Perfect - Captured Every Detail by Denise Slifer (Naples, FL, US)

I couldn’t be happier with this pencil sketch of my home! The artist captured every detail beautifully — from the texture of the brick to the gentle shading of the trees, it’s absolutely stunning. The sketch feels so personal and full of warmth, perfectly reflecting the character of the house. You can tell it was created with real care and talent. It’s now framed in our living room, and everyone who visits comments on how amazing it looks. A true keepsake that I’ll treasure for years! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a thoughtful, timeless piece of art.

My first fur-grand-baby!by Dawn Kahler (Nottingham, MD, US)

I'm so excited to give this portrait to my daughter for Christmas! She is a senior in college and this is her first pet, so my first fur-grand-baby. We adore our Ingrid and this portrait captures her perfectly! Thank you so much and Merry Christmas!

Portrait of our dogby Sue Barber (Edison, NJ, US)

This is the second black and white portrait of a pet that I had done at my DaVinci. Completely satisfied both times. They're beautiful and the artist did such a great job capturing the essence of each dog.

Exceeded expectations!by Monica Willkomm (Nokomis, FL, US)

I’m so pleased with how my print turned out. I forwarded pictures found on Facebook for my colleague’s print and they were able to use them and create such a cool and seamless picture. Would definitely recommend this company and order from here again. Furthermore, they were so quick to send me the picture for approval and shipping was just as fast. Thank you!

Love it!!!by Brittnee Smith (Macon, GA, US)

I got this photo done for my baby sisters high school graduation present. This photo was originally her senior picture! It turned out beautiful and everyone LOVED IT! Now my mom is thinking about getting this done with all of her children's senior pictures ! Service and shipping was fast and I couldn't be happier!!! Will definitely use again!!

pencil sketchby Joan da Silva Heit (Woodstock, MD, US)

My experience with myDavinci was excellent. All work was done and sent in a timely manor. The communication with myDavinci was easy. I did communicate needed changes twice before the final sketch. On the third viewing I had debated about a minor change but accepted the third sketch. They changed everything that I had asked with no problem. The words used for this drawing at our niece's baby shower were stunning, and beautiful. Most important, our niece loves it, and it meant a lot to her. I plan to work with myDavinci again in the future.

Thank you for the beautiful memoryby Jennifer Reel (Raleigh, NC, US)

Your team was able to take a scanned photo that is 16 years old and turn it into a beautiful, one-of-a-kind pieces of art that now proudly displays in our home. Thank you for capturing this priceless memory in a perfect way and for making this process so easy. We are beyond happy with the work!

Husband's Christmas Presentby Dana Guidry (Raceland, LA, US)

My DaVinci captured my sweet little baby perfectly. She is no longer with us and I had this painted for my husband for Christmas! Thank you MY DaVinci for helping us keep her close to our hearts in our home!

The Golferby Virginia Bowman (Davidson, NC, US)

Fabulous job! Looks just like him and love the fact they could custom paint the golf setting. Very fast service. I was a little nervous when I didn't select to preview but it really wasn't necessary. I submitted two photos and a good explanation and it was perfect. Will definitely use again.

My Davinci homeby Kim LoBiondo (Wayne, NJ, US)

I always get nervous ordering things from the internet however I was extremely pleased with this transaction. I was able to reach them by phone and ask my questions. They were very helpful and stayed in touch throughout the process. The finished product was beautiful and I would recommend them to everyone.

Love this drawingby Randy (Boca Raton, FL, US)

I am so pleased with the artist's colored pencil drawing of my dog, Sonny! He or she captured Sonny completely - his eyes, his smile, coloring - basically his entire personality! My boyfriend and I are so pleased, we smile each time we look at the artwork. Thank you so much for the amazing job!

Beyond expectations by Susan (Bloomington, IL, US)

This artwork was purchased as a gift. I am extremely pleased, the portrait is absolutely beautiful, colorfully detailed and accurately depicted image sent. THANK YOU!!!

Fabulous Pencil Art Drawingby Lodina Lepard (Feeding Hills, MA, US)

I was thrilled to see the beautiful finished pencil art drawn by Candy. She did a phenomenal job of depicting Hazel, which looks just like the beautiful dog she is!!! My son and his wife were so excited when they opened the present and immediately displayed it in their home! I would highly recommend mydavinci.com to anyone wanting a treasured gift!

Great attention to adjustmentsby Barbara McWee (Oakland, MI, US)

Because our grandchild's face was scrunched up as the butterfly landed on her nose and was quite obscured by a shade in the original photograph, it was difficult to make her face look just like her. DaVinci reworked the drawing with the assistance of additional photos we provided and the end result was a treasure.

Always very satisfiedby Katherine Wicke (Hereford, AZ, US)

This particular caricature is the sixth one I've had made up in the last year. As I've always been.... I was very satisfied, and pleased with how it came out. The artists at My DaVinci have always worked with me and made any corrections and/or additions that I requested. These make terrific, and fun gifts that everyone I've given them to, has truly enjoyed. I'm sure I'll be having more made up in the near future.

