Back in November, I was asked to paint a small house portrait for a lovely couple. They had moved out of the home they had lived in for many, many years, and it had been his boyhood home as well, originally built by his father. A simple house,  well loved by the couple, but time marches on and it was time to move on to the simpler life of condo living. Fortunately, there were a few decent photos to work from, including a photo of the couple’s two dogs sitting in the front window. I also took a research trip to the site for a few additional photos and to scout out the lighting and terrain for the work. I like how it turned out, and so did they. I was told that it hangs in their new bedroom over a the bedside lamp, and when it is on, it looks like the sun is coming up and glowing on the lawn. Love that visual!

Here are a few other house portraits I’ve painted:

House portraits make wonderful gifts, as all of these were- a loving, lasting memory of a place well loved and cherished. You can always contact me to see about commissioning a portrait of your own home. I can be reached by e-mail or by phone on the contact page.
