House Portraits

by

Joyce McKay

"Joyce, you were the perfect artist 
for our house portrait... 
You felt the home, not just the house.
You even included our beloved puppy 
on the front stoop!"

A house is made 
of walls and beams, 
but a home is made 
of love and dreams.

"I don't really paint house portraits," says Kennebunk, Maine artist Joyce McKay. "I paint home portraits. I love capturing the true feeling of a person's home, revealing a sense of who lives inside. I love to let the owner's personalities come through, by including a family pet peeking out behind a curtain, a garden rake leaning up against a picket fence, or a puff of smoke circling around an old brick chimney."

The Ultimate Gift

Imagine an actual painting of your home, rendered in vibrant acrylics, hanging above your fireplace or mantle. Don't be fooled -- these are not simply photographs that are scanned and computer-enhanced. Each is an authentic painting, a true work of art, rendered one brush stroke at a time. A full-time professional artist, Joyce McKay's paintings are alive with the vibrancy of sunlight and shadow, highlighting the beauty of a home's architecture and landscaping.

Your house portrait instantly becomes a treasured family heirloom, to be handed down from generation to generation.

It's an exquisite gift for yourself, your family, or anyone special to you.

A house portrait is the perfect gift for:

 ~ wedding or anniversary
 ~ housewarming
 ~ birthday
 ~ relocation
 ~ new business

With Joyce's 30 years experience as an artist, and her unique talent for capturing both the look and feelings of a home, this may be the ultimate gift for you -- or the very special people in your life.

Through your painting, and our memories, we will take it wherever we go. Thank you so much!"

A personal note from Joyce

My goal is to make each house portrait a lovely painting of a special place. I especially enjoy making the house take on a life of its own.

For example, I love to add a bird flying across the yard, leaves blowing in a summer breeze, or warm sunlight shining on your doorstep. These tiny details hint that your home has its own life, and that you and your family are part of its history. 

Many years from now, should a stranger come upon one of my house portraits at a gallery or antique shop, they will know this house was loved indeed. 

What a lovely tribute to your happy home!