Happy 100 Years!by Kay Isley (Athens, GA, US)

My daughter’s house turns 100 years old in 2024 and she’s planning a birthday party. I now have the perfect present - a beautiful watercolor! I couldn’t be happier with the painting I received. Every detail is captured. I sent two photos - one taken with Christmas wreaths on the windows and snow on the ground and the other with tree in her front yard in full Fall color. The finished product was perfect. I can’t wait to give it to her so she’ll get it at Christmas. I also ordered the digital file to use on note cards and the birthday party invites. I highly recommend mydavinci.com! I'll be ordering from them again soon.

Perfect!by Barbara E. (Southeastern PA, US)

Not only did the oil painting capture such a fantastic memory of our little guy, they were able to improve the quality of the photo to get an even better image to work from. This is my fourth purchase from myDavinci and I recommend them to my friends all the time. Looking forward to my fifth purchase.

It is perfect!by Nannette McDonald (Portage, WI, US)

The sketch of our family pet was more beautiful than I expected. The correspondence between the staff and me was very personal and my emails were answered quickly. I will call upon MyDavinci in the future if I want anything in the future.

Stunning artwork by Whitney Brooks (Bennington, VT, US)

This is the 5th pencil sketch I have purchased from mydavinci and have NEVER been disappointed. Their work is absolutely beautiful and worth every penny.

Talented artistryby Thomas O'Shay (Woodbridge, VA, US)

I contracted this pencil sketch of a photograph for someone whose parrot passed away unexpectedly, so I had a high bar for the artist to meet. They exceeded my expectations! They were patient with making the changes I wanted, and the sketch turned out perfect. The recipient of the sketch was ecstatic at how the artist captured the subject, and the owner of the frame store we visited was impressed with the quality of the artist. I definitely plan on contracting for more artwork with MyDaVinci!

Beautiful!by Carrie Poston (Florence, SC, US)

I recently purchased a sketch of my husband and son for my husband's first father's day. I am amazed at the quality of the work. The artist produced a beautiful sketch, amazingly detailed. My husband loves it and so do I! I have been recommending My DaVinci to family and friends. You cannot beat the quality of work and price.

My Father Lives onby Rui Sousa (Vernon, CT, US)

My Father died on June 4th, in making preparations we found that we did not have a really good photo of him to display for the funeral. After searching for day's we found one. We tried to enlarge it ourselves, and found that we could only make it so large before it lost its impact. A friend suggested having it turned into a painting. The cost was minimal and the finished product's value to my family far outweighed the financial impact. I recommend My Davinci.com to anyone I can now.

Fantastic!by Mary Coffey (Harbor City, CA, US)

This drawing of my late husband captured the warmth and essence without requiring a touch up or correction! The cherry frame I selected was very nice and sturdy. Really top notch work, I definitely will recommend to my family and friends.

Beats Dressing Up!by Patricia A. Spayd (Williamsburg, VA, US)

I love myDaVinci artwork. This is the second 17th Century type of painting that I've commissioned and I love it. Nothing like getting an elaborate painting and it's a great plus not having to get all dressed up for it! High quality, promptly shipping and checking to see if any changes are needed. I changed my Ali ring slightly and the modification was made. Even added my black cat!

House Portrait by Heather Taylor-Wagnon (Bastrop, TX, US)

The artist captured the beauty of the house and it was done with a picture that wasn’t that great. The fact that they were able to pull out the proper details. I know my Aunt will cherish this as she moves on to the next chapter in her life. I will definitely use my davinci again and likely soon!

Completely Satisfied by Angie Estevez (Middletown, DE, US)

The hand-penciled drawing was wonderful and blew my wife and I away with how accurate and detailed it was. It fully captured our dog’s features and smile, despite her being an all black dog. And it also accurately portrayed my wife who was holding our dog in the drawing. The process was very good too. Before framing up and shipping us the drawing, we received a preview via email for approval and given the opportunity to request changes. And from start (ordering) to finish (drawing in hand) was about 3-4 weeks. We love our drawing and will treasure it for years to come!

Home Paintingby Martin Stephenson (Portland, OR, US)

My wife was thrilled with this watercolor! She was so happy that she cried when she saw it. The house is her pride and joy having had it built over 25 years ago. The process of getting the painting completed was quick and easy and the end product is of high quality. I couldn’t be happier with myDaVinci for creating this.

Sister of my Heartby Lee Ann Nelson (Clayton, NC, US)

I was looking for the perfect gift for my best friend’s 50th birthday, and I am thrilled with this sketch. It is a beautiful depiction of a friendship that has lasted for 4 decades.

Amazing process and amazing product!by Erin Spohn (Allegan, MI, US)

I have been using MyDavinci for roughly 25 years and have never been disappointed. They are easy to work with, easy to communicate with, and always produce a quality product!!

Beautiful Workby Caroline Attaway (Milledgeville, GA, US)

Good communication. I think there is a quite a time difference because it would take a while for them to reply, but I did have a few edits that needed to be made. Overall I loved the drawing and so did my mother who received it as a gift. I will definitely use them again! Thank you!
