Prince Faisal's Home in FL

Jane - thank you so very much for your lovely comments and the L/F. :D It's in a very secure gated community which has only 8 homes on it - and theirs is on 5 acres in town! If you think the home is nice - you should see their pool - his wife designed it, waterfall and all - all made of limestone. It was always heaven staying there. :D Again, thank you for your comments. :D

What a place! What a home ! A very lovely painting with a tropical feel. Love the spaciousness,beautiful curves to all the arched windows and surrounding lush greens.Would love to live in there Alanna ! Great work ! L/F

Latha - Namaste again! This is a painting of Prince Faisal bin Saud's home in Florida - a favorite place to visit. :D Thank you for your lovely comments! Again, your artwork is stunning!

So peaceful work of art,Alanna....Love the soft palette here!!(f/v)

Rosy, when Sheelagh decided to buy this home, Faisal was not happy about it. It originally had HOT PINK carpet all over the place, and that's just for starters. They bought a condo, and she brought in workers from Ireland who are at a masters level, and had them redo the entire house with her design. It's gorgeous. Thank you for your kind comment on this painting. It made Faisal and Sheelagh very happy.

Andrzej, thank you again. We have been there many times (and they have since sold it - sniff sniff :() as they have many homes around the world. Sheelagh, his wife is a fabulous decorator. This is one gorgeous home inside! Thank you again.

I love this,amazing work!!!

I appreciate hearing from you. Just saw your painting of Deborah Kerr. WOW Absolutely awsome.

thank you indeed, Alanna, for the wonderful painting and the story behind it..beautiful art! and thanks for your recent visits and comments....appreciate it!

You're very welcome. It's one of the most beautiful homes I've ever seen. Too bad they sold it. :( sniff sniff

Lenore - thank you so very much for your lovely comments. I had painted it from a photograph from one of our visits there. I just looked at your site - WOW - so much on it and so gorgeous! Thank you again Lenore. I very much appreciate you taking the time to comment on my painting. :D

Oh, I love the brightness of this painting! Just lovely composition and colors. v/f

Stephanie - it's absolutely stunning. Sheelagh has a magic touch and great taste. There's also an old stable which she converted to a guesthouse with two bedrooms, kitchen, dining room and living room. And a pool with waterfall and hot tub. LOVELY.

Such a lovely house, ALanna - it would be nice to see the inside too

Sheelagh entirely redid the entire home. It all had hot pink carpet in it. ugh. Now it's lovely tile. And WOW, what a home! :D He loved it in his office. Due to his retirement, he no longer needs that office, so it's in their home. Thank you again! :D

Alanna,Wow! Beautiful! I am sure he is going to treasure this forever! :)voted!

I knew Faisal missed home in FL terribly while he was in Saudi Arabia as head of Security and Anti Terrorism. He has two offices. One very stark with nothing personal. The other is his favorite, surrounded by the things he loves. I thought he'd like to look at his home. Sheelagh says it faces his desk so he can see it every day. :D
