What to do and see near you this month
House Calls
Renowned Sussex-based artist Eli Ofir is offering
free house visits for South East residents until the end of
November, in line with Wealden Times Midwinter Fair Online.
If you’re interested in commissioning a portrait of your house in
Kent, Sussex or Surrey, you couldn’t ask for better. Eli is a full-time
professional House Portrait Artist, specialising in detailed English
period and current architecture. Last year he was commissioned
by Hever Castle to create a series of ‘Then & Now’ portraits that
will soon be made available as prints and stationery. With over
1,700 commissions for portraits of private homes over the past
decade in the South East alone, Eli is considered one of the
most sought-after and busiest artists in his field (and one of our
favorite Wealden Times Midsummer Fair exhibitors). These
days, in line with social-distancing restrictions, Eli is offering
to take photos of your house from the outside, and then
conduct a Zoom consultation a few days later to present his
thoughts and ideas. If you’d like to see if Eli can work his
magic on your property, the first step is to send him a few
initial photos to see if the house will benefit and be suitable
for his technique and artistic style. For more information and
consultation, please visit Eli’s website at homeportraits4u.co.uk
