The holidays are still a few months away but hopefully you will remember this wonderful site when the time comes for you to have to decide about what presents to get for your loved ones. If you are like me this is never an easy decision and you are constantly trying to find the perfect gift that is both original and personable. Well, I’ve got a great idea for you to consider. Check out paintyourlife.com – they have a staff of professional portrait painters who can convert a picture that you email them into a real oil painting.
While looking at the site and their terrific samples I couldn’t help but think how it was long ago when people would hire an artist to draw their portraits. They probably would have to sit still for hours and I assume they required multiple sessions to have it done. It’s kind of funny to compare it to how easy it is today by simply allowing the portrait artist to paint from a photograph but the result is still the same.
This is a great gift for anniversaries as well and can be a beautiful way to display your wedding picture. The price is very reasonable too at only $99 for an oil paining and $69 for pencil sketches.
