Chrissy 8/24/09 - 2/19/23by Myra Riollano (Bronx, NY, US)

From the moment I saw the draft of this picture I loved it. I feel as if I’m looking into Chrissy’s eyes. The artist did a wonderful job. Thank you for capturing my girls sweet expression.

Nailed it!by Brock Weems (Denver, CO, US)

Y’all are awesome! Best birthday gift I think I’ve ever given. I can’t wait to do more! Customer service was great & simple. The quality was fantastic and it was a pretty fun and easy process from start to finish. Thank you so much for doing such a great job. Y’all are awesome! Thanks for making it affordable too.

Perfect!!by Diane Zambito (Livingston, NJ, US)

I had a water color picture created of my parents' house for their 58th anniversary and it was absolutely perfect! The artists at DaVinci were so patient as I requested modifications to the original piece and they listened to every request I made and incorporated it into the piece. It is the house I grew up in so there was a huge subjective factor involved, but even so I couldn't be happier. Several years ago my oldest daughter gave a colored pencil sketch of a friend's victorian home as a thank you for offering her a place to stay in Boston one summer during an internship in the city. She was so happy with how it turned out that she then ordered a pencil sketch for my husband and I as a gift. Three pictures: colored pencil, black and white, and water colors all turned out great. Order without hesitancy!

Fabulous workmanship!by Gail Labuda (Saugus, MA, US)

I had this sketch made for my daughter and husband and family who are moving to new home. I thought this sketch would make a perfect "housewarming" gift for them to remind them of their "first" home. I am thrilled with the results. I will give the gift in a month, and I can't wait for the happy reaction. My daughter and husband will love this picture!! Job well done. Thank you so much!!!!!

Exceptional workby Christopher Dahlberg (Memphis, TN, US)

My son has just purchased a new home and is likely to move in for the holidays. When I saw a write up about this company in a newspaper, I began thinking this would be a great Christmas present. The artwork is wonderful. We have framed it and have it ready for the holidays. I appreciate the good communication throughout the whole process. I highly recommend this company.

Saved Our Wedding Photos!!by Meghan (GA)

Unfortunately, the memory card with our wedding photos was lost before we ever received any pictures of us together. All that we had were a few iphone photos that a friend took. We were grateful for those, but the quality wasn’t good enough to print past a 4x6. Then I heard of myDaVinci...we sent in the best iphone picture we could find and the artist created the most beautiful portrait from our wedding. Now we have a large representation, and it’s one of the only ones from our wedding day. I’m so grateful for this company! The painting is so incredibly detailed, down to the exact lace detail of my dress. No one would ever know that it was painted off a small phone photo that was our last hope. We’ve already ordered others as gifts. You may think it’s a big investment, but the value is incredible. I am amazed at their work! Thank you!!

Xmas presentby Turina Garner (Seattle, WA, US)

I loved the way it turned out. it was custom and i left it pretty open.. but the artist did a fantastic job and my parents loved it!! it got delivered just in time and was a breeze to communicate back and forth.. I'll keep it in mind in the future for gifts..

Looks great!!by Brice Dudman (Brier, WA, US)

This is the third drawing I've purchased and you really nailed it. That's Wilson, all right. I was very happy with the first one and loved this one. I gotta say my second one, a beautiful German Shepherd didn't do her justice. It was too light and a bit angular. My fault for approving it without voicing my concerns. I'd purchased it for a friend and saw it again recently for the first time in a while and was again disappointed. But this one couldn't have been better

Amazingby Kristen Goins (North Kingstown, RI, US)

The finished piece is amazing. From start to finish the service was exceptional. And, great job with packaging- I was worried it would arrive broken ..you all do amazing work Thank you

Just Beautifulby Molly Flanagan (Petaluma, CA, US)

I ordered this watercolor of my parents’ beloved home for them after they down sized. They built this home from scratch and I thought they’d like a reminder of the legacy they’ve left. I was right. They were delighted with the Christmas gift. The details the artist included were perfect and I’m so grateful. Production and shipping were timely.

Spot On!by Calvin Ekern (Altoona, WI, US)

This was my second order from the company. The quality of the photos is so well done, both are gifts and I'm sure they are going to love them as much as I did! The team does a great job of sending proofs to approve and make any changes necessary. Can't wait to give these as gifts!!!

My client cried when she saw it!by Cameron Sorensen (Holladay, UT, US)

I am impressed each and every time I have a home drawn for a client of mine, something I try to give each Seller that sells a home. There is something about looking at the drawing of your old home, inside a frame on your wall, that makes you pause, reflect and remember the joyous memories that were created in that home. This one was no different. As soon as my client opened up the gift, she started to cry. Tears of joy and appreciation. Thank you for always going above and beyond and to your skillful artists that always capture every detail. It means the world to me and my clients.

