January 5th, 2012      HAPPY NEW YEAR!  I hope everyone had wonderful, blessed Christmas and Hanukkah holidays with beloved family and friends and your year is off to a great start!  These past several days, I have been enjoying some time off after the holiday rush, but will be back to work next week on another portrait – this one will be a Pen & Ink and I am looking forward to doing it! Check back soon to see the final artwork!

Charming Home in Fall Season

Completed on December 20th ….. an 11″x14″ Watercolor portrait of a  charming traditional 2-story home with landscaping portrayed in the colors of Fall.  The photo provided by the client was taken in the Summer, but the client requested that the portrait portray the beauty of the Fall season because it’s her parent’s favorite time of the year. The addition of the two pumpkins was a nice touch!

Tropical beauty in Panama

Just completed on December 9th…. an 11″x14″ Watercolor portrait of a breathtaking and spacious 3-story residence in the tropical setting of Panama.  A front and center view was best to portray this property. I enjoyed depicting their impressive upper balcony, terracotta tile roof, custom black wrought iron fence and gate that echoes the design pattern of the front entry door, dark stone sidewalk and windows that reflect the nearby palm trees.  A special addition was the toucan that frequently visited the family…he’s shown in one of the palm trees! What a truly amazing place to spend a part of your life!

Traditional 2-Story in Florence, Arizona

Just completed on November 23rd….  a 9″x12″ Watercolor  Portrait of a beautiful, traditional brick residence in Florence, Arizona.   I love the arched windows and front entryway with red door and sidelights! An American flag and three deer on the lawn add a very nice personal touch for the family that resides here.

Elegant residence in Clayton, Missouri

Just completed on November 18…. an 11″ x 14″ Watercolor portrait of a large brick Tudor-style residence with abundant architectural character. The portrait shows the interesting multi-colored brickwork, stately windows and entryway, black wrought iron window flower boxes and beautiful landscaping in full bloom. Truly a  very distinctive property to portray.
