Lombard Street House for Lisa F.

This portrait was a birthday gift for the woman who owns the house. 

I can see why one would take pride in this gorgeous brick row home.

It was a little tricky because my reference pictures were shots from
google map street view!

      

7xx Montrose Street, Philadelphia.

I've recently had the pleasure of working with the Realtor I worked with so many times in the past again! He really helped me get my foot in the door with the row home portraits, and I am so grateful for his business! This little home in Bella Vista just sold, and this portrait was the closing gift.

**Holiday Commissions**

Happy 2014 everyone! Here are some commissions that I was waiting to post until after Christmas. Lots of red brick going on, I wonder how many hours this past year I clocked in drawing individual bricks?!

My first 3/4 view portrait. Lots of fun!

Lovely red brick row home in Center City Philadelphia.

My first Missoula house portrait. Love the little kitty and dog. I always like drawing stained glass windows, they add such a nice little touch to houses.

Mt. Airy Home for Caroline W.

I've been saving this commission for the past six months, and have finally completed it! I went to middle school in Mt. Airy and absolutely love some of the giant old houses there. This "twin" house was built in 1897, and still maintains its Victorian charm. The porch looks like a lovely place to relax and enjoy a cup of coffee!

Christmas Commissions

For the next month, I will have to take a little break from posting as most of the commissions are Christmas gifts for loved ones, and I do not want to ruin the surprise for anyone. In the meantime check out more of my work featured in posts below. Also, I have a fresh round of Philadelphia Row Home prints available on my Etsy page.

I am still taking commissions for the Holidays, so feel free to email me with any inquiries.

Rittenhouse home for Jess B.

This past summer, I walked around all the neighborhoods I love in Philly and dropped some promotional materials for my portraits in mail slots of houses I adored. Subsequently, I was contacted by one very nice lady, and got to draw this gorgeous home. The roof looks like a little oasis in the middle of the city!

Philly and Minneapolis houses for Ann T.

These are two lovely houses that were so much fun to draw! 

I got to work with the nicest mother and daughter who were so helpful with 

providing me with different photos multiple times. 

The pets were also great to draw too.

Below is Mr. Meowgi.

 I love drawing these historical Philadelphia houses.
