ADDITIONAL OFFERINGS
Custom Watercolors
A commissioned watercolor painting captures your affection of any place. I paint architectural portraits of private homes, businesses, town halls, historic sites, vacation homes & preparatory schools and colleges. The possibilities are endless!
Pastel Paintings
Painting landscapes with pastels provides an artist to use color to high effect. Sometimes I choose one color to create harmony in a painting, in other works I’ll introduce a contrasting color to add excitement and energy.
School Prints
Display pride for your alma mater and bring yourself back to the preparatory school, college, or university where you spent the best years of your life. A custom school print makes the perfect gift for graduations or anytime.
Other Products
I offer a variety of coasters, cards & wine stoppers featuring my artwork, in unique sets for gift giving. Contact me for special orders, & follow me on Facebook to see product views of these artful inspired items available for sale.
I’ve commissioned nearly a dozen Choate Studio home watercolor paintings to give as gifts to clients to mark the special occasion of them buying a home.
The unique and artful Italian marble coasters is a terrific item to give in large numbers as business gifts!
