wonderful, fun weekends and holidays spent there together!
Custom house portrait of stone residence in Cedar Rapids, Iowa
Just completed on September 14th… an oversized 16″x20″ Watercolor house portrait of a large architecturally interesting, older stone residence in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. This custom portrait was commissioned by the adult children to be given to their parents this Christmas. The portrait portrays the rich character of the property in the hand hewn stones and white moulding trimwork design of the pediment and fascia, surrounded by a lovely landscape including a white dogwood and birch trees. My hope is that this original house portrait will provide treasured memories for the family who lived there.

The flowers in the curved garden area are shown in full bloom and add to the beauty of the home. Congratulations and best wishes to the homeowners for many more years of happiness at this address!
