House portrait commissions come to me by referral many times. It is especially gratifying when a client comes back again and again with a new request and a new painting they would like to have me create.
This lovely family home has many memories for this client and the recipient of the painting. I am honored when someone shares with me their memories, feelings and family history. It allows me to become more connected with the recipient and their life. It also stays on my mind as I work through the details and intricacies that go into capturing and interpreting a piece.
At times potential clients do not think their family home or residence merits a portrait. I try to encourage them to look at not only the building they are considering but the memories, emotions, milestones, joys and sorrows that happened in that building. I strive to capture the feeling of a home, not just a structure.
