A House Portrait from Somerset, New Jersey

by Jennifer Skopp

Jennifer was commissioned to create this watercolor house portrait by a realtor, to give to her client as a closing gift. The house is in Somerset, New Jersey. The client was very emotional about leaving this house, so the realtor wanted to do something special for her.

This yellow house is one level. There is a gray pitched roof with one dormer window. A path from the driveway leads to the entrance, which has three stairs. There is a bay window on the right side and a much smaller window on the left. Shrubs and flowers border the front of the house and there is a low brick divider between the path and lawn.

On the right side of the house, there is a carport. This is the first time Jennifer has come across that in the New Jersey suburbs.
