House Portrait Commissions

House Portrait in Del Ray
by Jane McElvany Coonce
One of my clients is a contractor.  Every time he finishes a house, he has me paint a house portrait that he gives to his clients as a gift for doing business with him.  I think it's a great way to thank someone for choosing your company, and it is, of course, good business for me.  Some houses are more interesting than others.  This house is a charming one in the Del Ray section of Alexandria.  It's drying on my dash board right now, and I'll put it in a frame and deliver it to Merrill Contracting this week.  Hopefully, the owner will cherish the painting of their new "digs."
