House Portraits by Elena Roche

House Portrait Commissions

This house portrait of the Smith Residence in spring was the fourth commission that Elena Roché was asked to do in an area of art that was, until recently, new to her: a house portrait.  But art is art and a portrait, even a house portrait, is fair game for her considerable and wide ranging talent.  This house drawing was executed in graphite and charcoal pencil on museum board.

Her first house portrait commission, a soft, dreamy graphite and charcoal rendering, may be seen here and her second, a cheerful colored pencil cottage here.  The third was a more precise graphite and charcoal.

If you have succeeded in making a home of your house; if you have reached that point to where it's now the "home place", then perhaps it's time to immortalize the moment for generations to come and commission a house portrait.
