Just Returned From Trip to Washington, DC
My husband and I just returned from a week-long trip to Washington DC to visit my son and his wife — we had a fantastic time! The weather was great– mid-70’s — and perfect for walking everywhere. This was my third trip to DC, and as you can imagine, I was again captivated by the magnificent architecture of the federal buildings, foreign embassies, and other gorgeous buildings and hotels as the Waldorf-Astoria and the Willard. We toured the US Capitol building, saw the White House, visited several museums, dined at great restaurants ( the historic Martin’s Tavern was my favorite! ) strolled picturesque Georgetown streets, and even met our US Senator Eric Schmitt! I took tons of photos and here are just a few — I might create a portrait of one or more!
Portrait of Extraordinary Home in Pebble Beach, CA
This watercolor portrait portrays an extraordinary hacienda style home in Pebble Beach, California and was so interesting to portray! The sprawling home faces a golf course, Stillwater Bay, and the Pacific Ocean, which can be seen reflected in the large windows along the front of the home. The front yard is a garden paradise filled with lush flowering plants — so lovely! Included is a statue of a young golfer taking a swing — a nice touch given the recipient’s love of golf. The 11″x 20″ custom house portrait is a thoughtful gift from my client Bob to his good friend Tom, and I hope he will be happy with the portrayal!
Portrait of Home in Italy for Gift to a Son and His Wife
This watercolor portrait of a home in Northern Italy was a gift to a son and his wife who just moved there! His mom wanted to surprise them with the artwork before they left their home in St. Louis and she said they loved it! The 8″ x 10″ artwork depicts their three bedroom stucco home surrounded by lush trees and flowers on their property — very picturesque! She plans to visit whenever she can — I would too!
