Watercolor Painting of Beautiful Two-Story Home
After taking a few days away from my drawing table last week to complete final tasks for our son’s wedding to his beloved Katie, I resumed work this week and completed this watercolor painting of a beautiful two-story home in St. Louis County, Missouri. The 12″x 19″ artwork is the former home of my client and his family, and the third I’ve provided for them. The decorative brass rimmed glass front door and sidelights were interesting to depict as was the lovely landscape in full bloom. I hope this custom house portrait brings many warm memories!
Wedding at Our Lady of Sorrows Catholic Church
Our youngest son Chaz and his sweet Katie were married on October 19 at Our Lady of Sorrows Catholic Church in Saint Louis, Missouri and all went beautifully! The ceremony itself was touching, and the evening reception in the Crystal Ballroom at the Marriott Saint Louis Grand Hotel was beyond gorgeous! It was a memorable time celebrating with family and friends who also love the bride and groom. The illustration I recently created of our dog Max was reproduced to make a sign on the bar for the guests — very clever — and got lots of laughs! My husband, I, and our whole family are so happy for the newlyweds and look forward to seeing the wonderful life they create together!
