A House Portrait from Springfield, New Jersey

by Jennifer Skopp

This client lives in Springfield, New Jersey, which is the same town Jennifer lives in. She saw the House Portrait that Jennifer did for another Springfield resident, and she also wanted her Yorkie to appear in the window.

The client was in the process of selling her smaller home in Springfield and moving to a larger house in the same town. The Watercolor House Portrait would serve as a memento of her family’s life in that home.

This house has a small, covered porch. There are two pitched roofs. The small home is beige colored with dark pink shutters. The new owners removed the shutters. A curved walkway leads from the street to the small flight of steps to the porch. The fence and columns around the porch are white. Flowers and shrubs line the front of the house and are planted within a curved shape.

Jennifer and the client discussed which season the House Portrait should take place in. The client decided that it should be Autumn.
