A Special Giftby BRADLEY BRILL (Carmel, IN, US)

We gifted a black & white rendering of their new house to our son and his family. At a time when giving is often reduced to using links from emails after requesting a wish list from our loved ones, it was very satisfying to conjure up this unexpected gift. Wherever this young family resides in the years to come, this artwork will trigger memories of a very special time for them in their first house and all that that entails.

Best gift of the seasonby Shana McCullough Downing (Orlando, FL, US)

I was so excited to see my father's face when he opened this for Christmas. He loved it and he is a tough person to get gifts for. This was perfect. My mom displayed it for everyone to see throughout the holidays. Great qaulity and worth every penny!!

He was so happy! Great job MyDavinci! by Tressa (South Riding, VA, US)

I purchased this for my special friend for Christmas. I wanted to get him something unique and memorable. Even though I didn’t receive it in time because I waited to last minute to order but it was worth the wait. ( approx 3 weeks before I received it) . To see the expression on his face and the emotion behind seeing his mom was priceless. For MyDavinci to take a picture I had off my phone and make it come to life was worth it. I wants to surprise him because I knew his mom was his inspiration before she passed away and still is. After doing many searches on Google and looking at reviews, I’m so glad I picked this company . They even put it in a nice black frame for me. The packaging was on point to ensure it was handled with care. I will order again and I recommend MyDavinci to others . Great job!!!

In Memory of Colinby Elizabeth Weber (Fairport, NY, US)

My husband and I are extremely pleased with My DaVinci. The artist did an excellent job. Additionally, after sending the first draft, we quickly received the final revision that incorporated my revisions. And overall, I received the finished product in a very timely manner.

Professional perfection by Matthew Lawrence (Portland, OR, US)

I gave the artist a challenging assignment - a photo of our cabin at night, with lights pouring out of large windows. Their standard approach seems to be to portray a house in daylight so they were initially unsure what the true colors should be. They asked for additional pictures to indicate that, and quickly produced a beautifully rendered watercolor of the cabin as it would appear in daytime - with a time lapse video showing the picture being painted! They sent a picture of the first image for my review. I was impressed by the quality but had been hoping for the more dramatic night time scene. They adjusted the tones and colors (not easy with watercolor, I’m sure) and I’m very pleased with the final result. The painting is impeccably rendered and I’m quite pleased by the result. I highly recommend this service and give high marks for the customer service and quality control.

Beautiful workby Greg Hawes (Houston, TX, US)

We are repeat buyers and always happy with the service and artwork. Response time is fast, and we are given multiple opportunities to review before the final piece is shipped.

Beautiful work, swift, and responsive!by Olivia (Westerville, OH, US)

I was very impressed with my experience with myDaVinci--the ordering process was easy and customer service and my artist immediately reached out, discussed which photo would be their best reference, and assured me they could still customize the painting to include fall foliage (the reference photo was taken in winter). The painting was done much earlier than I expected, and is even more beautiful in person. I bought this for my mom, who is planning to downsize from my childhood home, and I think she will love it!

Perfect donor giftby Bird City Public Library (Bird City , KS, US)

Thank you for working so hard to get the design correct. We wanted to honor an important supporter of our library and his family was very excited when we showed them our idea of a portrait. The colors were bright and beautiful. I sent 3 requests for minor details to be corrected and each was done perfectly. This will be a wonderful talking piece on our library walls for years to come.

Building Drawingby Fred Langford (REDMOND, WA, US)

We're very pleased with the pencil drawing of our vintage apartment building. Intended for use on a new letterhead, the drawing captures the appearance of the structure nicely, and omits, as requested, some neighboring power lines and other unnecessary visual elements. MyDavinci was responsive and prompt with our order, and the cost was very reasonable. Over all, this was an excellent experience.

Novaby Steve Riggs (West Warwick, RI, US)

I am so happy with the oil painting of Nova, my girlfriend's dog who passed away a few years ago. She absolutely loved the portrait with tears in her eyes after she saw it. She said it looks just like him. The said it was the best Xmas gift she's ever received. Thank you MyDivinci for the wonderful work of art.

Myloby Brian Ballou (Alvin, TX, US)

It was amazing . I got it for my girlfriend for her birthday. She loved it. I would recommend this for any dog lover out there.

Ink Drawn Homeby Casey Scott-Mitchell (Phoenix, AZ, US)

Fast service, exactly what I was looking for, and the framing looked really nice. This will be the perfect present for a friends' wedding anniversary!

lovely transfigurationby Richard Fisher (CHICAGO, IL, US)

Pleasant and gratifying surprise at how the artwork turned out. The final product is a lovely, sui generis transfiguration of the original photo, which was well-cropped and formatted, keeping essential details and aligning everything correctly. After some initial tweeking, the work was completed expeditiously and mailed promptly, so it arrived here just after notification of send-off. Will follow up with more photo images to metamorphose!

