Historic House Commission

16 x 23 Commission

I just completed this.  The home is in Canton Center, Connecticut, and looks much like in the painting.  The General Store and school house are historic representations with creative sizing and placement. The church behind the house is actually still there.

I just finished this commission of a New Hartford, Connecticut home. I'm planning on going back to my underwater series, possibly starting with a Parrot Fish and coral.

I finished this commission yesterday. The house is in Simsbury, CT. It took about 45 hours of painting over almost a month. Sorry for the lack of posts!

House and garden portrait

I finished this house portrait on Friday for a woman who is giving it as a gift to her parents. Next, she will give them note cards of the painting for a Christmas gift. The house is in Vernon, Connecticut. Nice garden!

Commission completed Dec. 20, 2008

I finished painting this Canton, Connecticut home on Friday after many long hours. If you recognize the house, please don't rush out and call the owners because it is a surprise for one of them! The person who commissioned it hasn't even seen it yet. Jeff just taught me how to take a photo of the painting with indoor lighting, and here it is. I thought I was going to have to wait for the snow to stop to shoot outside like I have done in the past. Thanks Jeff!

Sorry for the lack of posts this month. Thanksgiving, lots of no school for the kids and a zillion other things have limited my painting time. Now I'm ready to paint more and the kids have 12 days off of school in a row starting 1:10 on Tuesday! I WILL paint anyway! Now that this painting is done I am going back to the birds. I am almost done with a Yellow Warbler. :)
