A couple of years ago, my Realtor and friend asked me to do a small painting as a closing gift for his client. Since then, I have accepted commissions for custom home portraits through word of mouth and through my online shop on Etsy.com. My favorite part about doing these home portraits is getting to hear about and see the client's reaction to a painting of something that is so personal to them. Visit my shop at http://www.etsy.com/shop/jcellsworth
