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!
Watercolor House Portrait for a Husband’s Birthday Gift
The newest custom house portrait portrays a large, two-story traditional home with timeless classic style located in Weldon Spring, Missouri. The 9″ x 15″ watercolor artwork was commissioned by a thoughtful wife as a birthday gift to her husband and she’s looking forward to framing and presenting it to him — I hope he will be pleased with the portrayal!
Please Take Good Care!
What an extraordinary and unprecedented time our country and the world are living in! We will get through this serious challenge by following the safely guidelines, but it will take time. Please keep those sick with the Coronavirus in your prayers, the heartbroken family members of those that have passed, and the medical community to find a cure quickly so lives can be saved.
Most of you are new to working from home, and you’re trying to do your best adjusting — hang in there! I hope each day goes more smoothly than the one before. I’ve been working from home creating custom house portrait artwork for 22+ years, so it’s not nearly the upheaval for me as it may be for you. I’m grateful to be sitting at my drawing table working on a watercolor of a large home in Weldon Springs, Missouri this week — it will be a birthday gift from a wife to her husband, and I hope it will give them both a reason to smile when they see it in a few days.
Please stay safe, healthy, and strong — we will get through this and emerge better than before. Take good care!

A Creative House Just For Fun
You know how small kids love playing with empty boxes? I had a few at the house, and extra space in the basement, so in-between house portrait orders I’ve been working on another “house” — a multi-room playhouse made of large cardboard boxes for my little grandson! The main room of his Little Man Cave has a Book Nook illuminated by white rope lights where he can relax with his favorite books and other touches are an address plaque, door knocker, shutters, trellis, awnings, and an American flag. As you can see, he was delighted with his custom house!
