House Portrait Samples
 

 

Vermont Home

This is a complex treatment of brick and overlying shadow. The early morning light makes for a dramatic composition.

 

 

Winter Retreat

A snowy home, surrounded by Japanese maples. This one was painted no larger than 6 x 9 and is a small gem.

 

 

 

Colorful Colonial

The garden blooms are mirrored by the trim colors of this beautiful home. In this case the driveway works along with the decorative fence, and leads you into the composition.

 

 

 

New York Brownstone

Apartments are also homes and create atmospheric scenes with touches of the bustling city.

 

 

White Colonial

A white house is always my favorite to paint and this historical home has great stone work which provides contrast and texture. The bright sun balances against the darker landscape.

 

Carpenter Gothic

A beautiful home, which was largely obscured by trees. Architectural details were interpolated from photos from varying angles.

Colonial in the Snow

Snow is melting and it is time to go sledding !

 

 

Stone and Clapboard

A commission for a couple retiring to a "holiday" home, but wanting a constant reminder of the wonderful years spent here.

Jamaica Home

This is a fantastic composition including  lots of familial memorabilia as well as botanical and animal references.

 

Elm Avenue in Spring

This is a recent commission completed from photos provided from my client. To improve upon the photos, perspective was altered and many obstructing branches were removed.

 

Decorated for the 4th

This home is ready for a big Independence Day celebration. This painting was executed in a more loose and painterly style.

Maine Church

This was painted from photos that my clients provided, and from summer photos we created a scene in autumn.

 

 

Shaded Walkway

A recent commission given as a gift to the grandparents who could no longer continue to live in this shaded home.

 

 

Elm Avenue in Snow

Winter shows off the details better than any other season. Note the lab on the front porch steps !

 

Montclair Colonial

Spring was created in this commission, ripe with Montclair's prevalent azaleas. I also had to move tree and eliminate driveways to enhance the painting.
