“We were thrilled to receive our house portrait as a gift. Having seen some of Kathleen’s other work before, we know how amazingly talented she is. Still, until you see your own portrait hanging on the wall, you can’t appreciate her talents to the fullest degree. We have never thought our house looked more beautiful than in Kathleen’s house portrait.” ~Sarah & Brad
“My husband and I sold our house last June after 19 years. We raised our four children there and enjoyed three dogs that meant the world to our kids. We wanted a sentimental reminder of all our happy times in our home and Kathleen gave us just that. She created a beautiful, detailed portrait of our home from photos that we gave her detailing our dogs and the mailbox that my Dad painted for us with love. It was very important for me to have the mailbox included and Kathleen was able to recreate it perfectly. The memories that Kathleen’s portrait gives us each time we look at it are priceless. To have a house portrait done by Kathleen is something very special that you can give to yourself/yourselves and your family.” ~Charlie & Maureen
“The best closing gifts I have ever given and continue to do so are the beautiful home paintings by Kathleen McNally. These paintings continue to warm the hearts of the homeowners who have lived there for many years and who have brought up their children there as well. There have been tears shed after opening these gifts. It’s the best gift you could ever give: MEMORIES.” ~Karen Neve, Real Estate Broker, RE/MAX On The River, Middleton, Massachusetts.
“I am so grateful and in awe — thank you Kathleen! You are absolutely dazzling in every way and your work speaks for itself. Before we’d even broken ground on our home, I knew I wanted Kathleen to create a watercolor house portrait for our family. This was such a fun process. Thank you, Kathleen, for capturing this moment, this place — the kids, the dogs, the geese (aka ‘Jamie’ and ‘Claire’)…. I love it! Our house is finally complete. ~Sarah
“Every time I look at our house portrait, I can’t help but smile. Not only is our home so beautifully and realistically captured — with the sun shining and our gardens blooming — but my children too are blooming and blossoming! Kathleen was able to capture my four boys’ personalities and mannerisms perfectly in the portrait. Our boys are growing so quickly, and not only do I have a wonderful representation of my home, but also a fantastic memory of what my kids looked and acted like many years ago. I’m so glad we included my kids in the portrait — it makes it so much more than a house portrait, but a true snapshot and lovely, meaningful memory of our lives and our family.” ~Tara
“When my parents celebrated their 50th anniversary, my 4 brothers and I gave them a beautiful “Kathleen McNally” original watercolor of our summer house and gardens in Maine. Our parents were so touched by this lovely gift. It was not just a picture of a house, but a striking portrait of the gathering place for 4 generations of our family; a memento of many happy summers spent in a well-loved cottage by the sea. My parents have passed away now and Kathleen’s painting still holds its place as a lasting memory of them.” ~Marion
“It may well have been the best received present ever. Kathleen, I wish you could have been there to soak up praises for your work in person. Thank you x 1,000! ~Your fan, Tony
“We wanted to show our appreciation and a watercolor house portrait was the perfect unique thank you gift!” ~Courtney & Will
