Turn a favorite place, pet, or family moment into a hand-painted watercolor keepsake.
Whether it’s your childhood home, your first house, a family farmhouse, a recently renovated fixer-upper, a beloved pet, or a meaningful place you never want to forget, I create custom watercolor paintings from your photos. Each piece starts with a clean drawing and is painted by hand, giving you a personal piece of art that feels warm, simple, and timeless.
Custom house portraits make thoughtful gifts for homeowners, realtors, newlyweds, parents, grandparents, and anyone with a place that holds a special memory. They are also a great way to celebrate a move, a closing day, an anniversary, a renovation, or a home that has been in the family for generations.
I currently offer custom artwork for:
Watercolor house portraits
Childhood homes, current homes, historic homes, farmhouses, cottages, lake houses, cabins, and family properties.
Pet portraits
Simple, meaningful paintings of dogs, cats, horses, and other animals based on your favorite photo.
Faceless family portraits
A clean, modern portrait style that focuses on the people, pose, clothing, and feeling of the moment without detailed facial features.
Meaningful places
Churches, barns, storefronts, wedding venues, vacation spots, campus buildings, or other locations that matter to you.
After placing your order, please email a clear reference photo along with your name and order number to bmbyars@gmail.com. For house portraits, front-facing photos usually work best, but I can also work from angled photos as long as the main details are visible. If you have anything you would like removed, cleaned up, or simplified — such as cars, trash cans, power lines, seasonal decorations, or background clutter — include that in your notes.
Each commission is painted by hand, so small variations are part of the charm. My goal is not to copy every tiny detail, but to create a piece that captures the character of the home, pet, or memory in a clean watercolor style.
Current turnaround time: 1-2 weeks
Available sizes: 5×7, 8×10 or custom sizes upon request
If you are not sure whether your photo will work, email it over (bmbyars@gmail.com) before ordering and I’ll be happy to take a look.
