House watercolorby Carrie Rummans (River Forest, IL, US)

We ordered a watercolor of our family's home. The artist was very patient as we requested various tweaks and we were very happy with the final product.

Back in timeby THELMA THERIAULT (CARSON CITY, NV, US)

Thank you so much for a job well done. I bought the photo for a Christmas gift and my husband really enjoyed receiving it. I also showed the picture to many friends and I sent them your web site. I am looking into photos that I am going to have made for my son and daughter-in-law's anniversary. It is so much fun choosing the perfect photo gift. You have a great selection of photo art to chose from! Thanks again.

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!!!

Mother and Daughterby Richard Darlington (Calgary, AB, CA)

I was looking for a unique Christmas gift for my mother. I recalled watching the sketch artists in Rome's Piazza Navonna last summer and searched the Web for a local artist. I found nothing in my area but I discovered your website and sent two of my favourite photos of my wife and daughter. The finished portrait was exceptional and my mother loved her gift. Well done. I'm searching for other photos that may be suited to a protrait rendering.

The Boysby Garrett Mann (Gainesville, FL, US)

Candy did an excellent job capturing the joy my boys have in the photo we sent for this sketch. We're very pleased with the piece. Also, the work was fast. We received the sample via email within 1 day and the final product within 2 weeks. Great job. Garrett Mann

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.

Wonderful!by Shelly Luchini (Du Bois, PA, US)

This is a gift for dear friends. I had no idea how beautifully this would turn out. The quality was wonderful and I was even surprised to see that the photos were touched up a bit. Loved it. Might even get one for my husband and me. Thank you for a job well-done!

Look no further for a custom caricatureby Lewis Askegaard (Staunton, VA, US)

You can find caricature artists all over the internet. We wanted an 8x12 wedding picture. MyDaVince did a great job, customizing it just like we wanted. They sent us a trial, and we asked for a couple of changes, which they did in a day just as we asked. The picture was boxed securely, came in two days. The whole process took 2-3 weeks, which would have been less had I used a credit card rather than a check. This is not a hand done caricature but rather they use photo technology (that I wouldn't understand), but it was customized just like we wanted, and the likenesses of the bride and groom were right on. Total cost? Just $120, with no surprised fees. You can pay less, but you can pay a lot more on the web. I could not recommend them more highly.

Aspenby Beth Durbin (Allison Park, PA, US)

This is the second dog sketch we have purchased through myDavinci The sketches are exceptional. The attention to detail in capturing, not only each dog’s physical characteristic, but their soul is uncanning. Any requests for changes are immediately addressed and done exactly as requested. Each sketch was completed and received as promised and in a most timely fashion. This is an outstanding company from product to customer service. If I could give more than a five-star rating, I would. If you are considering having a sketch made of a beloved pet, you have found the best. Your search ends here.

Gorgeous Rendering!by Thomas Barrett (Chesilhurst, NJ, US)

The artist who drew the picture of my two little munckins did a beautiful job. The accuracy of expression, the feeling displayed, and the beauty of my dogs was presented as if each we're still with me and family. In short, it brought both my dogs back to life! I wholeheartedly recommend DaVinci's services to anyone wishing to recreate a loved one or memory in picture form. My purchase was worth so much more than money. It gave me back my precious little angels! Thank you DaVinci!

Amazing by Jomar Rosario (Port Saint Lucie, FL, US)

Artwork was amazing, will definitely purchase from here again.

Very Happyby Carol Cushing (Brooklyn , NY, US)

I was extremely pleased with the art work I ordered. I will use you again in the future . I will recommend you to my family and friends.

Excellent Resultsby Brad Shelton (Mesquite, TX, US)

I chose to commission a piece for my wife's birthday, featuring our four departed dogs. Having only a few older photos, I offered them up for as much detail as possible. I was offered mock-ups for final approval, allowing me to make a minor change before finalizing the order, and I'm very pleased with the results. My wife loves the final product. She's amazed with the detail! I gladly recommend myDaVinci, and I would use them again.

Jarjue weddingby kerry jarjue (Gilbert, AZ, US)

We absolutely love the painting you made from our photo. The painting came out better than the picture. To us it looks like we’re floating and our emotions that day we definitely were. It was so easy to order and the painting got to us in a very timely matter. Thank you so much for the beautiful art work.

