A Watercolor Portrait That Feels Like Home

Turning a cherished photograph into a hand-painted keepsake carries a certain magic. This watercolor portrait of Trey and me now ranks among our most treasured belongings, and it rests perfectly next to the bed as a daily reminder of our story.

The painting came from Courtney, a fellow baseball girl with genuine talent. She paints in watercolor and can render portraits, houses, churches, or nearly any subject you have in mind. She currently sells her artwork through her Etsy shop, CourtneyGrayArt, and she was a delight to work with from beginning to end. Her turnaround time is under a month, and her Instagram page, courtneygraytucker, is filled with examples of her lovely custom work. I happily recommend her watercolor pieces and fully plan to order from her again.