PERFECTby Marjie (Edison, NJ, US)

I purchased two of these, one for me and one for my son and fiancee. I couldn't be happier - in fact, I can't stop looking at it. It looks just like an oil painting and printed on excellent quality paper stock. This is my fourth purchase from myDaVinci (the first was about 15 years ago), and I've never been disappointed. They are definitely my "go to" for extra special gifts.

Perfection by Ashley Johnson (TRENTON, ME, US)

I am absolutely in love with the final piece I recieved! I had this ordered as a Christmas gift for my boyfriend this year - a portrait of his mother who passed away ten years ago. I'm already predicting his reaction, as my reaction of first seeing this, I was in tears. Thank you myDaVinci & the artist who created this portrait for me! Best gift to date.

Perfectly fulfilled orderby E. VOZZA (PONTE VEDRA BEACH, FL, US)

Very satisfied with myDaVinci at every level. The artistry (color pencil sketch) was suberb - so effective that it brought the recipient to tears. Service the best - and so thoughtful that myDaVinci actually managed to meet a tight deadline when I needed the artwork. And customer service was understanding and polite in addressing questions I had in the process. I have ordered a few and various works of art from myDaVinci and never been disappointed.

Canvas Pop Artby Lori Grossman (Orange, CA, US)

My grand babies never looked so hip. Canvas Pop Art looks great on the walls of their play room. Thank you for providing the service.

Love it!by Carol Stamper (frankfort, KY, US)

This has been my “go go” wedding gift for the past 10 years! Superb quality and always well received!

Colorful Imageryby Donna Candelori (Angels Camp, CA, US)

The artist made the picture come alive! I love the colors and textures that were chosen based on what the artist saw from the photograph I submitted. I only had to provide a few lines about who the person was in the image and any favorite colors, and magic was cast to produce a picture I'm thrilled to have on my wall.

Parents' 50th Wedding Anniversary by Kelly Peterson (Mission Viejo, CA, US)

Customer service was always helpful, and they kept in contract via email and phone throughout the entire process. The artwork was expedited and arrived as expected. Both of my sisters loved the final product, and our parents were definitely surprised. The team at MyDaVinci is professional and easy to work with. Now that their quality work has been seen in person, there are several pieces that I plan to have created for myself. My mom and sisters are interested in having artwork completed for themselves as well.

My 3 dogs by Liz Searson (Fuquay Varina, NC, US)

I sent separate pictures of my dogs, I always wanted a painting of all 3 together, one died years ago, so I thought it would be a nice memory. I couldn’t of been happier with results. Came out so amazing!

Gorgeous!!by alice roper (New York, NY, US)

You did a fabulous job of creating a beautiful painting my son’s house. I gave it to him for Christmas. He was over the moon thrilled ,surprised and totally happy to receive the watercolor of his house.

Dalmatian Printby Robert Wilson (Atlanta, GA, US)

Love it. The artist truly caught the character of our beloved pet, Ranger. This print is hanging in a prominent location for all to see.

Love itby Leigh Tilley (Kernersville, NC, US)

I absolutely couldn’t have asked for a better picture of my fur baby! This is the third drawing I’ve had done by My Davinci. Ordering one for my mom of her fur baby for Mother’s Day.

Sunny day by Randy Decker (Huntington Beach , CA, US)

This was a gift for my wife because it was taken from a photo of our first Fourth of July together. I knew my wife loved the photo so I was very pleased when she saw this pencil rendition and loved it too. The cost and wait time were both very reasonable for such a unique gift idea.

Perfect Gift! by Shelly Walden (Dunkirk, MD, US)

Wonderful artwork! I love this one of my son and his girlfriend. I ordered two recently. The other was for an office of 29 people, we had a few adjustments before getting the final but myDaVinci was very easy to work with and patiently made adjustments and sent back until it was perfect.

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.

Happy Wifeby Monte Small (Bridgeport, WV, US)

My wife was very happy with her Christmas gift, an oil painting of her picking out our new puppy. Customer service was very helpful with the preparatory process, the artist did a masterful job, and shipping was quick. I would highly recommend myDaVinci.com!

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!

Worth the effortby Theresa Barton (Memphis, TN, US)

I love my prints!! It took some coordination and several emails to get the same background color on 4 panels, but they came out so cute. It's 4 single panels of my kids. Looks great at the top of the stairs. Brings a smile on my face each morning and night. Thanks for capturing my kids in a fun design!!!

So excited! by Debra McKellar (Keller, TX, US)

I am thrilled to have found DaVinci! I am eagerly awaiting proofs for my second sketch... the first one of my daughter turned out wonderful....they worked with me and redid a couple of places until I was completely happy with the outcome... all at no extra charge.. I would recommend this for any sketch or painting of that special person!
