Old Friends, New Home

Upper East Side

The phone rang a few months ago, and I was thrilled to hear the voice of one of my favorite clients from quite a few years ago. He asked me to do a new Home Portrait of his family’s town house in NY. He was excited to give this to his wife as a birthday gift and had a fun idea to show the family on the stoop, where they often hang out. The girls would all be on their phones, and the dogs would be having a bit of drama with a passing bruiser.

Country House

Here you can see our original project, of the country house they used to own. Note the girls, much younger, running down the hill from their playhouse. I remember every detail was significant in this painting, and had so much meaning for the family. It was great fun to reconnect with these wonderful people!
