Portrait to Begin of Charming and Rustic Wedding Venue
After taking some time off after the passing of my father, I’m back at my drawing table and excited to begin the next portrait. I’ll be portraying a rustic and charming 18th century stone building at Holly Hedge Estate, located in New Hope, Pennsylvania situated on 20 acres of lovely floral gardens, waterscapes, stone terraces, and a popular venue for weddings. The watercolor painting was commissioned to be a gift for a bride and groom who will be married there in April and is sure to be a beautiful keepsake of one of the most important days of their lives. If you would like a truly meaningful wedding gift for a special couple you know, I would be honored to create a portrait of their church or reception venue for them — contact me today to discuss your wishes!

Charming House Portrait with Client’s Two Cats
After I posted the four watercolor portraits that included family pets, another favorite I had done several years ago came to mind…. this watercolor painting of a gray frame home in Illinois! If you look closely, you’ll see two cats sitting in windows that the client asked be included. Their addition was a sweet touch that enhanced the charm of the older home, and I was happy to depict them! If you would like to include a beloved dog or cat in your custom house portrait, be sure to let me know — it can certainly be done.

Watercolor Portrait of Port Matilda, Pennsylvania Home
This was such a beautiful traditional home and landscape to portray!
Completed on January 28, this 11″x 18″ watercolor depicts a large frame home in Port Matilda, Pennsylvania that was commissioned by the homeowners because the family will be relocating soon and they wished to have an artwork keepsake of their residence. This is the third custom house portrait I’ve provided for this upwardly mobile family, and I hope it brings many fond memories!
On an interesting side note, this home in Port Matilda was built in the mid 1980’s, and closely modeled after a historic home in Portsmouth, New Hampshire built in 1758 now known as the John Paul Jones House. Jones was the famous naval hero of the American Revolution and rented a room there in 1777 and again in 1781 when it was a boarding house. The building is now a museum and more information can be found at https://www.portsmouthnh.com/listing/john-paul-jones-house/
I hope my client’s family is proud to have lived in a a home designed to look very similar to one connected to a famous American patriot!
