A recent commission for a client who wanted to give her neighbor a keepsake work of art of their home as they are moving. She let me know today how much her neighbor loved the thought along with having a special memory of her old drive.I love how a street, an avenue or a drive or a boulevard can hold so many memories. Saying good-bye to a home is never easy, but celebrating a home with a keepsake work of art can really make the move sweeter.

Gorgeous painting, just love your art work.
There IS something very special about having a precious picture of one's home - where memories are made and life unfolds. Love the house in this picture!
Frau-

pretty pink-
truly, with each and every illustration, i think of the memories inside and out of a home. the families, pets, celebrations, and all. wishing you a wonderful day - hope it unfolds with pretty flowers.

I love this, but then I love all your work! What a lovely client you have there too. K xx
So thoughtful - and beautiful!
A home can tell a story...one that is rich in all that life offers.
Beautiful painting Patricia.
A wonderful gift for a friend. I love your home illustrations. Actually I love everything you paint! xo
Oh it's so hard to say goodbye.
PVE,
How perfect and sweet this is. Your prints would be lovely printed on a garden bib apron, tote bag and tee shirts for a home owner. I love this print it says "I'm home".

That is so so thoughtful- what a great neighbor to have living near by- I wish to live in a neighborhood like that one day.
How kind of her neighbor to do that. Love the painting.
I have always loved the idea of a painting in remembrance of a home much loved. Beautiful Patricia!

I'll have to remember that if we ever decide to move. I doubt that we ever will, but I never say never! Carla
Beautiful work and such a thoughtful gift. Just love your work:)
What a nice thing for her neighbor to do. I wish I had one of your drawings of my old house....hmmmmmm. --Gretchen O.
Makes me want to walk right in and have tea! You sure know how to make a house into a Home Sweet Home~ xxx
What a lovely gesture... Wish I could send you to the Belgian countryside so that you could "drive by" our childhood home!
What a thoughtful and caring neighbor to give such a beautiful gift. Well done for the artist and the gift-giver.

Just perfect, as usual! xx
This is charming - and I'm especially loving your american fashion prints. So classic! You need to do Kate Spade's next book... !
