What a great opportunity to work with rich terra-cotta colors and classical elements!

This Harlem brownstone is so grand that I knew if we didn't focus on just a section of the structure we'd risk losing much of the detail. - especially since the artwork was being printed at 11"x14". 

In this case we chose to showcase the classic brownstone entry, stairwell and surrounding elements. Doing this allowed me to capture some of the amazing detail, yet still give a sense of what makes this home such a work of art.

I'm including a photo of the whole structure to give an overall feel for just how magnificent and beautifully cared-for this home is.

Last June, I was asked by homeowners Marian and John Scullion
to create a portrait of their Mid-Century Ranch Home. Fantastic!
​South Carolina! ---​a part of the country I haven't gotten a commission from before. I had a great time working with them to capture a likeness of their classic MCM ranch.

To get started, I asked how they decorate their home for the holidays -then started playing. Of course, I added in a few suggestions of my own (it's my nature).

That said...Marian liked what I had done so much, she sent her husband on a mission -to match the decorations in the portrait! Seems Marian thinks John has too much time on his hands.

....you gotta' admit, it's pretty funny. Especially since I'm not the one putting up all those lights under the soffit.

I'm looking forward to working with other past clients who have similar idea about how they might want to reuse their home portrait artwork.

 I have a reasonably priced resource for printing greeting cards, note cards, postcards and invitations. The finished product can be shipped directly to your home. My fee is based on the amount of time to make the alterations to your home portrait and readying the art to send to the printer.

If you're interested in learning more, I'd be happy to speak with you about the possibilities of creating your very own personalized North Pole.
