Pen and Ink with Watercolor Portrait of Glendale, MO Home
As you know, a custom house portrait makes a unique and meaningful gift for the special occasions of family members — and that includes my own! Last year, for my daughter and son-in-laws wedding anniversary, I portrayed their four bedroom home in a black and white pen and ink illustration and they loved the distinctive look. However, the awesome character of their brick home made me long to see it in color, so I asked if I could add watercolor to the original 2019 illustration — they agreed and it was done on July 24, 2020 and the result looks beautiful, and really makes the property come to life! When my daughter saw it the next day she was so pleased and looked forward to showing her husband and having it framed. If there is a home you would like portrayed for your family member or someone special, I would be happy to create a beautiful portrait you will be proud to give. To reserve a spot on my schedule, call 314-892-9221 or message me.
Framed Portrait of Faith Lutheran Church
The artwork of Faith Lutheran Church looks wonderful in a double mat and black frame and I understand the recipient of the gift, Pastor John Brunette, was very pleased with the portrayal of his church when it was presented to him by staff on June 24th! Congratulations to this pastor on 30 years of service, and best wishes for many more years of dedicated leadership growing his church! If you would like to give your clergy member, teacher, employer, or business associate the gift of original of artwork to commemorate an upcoming special occasion, I would be honored to provide it.

Portrait of Church for Pastor’s Anniversary Gift
This 12″ x 20″ portrait portrays Faith Lutheran Church in Oakville, just south of Saint Louis, Missouri and was an honor to create. Depicted in pen and ink with watercolor, this portrait will be a gift to the Lead Pastor, John Brunette, to commemorate his 30th anniversary ministering to this congregation. The exterior has a contemporary architectural style, and the stained glass windows inside are truly an inspiration! After adding the hand-rendered inscription with the church’s name at the bottom, I snapped this photo of the artwork before taking it to be matted and framed, and I trust the finished piece will make a meaningful gift for the pastor.

This house portrait is an 11″ x 16″ watercolor painting of a young family’s spacious newer residence in Kirkwood, Missouri and it was so interesting to portray.

This picturesque custom house portrait also includes wicker chairs, a small table, door plaque, and a porch swing — all nice touches! Best wishes to this couple for many more years of anniversaries in this home!
