Custom House Portraits

A photograph of a house documents the structure, a painting of that same house captures the magic. When I started offering Custom House Portraits many moons ago, I expected people to have me draw/paint their existing home. Some people did exactly that. But the majority of the house portraits ended up being of lake houses, first houses, childhood homes, first apartments, and grandparent’s houses. It was incredibly moving.

On a personal note, having to sell my son’s childhood home this year, I’m so glad that I have so many sketches and paintings of that house from over the years. The other day, he was feeling sentimental and asked me for one of them.

These paintings will be ready in time for Christmas - and because of that timeline, there are only a finite quantity available.
