House in Germany!

This fun commission was for a gal who's parents reside in this beautiful home in Germany. I love getting a chance to work on portraits with the whole shebang of landscaping and scenery. I've been mixing more acrylic paint into my portraits along with the watercolor pigments to create a dimensional feel.

Commission for Matt F.

Simple row home drawn for resident of S. 19th Street in Philadelphia! Sometimes houses that have less going on in the front can be more relaxing to draw.

                           

Ginger's house on Mildred Street

I absolutely love this home I finished a few weeks ago. I used to nanny on this street and the gal that commissioned the piece lived on the same block and had a wonderful family and home. She moved out of the city, but wanted to commemorate her time on the quaint little block with a portrait!

Brick house for Rosa M.

Fall/Winter 2014 Commissions

What can I say, I am so guilty of not keeping up with these posts regularly. But luckily, I still get to work on these portraits fairly regularly. Here are jobs from fall to winter of last year. As usual, lots of brick! I believe all of these properties are in the greater Philadelphia area. Until next time!

Spring/Summer Update

Wow! It's been awhile. Time really flies when you end up getting two jobs and trying to keep up with art stuff too. I have still been doing commissions steadily through the madness though! Here are some pieces I've worked on since March. Feel free to click on any of the photos to see a larger view!

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!
