You can choose from a number of artists available through Barbara to paint a room in your house exactly as it is. Deidre Hunt, a Melbourne-based artist, can be hired to paint or draw on canvas or paper any part of your home, whether it be inside or out. Barbara has seven artists on her books who paint houses and interiors. The mediums that are most popular are watercolour and pencil.
The main reason people want paintings of their home is for a gift - a birthday or anniversary - or to keep as a memory. Someone selling a home may want to keep the happy memories they have of it - it is really part of their family history. It may be that someone is renovating, and they want to capture the befores and afters. Paintings of interiors of homes have been very much an artform for hundreds of years.
If you don't live in Melbourne but you like the idea, you can send photos which the artists can work from.
