Own a watercolor painting of your property, created from your own photographs. Provide color photos and also include any special instructions or preferences, such as seasonal changes, day/night reversal, holiday decorations.  Photo shoots for sites local to the Berkshires in western Massachusetts can be done by the artist.

     Your finished product will consist of a signed original painting, done on heavy, high quality watercolor paper ready for framing. Be sure to inquire about framing discounts at some local professional framers.

• - Frame, hang and enjoy;

• - Scan into your own software program and create your own personal notepaper, cards, stationery;

• - Have printed onto a needlepoint or embroidery canvas;

• - Bring to any print shop, which can then scan the painting and assist you in designing professional stationery, business cards, novelty items (tee shirts, mugs, wine labels).
