Unique Artwork Wedding Gift for Bride and Groom
This newly completed 11″ x 15″ watercolor portrait was given on September 21st to Elizabeth and Anthony Galullo after their marriage at St. Ambrose Catholic Church in St. Louis, Missouri. The bride and groom were surprised and delighted to see themselves depicted in the artwork dressed in their wedding attire — such a unique and touching gift from the bride’s parents, Gaspare and Laura DiMaggio! I hope this one-of-a kind portrait brings many joyous memories of their special day every time they view it.
The architecture of the church is exceedingly beautiful inside and out, and located in “The Hill”neighborhood, a community with a proud Italian heritage. Best Wishes to Elizabeth and Anthony for many years of happiness together!

Another Happy Owner of a House Portrait
Many times my house portraits get shipped out-of-town to the recipients, so it’s always especially nice when local clients pick up their artwork — it’s great to see their smile and joy when seeing their artwork in person! And so it was when Michelle Avanzado, the client for my newly completed portrait, came by to pick up hers. She loved it, and looked forward to selecting a mat and frame and displaying it on a decorative shelf in her family room. I hope the portrayal of her home surrounded in beautiful autumn colors brings many compliments to her and her husband!
Portrait of Ranch Home in Beautiful Autumn Colors
Completed on September 15, this 8″ x 12″ custom house portrait of a ranch home in Ballwin, Missouri was created in pen and ink with watercolor. This combination worked perfectly to capture the many details of the property as well as add the beautiful autumn colors the client desired to portray. The inclusion of the beloved dog Max sitting on the front porch was a nice personal touch!
