Home Portraits

Turn a cherished home, meaningful place, or special milestone into a timeless piece of art.

Patti Bishop creates custom commissioned portraits that celebrate the beauty of life’s most meaningful moments. Each piece is thoughtfully hand-created in Patti’s signature artistic style—expressive, detailed, and full of character—making it a keepsake you’ll treasure for years to come.

Whether you’re honoring a family home, capturing the family business, creating a memorable real estate closing gift, or giving a truly personal present, a commissioned home portrait captures story and sentiment in every brushstroke.

Available Styles

Commissioned portraits are available in two distinct styles, allowing you to choose the look that best fits your vision:

  • Traditional Watercolor – Soft, luminous watercolor painting with hand-mixed colors and gentle detail.

     

  • Multi-Toned Pencil Drawing on Toned Paper – A richly layered drawing using multiple pencil tones on tinted paper for depth, contrast, and a classic feel.

     

What to Expect

Every portrait is created with care and attention to detail, using high-quality Daniel Smith Extra Fine Watercolors™ on Arches cold press paper. Patti works from your reference photos to ensure the finished piece reflects the heart and character of your subject while maintaining an artistic, timeless feel.

Pricing

Commissioned portraits start at $400 for an 8" x 10" original artwork, professionally matted to fit an 11" x 14" cellophane sleeve—perfect for gifting or framing.

Larger sizes and additional customization options may be available upon request.

  • Housewarmings & new homeowners

  • Capturing the family business location

  • Real estate closing gifts
