Beautiful house portraits drawn in pencil

House portrait drawings by Darla Dixon are a great way to remember the places you've lived.

I work from your photograph(s) of your house to create a memorable portrait for you. A custom pencil portrait like this of your house makes a heartwarming new home gift! The drawing can depict any season, regardless of the season shown in the photograph. I can also add landscaping or remove elements that are undesirable.

A Real Estate professional's comment on my house portraits

"The sellers were jealous!"
~Donna, who ordered six house portraits for clients in 2007.

Typical closing gift ideas

Although beautiful, and the prices are lower than something custom, these do not have the business investment value that a custom house portrait has. The portrait will be on the client's wall, working for you every day and proudly shown off to all visitors to the home. I just can't say the same about most other gifts you could select.

House portraits for real estate agents

Before you order yet another fruit basket for a closing gift, ask yourself how long perishable gifts like that will work for you.

Unfortunately, the fruit will be eaten or go bad eventually...and maybe the family will use the basket to keep their old Reader's Digest magazines in a corner of their living room, but it's certainly not going to work for you as a repeat sales marketing tool.

A handmade house portrait of the new home just purchased or the home just sold makes a wonderful closing gift for clients. I create pencil portraits based on the photos you provide. It's so easy to order, because you usually already have good photos of the home. The photos can be emailed to me.

Currently, most homes are drawn in 8"x10" image size on 11"x14" paper. I draw the artwork centered so that the image will show well in an 11x14 mat with an 8x10 opening. All you will need to do is get an 11x14 frame at your location. Many ready-made picture frames you can purchase in stores come with a mat included. Some real estate agents buy several good quality, yet inexpensive frames at once - knowing they will be ordering several portraits through the year.

For an additional reasonable fee, I can handletter your name and agency at the bottom center of the drawing, so your information will be on the artwork for everyone to see for years. This is one closing gift that will be kept!
