My Granddaughter's Pictureby Gregory Beamer (Pomona, CA, US)

I really did some homework before picking myDaVinci, and still was not prepared for the product or the service. You can't beat this company for dedication to detail, speed and accuracy of their products. We hung it in our guest bedroom, and told each other that we knew our daughter's remarks when she saw it - we both won - "I want it!" Thanks for being true to your advertising, and you have great artists on staff!

Blown awayby Lauren Murphy (PHILADELPHIA, PA, US)

I cannot even begin to describe how pleased I am with our print! The website worked well, the artist creation and responses were very prompt, and the artist responded to the detail changes I requested perfectly. I was surprised at how well the finished product came out - the original photo was on my cell phone and a tad blurry. The artist just have firmed up the details and did some amazing work, so the final piece is perfect resolution even at a larger size. I am very satisfied with the framing (glass and white frame with mat) - it is professionally done. The package came very well padded and protected. My partner raves over it and was so happy with his gift. Thank you so much!

So very happy....by Guy Ehlers (Casper, WY, US)

We had asked for my wife to appear as the Mona Lisa, and myself to appear as an observer in a museum. The result was better than we could have hoped for... the images looked just like us, and the detail was incredible. The artist captured the perfect perspective, added details such as ropes, wooden floor, floor molding, perfect lighting and shadows in a hallway... just incredible detail. Many folks have seen this and we have received very positive comments. We could not be happier !!

Easy to work with!by Jeanne Johnson (Seattle, WA, US)

Very easy to work with the artist, we went through a few edits and the final product came out exactly as I hoped! Given as a Christmas gift for my parents and they immediately hung the painting on the wall.

Incredible work, I've never looked so good.by Russell Friedlander (Sylmar, CA, US)

At first I was apprehensive, I thought it was going to look obviously artificial, but that's actually what I look like, great job to the graphic designers over there at MyDavinci. And a special shout out to the shipping department, that package could've withstood a 10' drop without a scratch. My only criticism is there aren't enough portrait options for couples. Please provide more scenes, from more eras, and you will have a customer for life. I intend to buy each one of my friends and family members a portrait of us.

Magnificent, that's our boy!by Gretchen (Price, UT, US)

The colored pencil artwork is beautiful, right down to the short, soft, fuzzy fur on our bullie's nose/face! We love it and are most satisfied. Thank you!

Awesome work!by Sally Bricker (Ohio)

We are 100% satisfied with our artwork. They took a photo and rearranged the figures to how we wanted and then did multiple edits to get everything just the way we wanted. They were very responsive to our emails and inquiries. It was a bit pricey due to the number of people in the photo, but totally worth the price! This is something my husband will always treasure.

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.

A very happy boss!by Rhonda Bright (Tukwila, WA, US)

I requisitioned this watercolor of my boss' vacation home for her birthday in October. To say she was happy is an understatement. The artist really captured the best qualities of this place that she holds very dear. As she said "It's my happy place." The framing was done also done very well. She has decided to mount the piece in her office so that she can look at it every day. Major win for this assistant! :-)

Andy Warhol type picture of my dogby Rachel Ashby (Brookline, MA, US)

Awesome!!! Exactly what I was looking for. They also did some modifications I asked for and I love the finished product!

Sketch from picture by Paula Mezzetta (Pleasanton, CA, US)

The sketch I asked for was perfect! I would recommend my Da Vinci for anyone who is looking for a way to display a picture that is not an actual photograph.

Fabulousby Stacie Christensen (BOISE, ID, US)

I bought this as a surprise for my husband, for our anniversary. The image exceeded my expectations. Our images are flawlessly incorporated into the painting, and the textured art paper showcases the image beautifully. I would definitely recommend their portraits. I know it will not be my last.

Foxy the Surfer Girlby Kim Voorhees (Piscataway, NJ, US)

I have a shore house and I had a caricature done of my 3 little dogs. I then got a 4th little one...and I had to have her on the wall with the others...so I had MyDaVinci do a new one of Foxy. We put her up this past weekend next to the other one we already have. Love MyDaVinci. I have had pencil sketches also done by them. The turn around, quality and most of all the art work talent is top notch. Thank you.

Beautiful family sketchby GrammyLoves3 (CLINTON, UT, US)

I had my son’s family sketched in pencil. It turned out beautiful. Love the detail and my DaVinci. Highly recommend them. You can’t go wrong with the opportunity to make adjustments and a 100% guarantee. If your considering doing this, go for it. You won’t be sorry.

