A House Portrait from Midland Park, New Jersey

by Jennifer Skopp

A woman hired Jennifer Skopp to create this Watercolor House Portrait to give to her brother and future sister-in-law for a wedding gift. They recently bought this house, which is located in Midland Park, New Jersey.

The house is built on a hill. The front of the house is on the top of the hill and the back of the house goes down to the backyard. This two-story house has white siding and a dark gray roof. The house is covered with brown and gray stones underneath the white siding. There are two pitched roofs and a dormer window.

The white front door has two narrow windows on each side. There is a double window to the left of the front door and another to the right of the front door. Two steps lead to the front entrance. Right in front of the house is a row of shrubs. In front of that is a lawn. A path leads from the front door to the right and then leads to the sidewalk. Behind the house are tall trees and to the right, on the lawn, is a magnificent old tree with a large hole.
