May 4 ~ House Portrait Schedule Resumed
I’m resuming my portrait schedule today and happy to be working on the historic Basilica of Saint Louis, King of France, fondly known as the “Old Cathedral”. Constructed of limestone, the Old Cathedral is the oldest building in the city of St. Louis, and has always welcomed people of all faiths since 1834, including those of the Jewish faith as evidenced by the Latin and Hebrew gilded inscriptions on the facade. It’s a beautiful place of worship, inside and out, and it will be a joy to portray the exterior. I will post the finished artwork when it’s complete next week.

Happy News and House Portrait Schedule Update
As our state and country are still shut down due to the Covid-19 virus, I am also taking time off for another reason — the birth of our first granddaughter Eowyn — she is truly a beautiful blessing and my husband and I are overjoyed! With her doctor’s permission, I’ve taken the past three weeks off to be available to help our daughter and son-in-law when needed and I’m so grateful to have the time to do so. Our state of Missouri is expected to reopen on Monday, May 4th, and I will resume my portrait schedule then and am now taking orders. Should you need a watercolor or pen and ink house portrait for an upcoming special occasion, or simply wish to have one for yourself, I will be happy to create it for you. In the meantime, stay safe and healthy, and most importantly, stay positive — we will slowly return to normal one day!
