Photograph for Portrait of Sorority House

Photo of Gamma Phi house (c) Richelle FleckeSuch a beautiful property!

This photograph is of the Gamma Phi Sorority House on the campus of the University of Missouri (Mizzou), and is the view I am working from for the watercolor portrait commissioned by the House Director, Kim Berry.  I had the pleasure to meet her in person two weeks ago and discuss the details and her wishes for the artwork, especially the flowers and plants to be portrayed in full bloom, which were not the day the photo was taken.  To create the most aesthetically pleasing portrait, the tree obscuring the front of the house will be removed, as well as the cars and vertical drain spouts. 

Today, Monday February 27th, watercolor will be added to the preliminary pencil sketch I completed over the weekend, and I’m looking forward to making the property fully come alive over the next few days — the finished artwork will be posted later this week when complete!

Color Renderings Of Custom Homes

This was an interesting project!

Completed on February 20th, these three color renderings were done for Jim Dunman of Wolf Custom Homes, and represent the proposed residential designs for property located in Lake Saint Louis, Missouri.  The architect, Kevin Gelhoff of Gerloff Design Group, provided the black and white line elevations, and I added watercolor to match the designated colors and created the landscape to make the homes come alive. All three of these designs include stone accents that are a very desirable and handsome feature. I enjoyed working on this project with Jim and Kevin and hope the designs are approved to go forward. For more information on these homes, contact Jim at 636-236-4626.

Lovely Framed House Portrait

Framed portrait of Kansas homeVery special thanks to Kim R., a recent recipient of a watercolor house portrait given to her as a gift, for sending this photo showing how nicely she framed her artwork! She picked out a beautiful mat and frame, and it’s now proudly displayed on a wall in the living room of her Kansas home.  I appreciate her thoughtfulness letting me know she was delighted with her home portrait, and found the perfect place to hang it! I hope the painting brings her joy for many years to come.  Thank you, Kim!
