House PortraitsA house portrait—a drawing of a home, church or business—is a special gift, a significant treasure for anyone whose home is close to their heart. This affordable art is beautiful now, and becomes an heirloom as years pass. The artist has made a specialty of house portraits in pen and ink, or in watercolors with pen and ink detail, and has done well over four hundred. (Customer satisfaction is attested by over forty per cent of clients commissioning more house drawings after their original order.)
To order a house portrait, send or email photos of the structure. Include views from different angles, and a close-up of the entrance is always helpful. Include, too, a note with the details to make the drawing special—you can put back the old oak that was struck by lightning, put the family dog in the yard, or remove that shed Mom always hated. Landscaping is free! Fundraisers
For businesses, schools, or churches, these portraits provide fundraising opportunities, or a great way to raise the awareness of employees, students, and parishioners regarding the institution where they work, learn, and worship. Once the original drawing is rendered, it is the property of the business, school, or church and can be used on stationery, web sites, china, and an endless list of additional applications. (Ask about volume discounts if you would like drawings of multiple locations.)
