Anna Bates ~ Happy Home Portrait Owner

American Home Portrait Client Anna Bates!

I just recently completed a "Home Portrait" for the "Bates Family" here in Oregon.
They built their home last year and wanted to have me paint a painting that depicts their entire family!
I have more fun painting these types of paintings because it really is the clients story.  
Capturing all the little details from lawn ornaments to the family dog 
is like painting a  tapestry of someones life.
Anna wanted her family shown doing what each loves to do.
Below you can see one of her sons family members camping along the creek behind the house.
  I have included fish in the water, roasting marshmallows and even the tent.

Below you can see her other son with his wife preparing to go ride bikes.
 They even have their cat in the basket with them.  The last photo is of Anna and her husband Greg.
 Greg is playing his guitar and Anna is quilting.
Their dog Enzo is happily watching me paint at the entry to the house.
A Bald Eagle soars overhead and the Bluebirds delight with songs in the trees.
"Home Portraits" come in all shapes and sizes.  They tell "Your" story.
Not one is identical and each life story is unique...providing me an endless joy!
Have a Wonderful Afternoon!
And REMEMBER
 "There is No Place Like Home"
