Portraits of the Home in Pen & Ink

Here's a selection of some of the pen and ink portraits I've done in recent years. Many of them are in Chicago/the Chicagoland area.

What I love is looking back on the homes and remembering some of the personal or specific building details requested: a cat in the window, a potted plant, a brick detail. For many, it would be the portrait a home that they were leaving behind, so the details that made the home *theirs* became especially important, but bittersweet.

I'll get around to updating this with other home/building portraits in my collection periodically.
