***PLEASE READ: I can not stress the importance of quality images of houses. I paint and draw DIRECTLY from the image, so colors may appear different on my screen then in real life.. Examine your image and make sure to list colors or scenery if you are worried your image may differ. Remember that I have never seen the location before so the image is the only thing I have to go off. Feel free to include in the messages any details or message me directly. **Even if your order has been processes - I CAN'T START until I have received your images. Don't forget because I would love to get back to you as soon as possible to ensure that your locations are documented in the more perfect way! // Be sure to keep your eye out for my name in your emails after your order has been placed. I DO NOT ACCEPT ANY REFUNDS OR EXCHANGES. These custom orders take time and planning, please be considerate of my time and efforts in creating this work of art. I am so excited our paths have crossed and I can’t wait to hear more about you and your watercolor needs! .......................................................................................................................... 1 // Select and purchase the size portrait you would like. The orientation (portrait or landscape) will be based on the shape of your home. 2 // In an e-mail ([email protected]) or through conversations, please send a full-color, high quality, clear, front-facing photo in daylight of the house you would like painted. Please include any words you would like added to the painting (address, 'our first home', 'home sweet home,' etc.) 3 // Await delivery of your hand painted house portrait! Current turn-around time is about 1-2 weeks after receiving your image. I will do my best to accommodate rush orders and shipments - in this case please send an Etsy message before purchasing the listing in the rare chance we cannot meet your deadline. I get most excited about personal works of art, because I enjoy the sentimental value. I believe that through art I can help establish a space that welcomes the opportunity to grow, love, and create memories with all those around. ..........................................................................................................................
