Boston Custom House Portrait

Boston Paintings

This Boston custom house portrait remains one of my favorites. A client commissioned  a watercolor of their brownstone rowhouse in Boston as a unique Christmas present for their spouse. In particular, the client requested inclusion of the view of the iconic Prudential building. Painting the Prudential reminded me of the paintings I created when I lived just over the Charles River in Cambridge. This project allowed me to reconnect with that Boston time in my life with real joy.

Custom House Portrait Gifts

Creating a custom house portrait has become a regular and enjoyable part of my commissioned work. I joyfully create unique gift and memories of  home for collector’s and their families.

In addition to birthdays or holidays, a custom house portrait can also be a special closing gift for a luxury home. This painting from the Chicago area was commissioned by the seller’s agent for the family who was moving away. Whatever the occasion, a custom watercolor portrait of a family’s house becomes a representation of the heart and memories which have come to reside in that space.

What are the places in your life that have meaning for you and your family and loved ones? Give the gift of an heirloom by commissioning a custom watercolor of a place significant to you and yours.

    Hi Michelle!

    My name is Jen and I am interested in getting a painting commissioned. I’m  wanting an oil painting done 18x 24 of my boyfriends family home they are selling with all the dogs they ever had in the home. It would be a total of 8 dogs.

    Would you be able to do this by mid June and what would the cost look like? I want it on thin canvas so I can frame it in a thick silver frame.

    Thank you so much look forward to hearing from you .
