(Regarding Framed Print of the Original Portrait on Right)
"Every day I walk downstairs, enter my kitchen, and I see the home I grew up in.  Even though it was done from a photo, there is something special about this water color painting that brings out the warmth and natural feeling of something created the same way a family was created while we lived there.  Subtle shadings and small deviations add warmth to this scene that were not in the photo had we simply had it blown up and framed.  To truly immortalize something special in your life, have Eileen Slifer paint it for you -- it will add warmth and joy to your life!"--Donald Dutton

(Above) "I commissioned Eileen to paint our family home. My parents bought this house in 1955; Dad moved out in 2009 and sold the house. When the painting was presented to Dad and hung in his new room, tears of joy flowed."--Michael Dutton

(Above) "Eileen really captured our Maine summer home. My sister and I commissioned the watercolor as a Christmas gift for our parents and they were thrilled with it. It hangs in their year-round home as a reminder of treasured summers past and those to come."

(Above)  "When I knew that we were going to move out of our first home, I asked Eileen to paint a portrait of it.  I gave some photos of it to her, and she also spent some time studying the house itself.  The finished product is a cherished reminder of a place that was very special to my family.  It is absolutely beautiful and exactly captures what the house looked like on a sunny summer day."--Becky Silva
