This exquisite oil painting by renowned Spokane artist Carl Funseth captures the timeless charm of a historic Victorian home, likely located in Spokane, Washington—a city often celebrated in his artwork. Known as the “Lilac City,” Spokane served as Carl Funseth’s lifelong home and the inspiration for much of his career.
A self-taught artist, Funseth became a beloved local figure whose paintings beautifully balanced impressionism and naturalism. His works often featured Spokane’s most iconic landmarks, street scenes, and nostalgic architectural details, preserving the essence of the city’s history for future generations. This particular piece is a perfect example, showcasing his mastery in portraying architectural beauty amidst lush natural surroundings.
The Victorian house depicted here, with its warm yellow tones and intricate details, reflects Carl’s ability to blend the beauty of man-made structures with the serenity of nature. His landscapes were both historically significant and artistically inviting, evoking a sense of nostalgia for Spokane’s past.
Framed in a classic gilded gold wood frame, this painting is signed by the artist in the lower-left corner, affirming its authenticity and timeless appeal.

Throughout his career, he painted beloved scenes of old Spokane, including landmarks like St. John’s Cathedral, St. Aloysius Church, and the Davenport Hotel.
