Artwork of Richelle Flecke Featured in the New York Times
I have some very exciting news to share with you! Several weeks ago, I was contacted and interviewed by Daniel Grant, a writer for the New York Times assigned to do a story about artists that create architectural portraits, and I am happy to say that it was just published! This June 28 online version featured myself along with two other talented artists and I’m honored to be included.
“Why Take a Picture of Your House When You Can Paint It Instead?” For some homeowners and brokers, a commissioned painting of a house is the best way to pay tribute to it. Read more…
Watercolor of Family’s Lovely Home
Just completed on June 29, this 9″x 14″ watercolor custom house portrait portrays a spacious and beautiful brick home in Town and Country, Missouri where my client, her husband, their children, and their beloved black Labrador resides. I’ve worked with this homeowner before to portray her parent’s and in-law’s homes, and also her parish church with limited edition prints for a fundraiser, and it was a joy to work with her again to create this vivid watercolor painting of her own home for her family. I hope her children are thrilled to see their sweet dog included in the artwork!
If you have a home you are fond of and would like it portrayed, I would be happy to provide it. Call 314-892-9221 today to reserve a spot on my schedule and discuss your wishes.

Watercolor House Portrait for Moving Gift
Completed on June 12, this 10″ x 15″ watercolor painting depicts a lovely residence in Ballwin, Missouri and will be a gift to the homeowners who will be moving soon, commissioned by their very thoughtful neighbor friends. The artwork includes personal touches the recipients will enjoy remembering…. their beloved dog peeking out a window, two rocking chairs on the front porch, and a very special small tree planted in honor of a loved one. I hope this custom house portrait brings many warm, joyful memories to the family every time they view it!
Pen and Ink Portrait for Wedding Anniversary Gift
As you know, a custom house portrait makes a unique and meaningful gift for special occasions of family and friends — and this includes my own! So it gave me great joy to create this pen and ink illustration as a gift to our daughter and son-in-law to commemorate their 5 year wedding anniversary on June 7th and residence in this home shortly after their marriage. Both appreciate the distinctive look of black and white line work of pen and ink, so I knew this portrait would make a terrific gift to mark the occasion. It depicts their four bedroom home in Glendale, Missouri as it looked when purchased, along with updates to landscape, and I look forward to helping them select a mat and frame for their keepsake artwork!
If there is a home you would like portrayed for your own family, or for someone special, I will be happy to create a beautiful original portrait for them also. Contact me to reserve a place on my schedule, 314-892-9221.
