Special Artwork Gift Created for Dear Friends
I had some time between house portraits last week to create this special artwork gift for dear friends. Their beloved 8 year old brown Labrador, Benelli, passed away several weeks ago and it was a huge loss. When I was told of Benelli’s passing, I decided to make some time to portray him. I completed this 7″x 10″ mixed media portrait last week, and presented it to my friends Andrea and Davis yesterday, and they were so touched. I know how hard it is to lose a beloved pet, and I hope this portrait brings my friends many sweet memories of their years with Benelli.
Back to portraying homes this week and I’m now working on a beautiful residence in Calabasas, California — will post when complete!

Gorgeous Location for a Home!
What a gorgeous location for a home! This newly completed house portrait portrays a family’s residence near Denver, Colorado, complete with a beautiful sunset in back. This 8″ x 12″ watercolor was a gift from the wife’s father to her and her husband — what a thoughtful thing to do! The artwork includes their front landscape in colorful full bloom, low mountains in the distance, and a lovely sunset — very picturesque!
Now taking orders for Spring and Summer — call me at 314-892-9221 or message me here

Back At My Drawing Table Today!
My break is over and I’m happy to be back at my drawing table today! I’m beginning a watercolor portrait of a family’s home in Colorado with the sunset behind it — should be lovely!
My break was very eventful! In addition to all the things planned here at home, I spent a full week in Washington, DC visiting family members. It was an amazing time to be in that city during the inauguration of President Donald Trump. The weather was frigid, but we walked most places or took the Metro train. We toured our national museums — the Museums of Natural History, American History, Air and Space Museum, National Archives, the Holocaust Museum, Lincoln Memorial, and of course, the National Gallery of Art. Each left profound experiences I’ll always remember. We got as close as possible to the most famous house in our country — the White House! And, as you can imagine, it was inspiring and wonderful to see the magnificent, ornate architecture of so many historic, impressive buildings!
It’s great to be back home and I look forward to another busy year creating custom house portraits. I’m now taking orders for Spring and Summer. If you have any questions, or wish to place an order, call me at (314) 892-9221, or send me a message here
Out of Art Studio to Recharge and Catch Up
I’m currently out of my art studio using this time to recharge, visit with friends and family, do income tax prep work (oh joy!) and finally catch up on a few projects. Lots to do. I will be back to my drawing table on January 27th ready to create new custom house portraits! In the meantime, I can still be reached to answer questions and take portrait orders, so call me at (314) 892-9221, or send me a message here
I hope 2025 is going well for you so far and you are enjoying the last few days of the holiday season! I hope to work with you in the year ahead!
