COMMISSION YOUR OWN
Meaningful Home Portrait
Whether it's for yourself, a family member, or friend, a home portrait makes a special memento for the place that makes us feel safe.
Our homes are an extension of ourselves, and it sometimes takes an artwork to express the uniqueness of a place. With gestural ink work and watercolor that flows in and out of its confines, each painting has movement, drips, and drops that give it a human touch. A custom home portrait is a tribute to where you build your life, and it makes an excellent gift for housewarmings, bringing home a baby, moving, or something special for yourself.
I look forward to creating a meaningful home portrait for you - an artwork that moves beyond architectural rendering and lets the character and energy of the place shine through.
WHAT YOU PROVIDE
Pictures, Desired Size
and How You Prefer Delivery
The best home portraits start with great photographs. The more, the better! A photograph of the front of the house (or the side that you would like to showcase) as straight on as possible. Then closeups of any special details. You can even point out plants in the landscape that you want to highlight or have in bloom.
Decide if you would like a 9"x12" or 11"x15" portrait. Additional sizes can be calculated at roughly $6 per linear inch plus physical materials cost.
Then decide if you would like me to handle printing and delivery of the artwork or if you would like to handle that yourself from the original digital artwork file with a printer of your choosing.
PRICING
For a Variety of Needs and Budgets
These original artworks are a unique combination of traditional watercolor on textured paper, layered with multimedia digital work, delivered in a ready-to-print digital format. You can print at the original size or smaller, to be framed or create notecards and any variety of gifts. Digital artworks can be printed using archival ink, helping to protect your investment. Pricing options are as follows:

I send you the digital artwork file and also take care of having the artwork printed and mailed to you. Any additional prints, just add $20 each (great for other family members).

THE PROCESS
From Email to Artwork
After you contact me with your desired project specs, I will send an invoice for the size artwork you request. Upon receipt of payment, I will begin sketches based on your photographs and ideas. I will email the sketch to you, and if you notice any changes that should be made, I can make adjustments and send you an updated sketch. When I get your approval on the sketch, I will complete the watercolor and digital color and details on the artwork. I then send you the final image for approval and, based on the option you choose, either print and send you the physical artwork myself or you finish it up with a printer of your choosing from the file. A memento is made!