Father and Sonby Jill Kingslien (La Vernia, TX, US)

I got the first piece when my son was almost 1 for my husband's first Father's Day. I have gotten a father/son picture done about every 3 years. Our son is 15 now and this is the 5th one. It is a wonderful chronical of their relationship as he has grown up. Beautiful work as always. Excellent communication, rapid response and item well packaged and sent promptly.

Bright, Vivid, and Colorful!by Retsuko Bollinger (Honolulu, HI, US)

It is bright, vivid, colorful, hip, pop, & funky, that really helps bring back wonderful memories that my late husband and I shared for over 40 years! It makes me happy every time I look at it! Thank you myDaVinci!

Bella Graceby Kelly Ann Plaunt (Dearborn, MI, US)

So, honestly I haven’t seen the finished product, it’s a Christmas present for my family. They don’t know about it and we will open together Christmas morning! However, working with this company was awesome! This is the second picture I ordered within 2 weeks because the first one was so easy! Unfortunately, we lost both of our fur babies this year ( within 9 months of each other) . This baby was my girl...and the other was my husbands baby. I know the emotions will be spilling over when he see both pictures!!

My Sweet Girl D'Lylaby Sandra (Massachusetts)

I Love my Sketch of our Sweet Girl! It absolutely captures her sweet nature and sparkle - while eliminating the background in the true photo. This is my second sketch done by MyDaVinci and would return again for another !!

Dogs of Sommerby ann sommer (york, PA, US)

I was so happy with your company. From my initial exploratory contact to the finished product, I had nothing but great interactions. My questions were quickly answered. My suggestions to the sketch were followed exactly. The sketch is exactly what I wanted. It was a gift for my 90 year old father in law and he LOVED it. He hung it up in his family room right away. the rest of my family plans to order reprints, too! Thank you so much for this perfect gift

Beautiful drawing to give to friendby Christine Navez (Hopkinton, MA, US)

I ordered this drawing of a friend's cairn terrier as a birthday present. I was delighted with the quality of the drawing and my friend says that it has captured her dog's expression perfectly. She was thrilled with the present and I was happy to be able to find a unique gift for a special birthday.

Fabulous by Ruth Ross (Newport, OR, US)

The pencil drawing was exactly what I wanted!! Emailed back and forth until it was exactly what I wanted! Love this company so much!!

Sistersby Joesph Kunkle (Baltimore, MD, US)

We felt the customer service was exceptional. We were very happy with our end product. It is important to take into consideration if the picture you are choosing will look like an art piece. Sometimes candids make a better result. It is also important to consider the style whether it be water color, pencil, etc. We were very impressed with this company.

Kaydee by Bonnie Hilliard (Lawrenceville, GA, US)

My granddaughter wanted this to give to her mom on her birthday. She was so happy and excited she gave it to her mom before her birthday. She pointed out the details of Kaydee that the artist captured and was very pleased with the drawing. Will buy again from mydavinci.

Wonderful artby Eric Litsinberger (Columbus, OH, US)

I had a pencil sketch done as a Christmas gift for my daughter. The sketch is awesome and, as promised, it was delivered in time for the holiday. I'm very happy with the experience and more importantly, my daughter and her dog loved 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.

Beautiful Art/POP ARTby shelley sigur (Savannah, GA, US)

I ordered this for my husband for Christmas I enjoy giving gifts that are unique I’ve ordered from Mydavinci before and they never disappoint. I originally ordered this in Hipster Art style and changed it to what you see below. It was easy to communicate with the artist online through email to make changes. I also had it framed. This was the first time having one framed by mydavinci. Excellent and quality work! I highly recommend this company and will definitely order again.

Giftby Jacki Lenox (Staten Island, NY, US)

This is my second purchase from MyDaVinci photo art (and will not be my last). Both pieces were absolutely beautiful and they made very unique, perfect gifts for my friend (of their two children). I loved being able to make subtle changes to the works and even though I ordered them a year apart, somehow they were able to match the color and style from the first piece. It was quick, easy and always more than satisfied. Thank you!

Corgi Memory Photoby Antionett Foster (Hobson, TX, US)

I ordered this drawing for my daughter who recently lost her Corgi Meeko. She loved it! Thank you!

Beautiful Jadeby Donna Kelly (Wilmington, DE, US)

I ordered a pencil sketch and I am extremely happy with the results. Customer service was very helpful with making edits to make sure I was happy with the finished product. Total turn around time was very quick. I would definitely recommend My DaVinci!

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!
