These are a few of my most recent commissioned pieces.
Antebellum Historical Home
This is a historical home in a rural area not too far from our city. It is an antebellum home that I was asked to draw as a gift for the owner by his daughter. I absolutely love the architecture and character of this home, with the gingerbread detailing around the porch and long windows across the front. I love doing historical homes, especially ones that I know have been around hundreds of years.
And here it is (below) hung in the home of the happy new owner.
Lovely Brick Architecture
This was a commission as a gift for my client’s parents. I love the architecture of this home. Drawing all those bricks can be a little tedious, but I really do enjoy it. I know that it would drive some artists crazy, but it’s the architectural details that I just love about these pieces.
For One of My Bridesmaids
One of my sweet friends from college, who was a bridesmaid in our wedding 30 years ago, wanted to surprise her husband with a drawing of the house they have lived and raised their three girls in for close to 20 years. What a joy to do that for her.
It’s such a privilege to get to be a part of these types of gift giving and surprises in honor of special events in people’s lives. I am so thankful the Lord has allowed me to do something I love doing so much..
You draw to perfection, my friend! Your drawings actually make their home look so much better than they are. The one photo has an arch and I didn't see it until I looked at your drawing. Your work is exquisite.
ReplyDeleteWhat stunning and precious keepsakes!
ReplyDeleteI came looking for you today... 🙂
ReplyDeleteYour work is exceptional. What lovely homes. It is no wonder that their owners want them honored with a personal portrait or print. And what a great gift idea, too.
Hope that you and your family have arrived safely and well in 2018. All the best...
