Very Pleasedby Christine Worny (Oak Park, IL, US)

For my four daughters and sons-in-law, I ordered each couple a watercolor painting of their home. I am very pleased with the artwork and the ability I was given to rework some of the details if desired. Although I was concerned that the paintings wouldn't make it to us in time for Christmas, every one of them was received by Christmas Eve at the latest. My only criticism is the poor quality of the frames and the use of plastic instead of glass over the pictures. The frames themselves looked fine when they arrived, but one of them was chipped and damaged in shipping and was obviously made of pressed (not solid) wood. When I contacted the company with photos and a description of the damage, they offered me the option of a new frame or a reimbursement for the damaged frame. So I am quite satisfied with DaVinci's customer service, even though it took a while for the back and forth communications to play out during what must be such a busy time of the year for them. They proved to be quite trustworthy and concerned with customer satisfaction.

Bella by Christina Ellenburg (Jacksonville, FL, US)

The art provided was fabulous. My sister will treasure the rendering of her dog Bella and she already has handing in her office where she will see Bella's drawing every day. The one detail I would have changed is providing some 'white space' around the image This was of no fault to myDaVinci or the artist, but instead me understanding the process. There are many sites that provide this service, but I am sure I selected the best. Thank you!

Phenomenal work of artby Ebonie Harris (Redford, MI, US)

This is my third portrait from this company. Yet again the artist did a phenomenal job and exceeded my expectations. Thank you again, myDavinci.com!

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!

Our special miracle babyby Christine Hinkle (Galloway, OH, US)

My son and daughter-in-law really loved that picture of their son. Such a striking resemblance to the picture I sent you. This is such a precious little boy that was such a miracle baby for my son and his wife. After 10 years of marriage they were blessed with this child .You couldn't have done a better job with sketching my Grandson. I'm sure they will always treasure it always........

Lowryby KIMBERLY HAPPERSETT (Rogers, AR, US)

Great communication, beautiful piece of art that will mean so much to the recipient

Anniversary gift for hubbyby Ellie Brandt (Burr Ridge, IL, US)

This is my husband's favorite photo of us and it was getting a little discolored behind the frame. When I found your website, I knew this would be the perfect gift. I didn't have a digital file or even a negative. I just sent in the photo and within a week, I had this lovely version of my husbands favorite photo. I gave it to him last weekend while celebrating our anniversary in LasVegas and he was truely blown away. "You really hit a home run with this gift....it's perfect", he said through a huge smile. Thank you so much to all the creative people at myDaVinci.com. You made our anniversary even more special.

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!

Stellar!by Felice M. (glen cove, NY, US)

This is my 1st time working with myDaVinci and suffice it to say, it won't be the last. I'm big on customer service and they were "on it". Especially since my order was a rush during the time when most were social distancing and working from home. The photo I submitted was a little on the fuzzy side which made it difficult for the Artist but WOW! What a beautiful job! I received the portrait on time - as promised. I honestly recommend myDaVinci for the art and the service.

Filled With Joy Seeing My Artby Deborah (La Canada Flintridge, CA, US)

I thought my new grand baby's photo would look great as an Andy Warhol subject. Well, it surpassed my expectations. It is so amazing looking and such high quality. I was blown away.

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.

Great Customer Serviceby RHoag (Greenville, SC, US)

The artwork was superb and so was the customer service. I was concerned on size, and the online chat as well as the specifics that I wrote in the order were addressed. I needed this to match my other children's that had been years ago, and myDaVinci was successful. I highly recommend this site.

myDaVinci does great workby Chester Robinson (Englewood, OH, US)

I really appreciate the way that myDaVinci recreates real photos, we greatly enjoy all of the artwork they have done of photos featuring us and our two children.

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!

