About this portrait
A custom house portrait, hand-painted digitally by a real artist from your photo, then printed, framed and sent to you. Choose watercolour, oil or sketch, each painted in our house style.
Keep the house after you've left it. Your artist paints it from your photos, stroke by stroke from a blank canvas: cars out of the driveway, bins moved, the garden the way you remember it. No AI. No filters.
Upload a photo of the house when you order, or send it later. A sketch preview of your portrait arrives in 1–3 days, then the first look of your artwork, with the time-lapse, 1–3 days after you approve it. Ask for any changes to the house at the sketch, before it's painted.
Add the address, the year you moved in, or a line of your own below it. Want family or pets out front? Add them as you order, and you'll see the total before you check out. Buying for a client? We can send it straight to them, ready to hang.
Landscape sizes: 10 × 8, 16 × 12, 24 × 18 or 36 × 24 in. 10 × 8, 16 × 12 and 24 × 18 in come framed in Matt Black, White or Red Oak. From 16 × 12 in there's canvas, and 16 × 12 and 24 × 18 in come as an unframed print (Poster Only). Framed portraits arrive ready to hang.

I shared two pictures of the house and asked the artist to combine elements from each image, and what I liked about each photo. It turned out perfect!

We loved bringing your vision to life and really appreciate the thought you put into sharing those details with us — it makes all the difference. So happy to hear the final piece turned out just the way you hoped! Anna @ Welham & Co
The recipent lost his wife last year. He hired me to sell his family home on property that has been in his family for decades. He can hang this is his new home and still have a part of his last that he shared with his beloved wife. I love being able to have these special homes memorialized for clients that are moving on from a place they still love but need to move from. He was really touched. We were both in tears.

I ordered this as a housewarming gift and the couple I gave it to absolutely loved it. It came out beautiful and luckily arrived the day before the party. The company was easy to work with. When they sent the proof, I want them to try to see if they could make the image sharper and they did.
Store owner replied: Hi Dorothy, Thank you so much for trusting us with your housewarming gift! We are so glad to hear that the portrait was well-received. We can't wait to create more artworks for you soon! Anna @ Welham and Co
My clients absolutely loved the portrait! They immediately scrambled through packing boxes to find their favorite frame and hung it up as fast as possible!
I am a realtor who gives this as closing gift to people who have lived in their home at least 10 years. Rose and her husband lived in the home for 22 years, where they raised their 3 children. They both love the watercolor!!
I haven’t put it on the wall yet because it’s a gift so it’s hidden away but this is my second purchase and I love them and can imagine them in the walls when we’re old and telling our grandkids all the stories of our homes ❤️
Absolutely love it! Thank you
I love the sketch. It was very easy to order. I got an email to proof in a day or two. It was very affordable and I received my clients housewarming gift within a week including shipping. I am certain that my clients will love this gift.
I wanted to display the joy of owning my first home! This was a perfect way to display my joy of owning my first home hung in my entryway for everyone to see!
I ordered this watercolor a few weeks ago and was totally blown away by the picture! Welham is amazing! The picture I sent was not the best quality and some things had to be eliminated from the finished product and as usual, Welham did not disappoint! This is the fourth time I purchased watercolors from them. Three were give as gifts and the recipients were so amazed by my gift! This print is for me. It’s a very important part of my life and now it’s hung in my new home. Bravo, Welham!
Ordered this photo of our old house, so many memories, it is so perfect! Thank you!
Bought this for my aunt and uncle who recently had to sell their beloved vacation home in upstate NY. They absolutely loved it!
Looks beautiful and I like the larger size I ordered.. I am very pleased.. great Christmas gift for my son and daughter-in-law who just purchased this new home…
The artists got it right after quite a few back and forth approvals! Love the finished product!
The Copp Family loved the Watermark photo of their new home! I went with the 16x12 Matte Black Frame option, and it came out great. I think that is the perfect size, and we are about to order a couple photos for our home! I am a realtor and I got the photo for a client, but I think it would be a great gift to anyone or even to yourself to hang in your own home. Welham is a great company and I would highly recommend!
Reggie and Samantha sold their house with me. They were very impressed with their gift! Thank you
I love this sketch. It is beautiful and looks just like the photo I sent. I cannot wait to give as a gift. Great quality.
My clients always enjoy receiving their gifts from you.
Beautiful job! I purchased this for my son and his wife who recently bought their 1st home. I can't wait to give this to them for Christmas. Thank you for creating such a wonderful gift!
The process was so easy and the end product was so good for the price!
So happy with results and so excited to give to my parents
This family home has been ours for 3 generations . It is as special to have this gift.
Excellent again! An awesome option for a thank you gift for our home sellers. Welham exceeds expectations in the 3 critical areas for us: - Quality of painting - Affordability - Dependability (always delivered before the closing) Thanks, Brian Patt
I have been trying to find a vendor to do this for a couple of months. Did some searching and found this company by accident. Super fast, detailed, communicative, and reasonable. Great job and my clients loved it!
The very big positive with this company is, they do unlimited edits until we get satisfied. Preview arts were also quick and the delivery is also very quick. Finally the output of the picture is great. Very satisfied, will definitely recommend this and I will come back.
We ordered the 12x 16 watercolor portrait for our neighbors as a moving present It is beautiful and they love it. A lasting reminder of their first home. Customer service was excellent and patient with my questions and edits!! Highly recommend. Thank you.
Great experience. My portrait needed one revision which was done quickly. Shipped and arrived in time for the recipient’s birthday!

We will definitely reconsider -
Pat D. I was so happy with my first picture of our Grands and Great-grands that I ordered another one with our grown kids. Getting everyone together at they same time is such a hassle. You listened to what I wanted and I absolutely love the pictures. I will order again! Thank you!
