Progression of a custom ornament

I recently did a custom ornament for a client and thought I'd share a bit of the process:

Initial sketch as I try to figure out general spacing

Last day!

Today is the LAST DAY to order custom items for Christmas! (US domestic shipping)
What great gift ideas! 


 

 

Custom House Portraits

I am excited to announce that I am officially painting custom house portraits!
After having done several over the past year or so by special request, I figured I should open it up as a regular offering. 

 (I can also paint a building -- the place where you got married, a building at school, or a favorite museum, like shown above)

I am offering 2 sizes  - 8x10 inches and 11x14 inches, painted lovingly in watercolors on Arches 140 lb. paper.

I can also "fluff up" the surrounding landscaping and lawn a bit so your home is presented as its best self. (note how green the lawn is and how each bush and tree is at full bloom).

There's still time to order one for the holidays! See listing for details.

Commissioned Paintings

Here are a few custom/commissioned paintings I've done.  
 

 All are watercolor on paper. For buildings, especially, I also use ink. It helps brings more structure to my looser style.

What kind of custom painting would you want?
