Print Edition of the New York Times Arrived!
So happy to receive the June 30 New York Times newspaper featuring my artwork!
Being in the Midwest, I had to order the NY Edition and it was such a delight when it arrived! The portrait featured in the story is a 16″x 20″ watercolor painting I created for Joe and Mary Olk of Chesterfield, Missouri, and it was an honor to be selected.

Watercolor Painting of Orchard Park, NY Home
Completed on July 17, this 8″ x 10″ watercolor portrays a family’s long-time home in Orchard Park, New York. The artwork shows the property the way the family wished to remember it, including the garden area with red, pink and white begonias, and the the crab apple tree in lovely full bloom. I hope their custom house portrait brings wonderful, warm memories of the many years they lived at this residence.
If you too would like your family’s home portrayed, I would be happy to create it.

Pen and Ink Portrait of Shaker Heights, Ohio Home
Most of the time, clients request a watercolor painting of their home or business, but every so often I’m asked to create a pen and ink, and I’m always thrilled. So it was for this newly completed 10″ x 16″ illustration of this home in Shaker Heights, Ohio, commissioned by my client as a gift to her son and daughter-in-law — how thoughtful! As you can see, my pen and ink artwork is rich in detail and character and I hope the couple will love the distinctive look.
Artwork of Richelle Flecke Featured in the New York Times

This June 28 online version featured myself along with two other talented artists and I’m honored to be included.

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.
