Doesn't a custom home portrait belong on a shelf among your family keepsakes? Our homes hold special places in our family histories. Capture these for generation in a commissioned art piece, drawn in ink from your photos.

Or imagine surprising someone with a special gift, a hand drawn portrait of their home. Over many years I’ve produced hundreds of home drawings and developed a style architecturally accurate, while I do my best to artistically capture the personality of the home.

This listing is for a black and white 5”x7” ink drawing and includes an 8”x 10” cream colored mat.

Larger sizes are also available, please see here. https://www.etsy.com/listing/119708874/house-portrait-your-home-drawn-in-ink

Or for a full color, watercolor and ink house portrait, please see this listing, https://www.etsy.com/listing/119604045/painting-of-your-home-in-watercolor-with

This would be a wonderful gift for someone moving, a hostess, housewarming or thank-you gift, a wedding gift for a couple of their first home, or the wedding parents of the homes in which they raised their children. Also favorites are vacation homes and wedding venue portraits, which can be used on stationary.

Please supply several photos if possible, although I can work from one if necessary. Unwanted objects can be moved, (or removed), landscaping, flowering trees, etc. added. Just let me know what you’d like.

Home portraits generally take about four weeks, but please contact me to check current lead times. If you need it quicker, just let me know and I’ll see what I can do. If you need it very quickly, we can do a gift certificate, and have the recipient choose exactly the details they’d like in the portrait.

If you have any questions I'll be happy to answer. You can see more samples on my website, www.maryfrancessmith.com or my Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/maryfrancessmithgallery.

Thank you for your interest.
