Watercolor Home Painting Commission

ALL ORIGINAL HOUSE PAINTING ORDERS PLACED ON OR AFTER 12/2/24 WILL BE COMPLETED IN 2025 - If you would like to gift a commissioned piece of art for Christmas 2024, please email me at gabyrddesigns@gmail.com about getting a gift certificate in the mail to you before Christmas!

Celebrate, memorialize, and honor your home or the home of friends or family with an original watercolor home portrait print. Home portraits make a wonderful gift for newlyweds, new home owners, or those who have moved to or from a beloved home. 

House portraits feature a simple ink drawing which is then watercolored with care and attention to detail. A hand lettered name, a short message (e.g. The Byrds, or The Johnsons have moved), address, or date can be added if desired. Use the "Name" box to type what you would like written, exactly as typed (we can decide on formatting, spacing, etc. throughout the design process).

Once your order has been placed, please email me at gabyrddesigns@gmail.com with attached photos of the house.

Instructions for taking and sending pictures:
Straight-on pictures taken on a cloudy day (or at a time where there are not major shadows) work the best.
Let me know if there is anything in the pictures that you don't want featured in the painting, and please include photos from several angles if there is something you don't want included in the painting that is hiding part of the house (e.g. if you don't want a huge tree in the front yard pictured, please send a picture that shows the part of the house that the tree is hiding so I can piece it together).
I do not include vehicles, people, or pets in my paintings. I will include the foliage, landscaping, and sky surrounding the house, unless you specify otherwise (e.g. one client asked that I not include any sky in her paintings, as you can see in the pictures for this listing).
Please include any lettering you would like, such as the family's name, the address or city, etc. I can do the lettering in cursive or all caps.
Once the photos are received and the design has been agreed upon, the print will be shipped or available for pickup within 1-4 weeks (you will be notified if the details of your order require more time).

This painting is for personal use by the customer ONLY, and may not be reproduced for business, marketing, re-sale, or any other purposes without express permission from Grace Anne Byrd Designs (GABD).