Loving Momentsby elizabeth deluca (smithtown, NY, US)

This drawing captured the relationship perfectly. My DaVinci did a beautiful job. We displayed this at my daughter's baby shower and so many people commented how beautiful it was.

Daveby Joseph Erschen (EAST DUBUQUE, IL, US)

i absolutely love the artwork and is very lifelike. Good job

Great jobby John Temple (Shawnee, Ok, US)

I have ordered from my davinci twice. Both times, artwork was perfect! Timely delivered. Great job

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.

Beautiful Memoriesby Elyse (Old Orchard Beach , ME, US)

My best friend lost her dog of 14 years, and this was the best gift she could have received to help her during this difficult time. The artistry is magnificent, and it really brings the picture to life. My friend will forever be brought back to a special time in her life with her best friend, whenever she looks at this drawing. Thank you SO much!!!

Real Estate Brokerby Nicholas Gombos (Fredericksburg, TX, US)

I can not say enough on how flawless the artwork image was !!!! In the future I will use your artwork over and over ! T Sincerely Nicholas .

Ordered as a giftby Rebecca Pourroy (Kankakee, IL, US)

I ordered this as a Christmas gift for my daughter and her fiancé. I won't know what their reaction is until Christmas, but I found the ordering process to be pain free. I was offered a preview of the drawing and able to make suggestions of changes I thought it needed. Once those changes were made, I was able to preview the drawing again and I realized that the first rendering was the better one. Once again the change was made. I recommend my DaVinci to anyone looking for a unique gift or keepsake.

Dads placeby Kevin C (Bellmore, NY, US)

I purchased this drawing as a gift for a friend who had recently lost her father.The entire process of losing him and selling the family home had been incredibly emotional for her. When I presented her with the drawing she was overwelmed with emotion, it truly captured the essence of her father in such a beautiful way. The detail and craftsmanship are extraordinary. Thank you for creating such a meaningful and lasting gift.

A Grade of A+by Kathleen Joswick (MACOMB, IL, US)

I had this painting made for my daughter. She is very proud of her house which has received an historic preservation award. When she saw the watercolor she said "If I saw this painting at an art gallery, I would want to buy it, even if it wasn't my house." I consider that the highest level compliment.

Poppyby Dawn Eastes (Nolensville, TN, US)

I submitted a photograph of my best friend's little rescue dog. She lives on Vancouver Island, British Columbia in Canada. This will be her birthday present and she knows nothing about it. She is traveling here right now, even as I'm typing this, to visit with family members who live near me outside of Nashville. I'm thrilled with how the pencil sketch turned out and would recommend this artwork group to anyone. It was done to my specifications and was also received in plenty of time for her birthday in just a few days. Thank you very much. She is going to be so surprised. Well done!

Great results! by Ryan Sipherd (Orem, UT, US)

We surprised a friend of ours with this fabulous portrait. The tricky part was getting a photo without her suspecting, but it worked! She was truly surprised and she loved it. Well worth the effort and price. The result was very convincing. I would purchase again.

Home Ink Printby Michael Hart (Richardson, TX, US)

Awesome job on our home print. Your artist did a great job! The myDaVinci team was easy to work with on communication and delivery. Thank you!

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!

Excellent Product - Excellent Serviceby Robin Lee Monroe (Vancouver, BC, CA)

I ordered a watercolour painting as a house warming gift in celebration of the purchase of my son's first house. I was not disappointed - the painting was excellent and the service with the artists was as well.

Amazing!!by Dana Elliott (Newport, NC, US)

I do not typically do reviews - I dont want to influence people for or against a product BUT felt i needed to write this for those of you choosing between companies for this type of item like i was. Where you go in blindly trusting the vendor to do a good job. My experience with this company was nothing short of incredible. They were patient while i changed my mind several times over the design, honest about my background options and the final outcome was truly incredible. It was for a friend for her 60th birthday and the detail down to the single hairs on their heads was spot on. She was truly speechless and overcome with emotion at the likeness. I highly recommend them - they are worth your trust.

Keepsake of Roseyby Margo Ford (Northbrook, IL, US)

We are so glad we had a painting done of our 14 year old dog. She is a sweetheart and we want to make sure we have a lasting memory of her. Working with myDaVinci was easy and the results were outstanding. We were very pleased with the final product. Would certainly recommend this company.
