Watercolor of Family’s Home in Winter Scene
This is the first house portrait of 2018 — won’t this be a wonderful and meaningful gift!
This 15″ x 24″ picturesque watercolor portrays a family’s lovely home in Jefferson, Pennsylvania in festive holiday decor amid the winter snow. The artwork was commissioned by a husband for his wife, and includes their two children happily building a snowman while their beloved dog contently looks on. What a sweet memory to capture for the mother! She is sure to be very touched by her husband’s thoughtfulness, and the artwork should delight their children too when they see themselves decorating the snowman and Santa standing on the front porch!
To make it even more special, the image of this custom house portrait will be reproduced for the family’s Christmas greeting cards next year, and 8.5″x 11″ archival giclee prints are now being made for the family members as a keepsake. If this idea appeals to you, I will be happy to create the original artwork and have the keepsake prints made for your loved ones too. Call me at (314) 892-9221 and I will be happy to hear your wishes and provide a meaningful portrait for you to treasure for many years to come.

I am now taking orders for 2018, and am currently working on a large watercolor painting of a family’s Pennsylvania home in a picturesque winter scene that will include two children building a snowman in the front yard — their mom will be so tickled when she sees it!
If winter is your favorite season, and you would like a special property depicted in a house portrait with the beauty of snow, I would be happy to create it for you. Also, if you need a home portrait now, but prefer to portray a Spring or Summer season portrait, I can do that as well using some creative license. Call me at 314-892-9221 to discuss your wishes!

Watercolor Portrait of The Treehouse Spa
What a perfect location for a spa!
On December 21, the finishing touches were put on this final house portrait of the year — an 11″ x 14″ watercolor painting of a truly unique, 2 -story wooden shingle property in O’Fallon, Missouri that will be the location of The Treehouse Spa. The building actually incorporates the large trees for structural support, hence the name! The owner, David Stuehmeyer, a licensed massage therapist, will be opening his business in a few weeks offering therapeutic massages in this tranquil, wooded setting surrounded by the beauty of nature — it’s such an ideal place! His clients are sure to have a relaxing and wonderful experience– sign me up! A very thoughtful lady friend of David’s commissioned the artwork in anticipation of him opening his business soon, and I hope he will be excited to display it in his treehouse office!
Best wishes to David as he embarks on what I trust will be a very successful business!
