The Family That Plays Together, Stays Painted in a House Portrait Together

watercolor custom home portrait with family

When this Huntington Woods client asked if I could illustrate their house and add their playful family into the scene, I absolutely agreed!


It's one of the questions I get most often about commissions: Can you combine a house portrait with a family portrait? The answer is yes, with a couple conditions.


I can't fit all of those elements into a smaller size piece. There just isn't enough room for everyone (and all of their personalities) to shine. But with a larger size--like this 16x20--and quality reference photos, I can happily bring the whole scene to life. People, pets, cars, front yard antics? I'm here for painting all of it.


This particular portrait turned out so joyful--dad and the kids playing in the yard, while the grandparents watch from the porch with the kind of smiles that say, this is what life's all about.


It's not just a house. Or just a family. It's a special memory, captured forever in watercolor. What can I paint for you?