Showstopperby Heather Defilippis (Sparta, NJ, US)

Love, love, love my new artwork! Getting so many compliments on the print. I had this picture made years ago and don’t know where I put it. Was so happy to see my husband I displayed on your sight. customer service were so helpful, they told me your picture is always on your account and you can access it at anytime. I was able to order another picture with ease.

Looks great!by Deborah Osterberg (Darlington, SC, US)

Well done, captured my mom perfectly!! I love the choice of colours for the background!!

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.

Baby Faceby Anna ()

I was very happy with the pencil portrait of my grandson. The whole process from beginning to end was flawless. Thank you mydavinci.com.

Artist incorporates feedback giving amazing artwork!by Jermy Leeuwis MSc (Nijkerk, GL, NL)

A splendid result! I could only hope for such a result but at its start admittedly I was anxious. I was a first time customer after all. Within a few days I received the first (sketch) artwork. We needed a few rounds to get our comments 'fixed' and together with the artist a fantastic artwork was created. We chose a hi-res download and hi-res it definitely was. We use it in a photogallery on an iPad which plays 24/7. And it will go on our wall: framed as an artwork :-). Thank you, MyDaVinci and the artist Ken Zhang.

Everything I hoped for...by Julianne Olson (Seattle, WA, US)

The result of the photo I sent in was amazing. The pop art of my granddaughter was perfect. It was a gift for my daughter and son-in-law and when they opened it, it was so great to see their jaws actually drop. They were stunned and so surprised. The communication between myself and myDaVinci was excellent. They really delivered with a wonderful product which was delivered exactly at the time they promised. I'd use them again in a heartbeat.

A portrait of my Motherby Robert Wands (St. Charles, IL, US)

I did a hi-res scan of an old family picture from the '50s, then isolated my mother's image. The lighting of the photo was flat, and there were nearly no highlights in her hair, and her earrings got lost in the shadows. Somehow, the myDaVinci artist overcame all of that, found her hairstyle, found her earrings, and reproduced every other feature faithfully, and far better than the original photo. It is a beautiful portrait, and I'll display it with pride. And I wouldn't hesitate to recommend myDaVinci to anyone looking for a sensitive interpretation of a family picture.

Little Manby Sterling Wolf (Wylie, TX, US)

We lost our four year old little man unexpectedly five months ago. It has been difficult since he was so young. I gave this to my wife and she burst out in tears. The details are amazing and there is no question it’s Bruce. You captured his essence and joy in his expression. Thank you for helping us honor his life and be able to see him as he was, daily.

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.

My bosses dogby Blanca Scott (Houston, TX, US)

I got this for my boss and his wife, they loved it. Thank you so much you guys never disappoint.

Homeby Tim M. (Oak Creek, WI, US)

The artwork is beautiful, and the customer service was great. myDaVinci completed the project with a change request, and still made the short date of completion we requested. Our children loved this house warming gift. Thank you myDaVinci for making it happen!😊

My Grands are Grandby Phyllis McCrary (Vestavia, AL, US)

I'm always looking for a way to do something different with all the wonderful pictures I have with my grand children. I just accidentally found this online when I googled pictures to ink. I gave it a try and I'm thrilled with the results. So much I ordered an additional one for the great grandmother. If you're looking for something new to do with a new or old photo, give them a try. P. McCrary

The Pups 🐶 by Kristin Antoine (Osterville , MA, US)

100% thumbs up from start to finish. Great customer service w/ a friendly & personal touch:) Thanx so much to Davinci & to the talented artist for this (Extra) special pencil portrait. We are ALL impressed w/the artists detail & likeness of our pups🐶🦊Highly recommended!

Great by Jannie Jennings (Winder, GA, US)

Very professional and did a great job removing the things in the photo. Awesome job. I’ve used them several times and am always pleased.

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.

JoZ Walesby Julianne Mayville (GLADSTONE, MI, US)

I just love this picture. The artist did a fantastic job replicating the photo I sent. This is our 5th drawing from myDaVinci and they have done a great job on everyone.
