COMMISSION AN ORIGINAL PAINTING OF YOUR HOME
As a house grows into a home, it develops a distinct personality and a place in our hearts. A truly wonderful way to celebrate a home’s character and importance is by commissioning a portrait, which will become a treasured keepsake for generations.
Susan Stillman, an award winning and widely published artist, has been creating Home Portraits since 1989, providing a creative interpretation that surpasses the capability of photography, pen and ink drawings or watercolors. She works in the rich, painterly style of George Bellows and Edward Hopper. Her acrylics are alive with the vibrancy of sunlight and shadow, revealing the beauty of architectural and landscape elements.
A Home Portrait is a perfect gift for yourself and your family, or for anyone special to you.