Weiss house portrait by Shelley Weiss (Gales Ferry, CT, US)

Working with your team was a very pleasant surprise in this time of dubious customer service! You were patient, polite, and so accommodating to my various modification requests. The likeness came out wonderfully, small color corrections were spot on and the final product is beautiful. It is accurate but also artistic, with a soft natural homey feel. Thank you!

A man and his dogby Tom Pullam (Maumelle, AR, US)

Duke recently died at the age of 13, a Christmas gift of years past. I wanted something special for my son-in-law, and I think this accomplished the task. I was impressed with their artwork and especially their customer service when asked if the artist could make certain adjustments; and with their quick responses, along with reviews of their work, before asking me for final approval. They did exactly what I requested and at a very reasonable price! I am totally satisfied!

Excellent painting by Robert Smallman (Merrill, WI, US)

The 11 x 14 painting was an excellent representation of the house, based on the photo I had uploaded. I was surprised at how quickly it was completed — and yet how beautifully it was done. I’m very pleased with the resulting work and can’t wait to surprise my wife on our anniversary.

Review on portraitby Hailey Dodson (Gainesboro, TN, US)

The picture was beautifully drawn. No flaws. I will be buying from this company again! I’m so happy with the final copy. I can’t wait to give it out as Christmas gifts!

BONNIEby Lisa Hensley (Ingram, TX, US)

This is the 2nd product I have ordered from MyDaVinci and I am super thrilled with their items. It exceeded my expectations and I recommend them whenever I can. Super special artwork, this of our 12 year old Australian Shepherd, our furbaby, my husband's anniversary gift. Thank you!

Amazing artwork by Matthew Hotston (Smiths Falls, ON, CA)

This is the greatest company with the best artists, I order many things from them and it’s always above and beyond.

Perfect housewarming giftby Meg Britton (Stafford, VA, US)

Love how this watercolor painting turned out. I had two requests for changes and fully expected to pay for the second, but no! It was all included in my original price. My recipients are thrilled. Highly recommend using my da Vinci.

Lauren and Rick's wedding photoby patricia salvatore (NEWTOWN, PA, US)

I can't say enough about both the quality of the product and the stellar customer service experience. From the moment I placed the order, any questions were immediately addressed and every effort was made to insure a positive interaction. I would not hesitate to order from myDaVinci in the future!

Pencil Drawing of Dogby Stephen Hilty (San Luis Obispo, CA, US)

I love the pencil drawing of our dog. The myDaVinci site was easy to use and I was amazed at how quickly I received the drawing. The framing was done very well.

Finby Joni Hardin (Smyrna, SC, US)

This is amazing? I absolutely love it! It’s a surprise birthday gift for my daughter-in-law. I can hardly wait to give it to her (Nov 6). The drawing of my grandson, Fin is completely him, precise, the colors are great & I’m just so happy with it Thank you!

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.

Perfection by Karen McKay (Port Charlotte, FL, US)

The drawing of my son and daughter in laws house is beautiful. The service, follow up and changes for the completion of the project was very professional and customer friendly. I would highly recommend this company. May I also add that my son and daughter in law love it!

‘My Dad’by Diane Stierle (Milford, PA, US)

This perfect portrait captured the ‘my dad’ everlasting smile for my daughter’s 40th birthday gift; thank you ‘myDaVinci’ and your gifted artists for art work from the heart.

Fairy childby Denise Richards (Johnsonville, NY, US)

I could not have been happier with my entire experience with myDavinci.com. The website is easy and fun to use, the artwork produced is amazing. I was delighted with remarkably fast turn-around. My framed artwork arrived carefully wrapped and in perfect condition. I love it!! I am so thrilled with it that I am about to send in my second "order"... and I'm sure with many more to follow.

He LOVED It!by Laura M (Lewisburg, TN, US)

I bought this print for my husband for our first anniversary. We talked about it and decided for at least the first year to use the traditional anniversary gift list. I was searching around on the internet for the perfect gift. I stumbled across mydavinci.com and found the perfect gift! The golfer in the picture even looks like him! I had it personalized with a quote from Ben Hogan "The most important shot in golf is the next one." We will be using mydavinci.com for all of our picture needs.

Great Closing Giftby Allen McFeaters (Austin, TX, US)

I contracted My DaVinci to do a custom drawing of a home for one of my real estate clients as a closing gift. This client sold his home after building it with his wife over 50 years ago. He raised his children and grandchildren in the home and it was very special to them all. It was nice to give him this gift so he and his family can always have the home with them.

Our Pennyby Sharon Stern (Cincinnati, OH, US)

I am very please with the finished art work of the photo I had submitted. This is going to be a birthday present for my husband, after all this is his little buddy. The artist truly caught the expression of her eyes when she looks at him. Thank you again, this will be one of his best gifts ever!
