House Portrait

Each home has a story to tell about the people that live there, and the ways that they love their home.

I am showing 3 of many steps of creating this particular house portrait in gouache watercolor.

After taking many photographs, on 2 different days, of this home, I chose a few photos that would be a composite from which to paint this home.

The landscape was embellished upon for the painting and gives a sense of a botanical frame around the log home.
I enjoy the play of lights and shadows to create drama in the finished piece.

Original Watercolor House Portrait

Home on the Delaware River

Whenever I have the privilege of painting a watercolor house portrait for a customer, it gives me pleasure to be able to portray a beloved home for the residents who cherish it.
This lovely home sits on a bluff overlooking the Delaware River, and is as charming inside as it is outside.  The rustic hot tub is a focal point of this landscape.
I work from photographs, and welcome inquiries about having your home or business reproduced as an original watercolor.
