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!

The first house portrait of 2019 is a custom sized 10″ x 15″ watercolor of a beautiful French Country inspired brick residence in Collierville, Tennessee.

Watercolor House Portrait Turned Into Greeting Card
Hope the new year is off to a good start for you and your family!
Over the holidays, I received this 5″x 7″ Christmas greeting card from a family in Pennsylvania and it made me smile. On the front is the image of the 15″ x 24″watercolor house portrait I did for them earlier in 2018, showing their lovely residence in festive holiday decor while their two children and dog play in the snow. I was happy to give permission to use the artwork image when they asked, and now see that it reproduced beautifully on the small format. I hope the family enjoyed sending their unique Christmas card to family and friends!
