Christmas is one of the most popular times of year for home portrait paintings and this holiday season is no exception. After all, custom watercolor paintings are the perfect gift for those who say they have everything—nobody can ever have enough art, especially when it's personalized!
Last year, this client commissioned a painting of her childhood home in Libertyville, Illinois as a Christmas gift for her mother. I was given several reference photos and asked to use the landscaping design from the summer scene but with an autumn color scheme, most notably for the very large maple tree in the foreground.
From painting the enormous maple to the hundreds of hand-painted bricks, this piece was truly a exercise in patience and trusting my process.
As a parent, I can imagine how touching it must have been for a mom to receive such a thoughtful gift from her child on Christmas morning. Just another reason I love playing Santa every year!
