The images on this website DO NOT SHOW THE TRUE QUALITY of the portraits - to understand how much has been lost during the transfer to the internet, please read the customer's comments!
The close-up pictures are a bit better, but they are still not as good as the actual portraits are.

OIL ON CANVAS

"I got to open it on Saturday and what a lovely job you did...I cannot wait to give the picture to my future husband...I was originally going to give it to him when I was NOT there on the morning of our wedding, but I have decided that I want to see the look on his face when he opens it, so I will wait until that evening. It actually brought a tear to my eye to FINALLY be able to see what our house will someday look like after all the construction is done!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!"

"Again, I cannot thank you enough for the beautiful painting...we love it so much...It helps us to now see what we have envisioned in our mind for such a long time. It also now helps us to stay motivated and keep moving forward during our construction. Thank you thank you thank you. I have already given your name and website to several people...I cannot recommend you enough!!!"

This painting was created by combining photos of the existing house and blueprints of proposed construction.

"Oh my God………………. I am sooooo thrilled with the portrait. You are phenomenal. It’s going to be so hard to hold onto it until Christmas. I finally snuck into the bathroom, opened it up and just stood there totally amazed. This is probably the best Christmas present he’s ever gotten.

"Our dog's likeness is remarkable. Considering you only had photos to work with – I’m truly impressed.

"Thanks again for your hard work. It has been an absolute pleasure working with you."

COMPOSED FROM THESE PHOTOS:

The majority of the photos were taken during November, but the house was painted as if it were summer. The arbor was scaled down so that it did not block the view of the home.
