The housewarming gift
Candles get burned and plants get neglected. A portrait of the house they just fought for is the housewarming gift that stays on the wall for as long as they stay.
See their house as art, free ↗Everything else on the housewarming list could have come from a supermarket shelf. A portrait of their own front door says you noticed the actual house, the porch, the wonky chimney, the door they repainted before the boxes were even empty.
A phone photo of the front of the house is enough, yours or theirs. Upload it and the finished artwork appears in a free preview in five to ten minutes, so you see exactly what the gift looks like before spending a penny.
Add a line beneath the portrait, the address or the year they got the keys. Send it straight to them with a note from you, and no prices appear anywhere in the parcel.
The artwork is made with AI from your photograph in one of fifteen editions, then checked by a person against the photo before anything is printed in the United Kingdom.
The proof, before the payment
Upload the clearest photo of their new place, even one lifted from your last visit. Cars, bins and grey weather are all fine. Nothing is printed until you have seen and approved the artwork.
Asked before gifting
Anything else, write to studio@heldportraits.co.uk.
A portrait of the house itself. It is personal to the address rather than to a shopping trend, it suits any interior because you choose from fifteen artwork editions, and the preview is free, so you can see the finished piece before you commit to anything.
Fine art paper prints start at £39 and framed pieces at £59, with UK delivery included. The preview that shows the finished artwork costs nothing, and a print-ready digital file is £12 if you would rather frame it yourself.
Yes. Add a gift note at checkout and we send the parcel straight to them with your words on a quiet card inside and no prices anywhere. Order emails stay with you.
Any clear photograph of the front of the building works: one you took at the housewarming, one they posted when they got the keys, or one you ask them for on a pretext. The whole building in frame with a little sky above it gives the best result.
