The Home Portraits

Some homes have delightful little nuances that pique your interest and draw your eyes into a search for more.

Some homes glow in a unique color scheme that speak to the fun of the inhabitant and contrast beautifully with a perfectly manicured landscape.

Many of these homes hold generational stories that beg to be captured before a wave of architectural or life changes begin a new chapter.

U & L's Beautiful Homeversary

Coconut Ave. House #1 near Diamond Head

I always run by this house when I do my Diamond Head run on Oahu. Love the look and feel of this house - little old style with the lava rocks and framing, little new style with the garage and solar panels.

9th Ave.

45th St. Sacramento

I love the orange and red trim. She mentioned wanting a purple front door, but having had one attempt with not the right shade and reverting it back to the red, she’s not sure if it will happen. I’m desperately hoping it will. Then I’d have to do another portrait to capture the gorgeousness of the perfectly purple door popping out from the orange and red.

37th Street

The first one that started all this house portrait fun! Was out running in East Sac and ran past this vibrant yellow home with a beautiful wood door and I decided to come back the next day to draw it. Left it with the owner who used to be an architect and built his own beautiful door. 2022

Seu's house 2.

Tried something different with a brush pen Phillip introduced me to. I really like it. It’s got attitude and sway in those palms and lines.

Seu's House

Forgot to scan this in before sending it off in order to make it in time as a Christmas commission gift, so a rough iPhone photo will have to do. Would have been nice to do this one onsite, but I wasn’t able to jump over to Oahu for the in-person sketch and study.
