In 2015 I created house portraits for two families from my church parish at that time, when I lived in Alabama. The first commission was for Lou and Bobby Greene, who have a unique and beautiful home on the waterfront in Courtland, Alabama.
When Lou’s sister and brother-in-law saw my work, they commissioned me to do their home, too, which was not far from the first location in Courtland.
“I have two paintings that Eileen has painted for Dot and I. One is of my house and the other is of the altar window of our church, which we gave to my father.
Both show her excellent attention to detail.
We couldn’t be more pleased with these works.”
~ Bobby Straub, Courtland, Alabama
The joy I feel when clients communicate their feelings about my work and how gifts were received brings such meaning to all I do and strive for as an artist. I am humbled when I think about the number of people who have personal and family keepsakes in their homes all across the United States and some pieces abroad. Many of these works will be passed down through generations. I am grateful to God for the gift He has given me and my good fortune of being able to work as a full-time artist.
