Friendsby Bobby Ruth Cardenas (Lubbock, TX, US)

I emailed a photo of friends to have a pencil drawing done. The artist was ever so good at capturing my friends great smile in the photo. Great work as always. This is the fourth portrait mydavinci has made for me. GREAT WORK!

My daughter’s horseby Michelle Sutton (Meadville, PA, US)

I decided for Christmas I would get my daughter a pencil drawing of her horse. The picture turned out perfect and she loved it. I also purchased one for my husband, he was also pleased with the quality. I will be purchasing three more of our other horses in the near future.

REVIEWby Deborah Conaway (UNIONTOWN, PA, US)

THIS WILL BE A NICE SURPRISE FOR MY FATHER'S 90TH BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION.

Art Work Imageby Becky Crews (Thomaston, GA, US)

This was for my sisters birthday. This was so personal and perfect. Image was just like her. I will be ordering more in the future. Thank you

Fun and Colorfulby Nancy Monarch (Bethesda, MD, US)

My son and daughter in law loved this pop culture photo. We displayed it at their rehearsal dinner at an art museum before their wedding. Many guests admired the Warhol like display.

Portrait of our dogby Sue Barber (Edison, NJ, US)

This is the second black and white portrait of a pet that I had done at my DaVinci. Completely satisfied both times. They're beautiful and the artist did such a great job capturing the essence of each dog.

Beautifulby Cara (Chittenango, NY, US)

I could not have asked for a better portrait. It was exactly how I envisioned it. The artist sent a sample of what they would do prior to the final product so you know exactly what you will get. We had just lost our dog of 13 years and I could not be happier with this.

First Home by Joyce (Novi, MI, US)

My daughter recently purchased her first home. The house is absolutely adorable and she and my granddaughter are extremely happy with it. While thinking of something special to get her for Christmas I came across the myDaVinci site through the New York Times gift recommendations. It looked appealing so I decided to send in a picture of my daughter's home and the result was fantastic. The artist did a wonderful job capturing the essence of the home and followed my instructions to leave off certain non-essential parts of the picture that I sent it. I highly recommend this photo to art site, especially if you are looking for a unique gift for someone special.

Final Productby Brenda Brown (Sandston, VA, US)

This is the second time I have used myDaVinci. Both were absolutely perfect. I have one more grandchild that I will be doing in the next couple of years. Don't hesitate to use them.

Great to work with!by Lalena Johnston (Bozeman, MT, US)

My DaVinci worked with me on this portrait until I was totally satisfied & happy with the finished product. I had it printed on canvas & it looks absolutely gorgeous!

Mr Dee turns 90by Linda Santarossa (Southgate, MI, US)

Family and Friends purchased this caricature for a neighbor celebrating his 90th Birthday. Not only did we love it, Mr. Dee loved it as well. It was the perfect surprise gift to a well deserving friend, neighbor, honorary Dad, Grand-dad, Great Grand-dad. Well done "My Davinci", well done.

Beautiful!by Gina Cestari (Mt. Laurel, NJ, US)

The picture was absolutely gorgeous! My mom was so surprised and thrilled by it. The graphic designer nailed it on the first try. The process was smooth, seamless and quick.

Neekaby Richard Hinchey (Manhasset, NY, US)

The sketch of Neeka was perfect. Beautifully done. It was a gift for my wife. She loves it. Thank you so much.

THE BOYSby Shane Jacobson (Bremerton, WA, US)

I WANTED A UNIQUE SPECIAL GIFT FOR MY WIFE THAT WAS SOMETHING SHE COULD CHERISH THE REST OF HER LIFE. I HAD A SMALLER SCALE SKETCH DONE IN THE PAST FROM SOMEWHERE ELSE (THAT IS NO LONGER IN BUSINESS)THAT I THOUGHT WAS NICE. I SAW THIS ON THE INTERNET AND LIKED WHAT I SAW. I COULDNT BE MORE IMPRESSED WITH THE EASE OF ORDERING,QUALITY OF ARTWORK, AND HOW QUICK IT WAS DONE. ITS A GREAT PRODUCT.

Great Work :)by Destini Coy (Talbott, TN, US)

the artist did very well. This gift was a special gift to my mom,grandmother, and aunt. The two older people in the artwork is my grandma and grandpa and they passed away before my son which is the baby in the artwork was born, they always said they hoped they would still be here when I had kids but sadly that didn’t happened and they passed in 2016 (grandma) & 2020 (grandpa). So, the work you guys put together for me means so so much to us. Thank you :)

Pretty in pinkby Paul Wells (San Tan Valley, AZ, US)

Love the piece. It was made of and for our grand daughter. The company was willing to do a few requested changes during the preview stage and it turned out great.

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.

Show Stopper!by Ann Marie Smith (Oakdale, PA, US)

What a brilliant product. When a visitor walks past it, they literally STOP to admire it. The questions are always the same-where did you get it, how did you think of it, how much was it, is it hard to place an order...Who knew I had so many fans-thanks to myDaVinci!

Craig & Dasher Sleepingby Dwight Ammeson (Sun City, AZ, US)

We lose our baby girl, she was the best mini pin dog ever. She was such a baby wanting to held all the time, she was 13 1/2 years old. I sent a photo in and the return ink rendering was exceptional, better then I ever imagined. Craig cried when he opened his birthday gift. My Davinci out did themselves.

Amazing Detail and Wonderful Giftby Daughter (Charlestown, MA, US)

I ordered this for my mother who recently sold her family's home of 60 years. I chose a picture that I knew that she loved, because it had my grandmother in the front drinking her coffee. I requested that the person in the front and the little white horse on the lawn be included in the painting and was told that, because they were so small that the artist would only be able to include them as an outline. That was not a problem for me. The finished product was absolutely amazing. Not only was my grandmother and the white horse included, but the artist also included a bird feeder that was on the lawn that I hadn't even seen in the picture. My mother was so happy with the painting that we have ordered additional prints to give to other family members. I absolutely would recommend myDaVinci to others.

Even Better Than The Preview!by Gary Solomonson (Minneapolis, MN, US)

The Leonardo's Pop painting we ordered for a wedding gift was even more beautiful when it arrived than when previewed in the online review!! It was a very beautiful piece of art. This is the second time we have used your services, and in both cases, we have been thrilled with the results! It's an amazing thing that you do, and we are very thankful that mydavinci exists. Thanks again for making it possible for us to give a truly unique and meaningful gift.

Dad and sonsby Patricia Sherman (Texarkana, TX, US)

I love my picture!! My husband passed away and in looking for pictures for the visitation I realized it had been years since we had taken a picture of him with our two boys!! I contacted My DaVinci on line, found several snapshots of the three of them and told them what I wanted. They did a fantastic job.

Christmas gift funby Susan Ludlam (San Diego, CA, US)

I was so impressed with the quality and speed in which I received this artwork, especially since I decided at the last minute to have it done. In my haste, I chose a photo taken by a phone and MyDaVinci was able to replicate the personality of my granddaughter, as well as clearing the busy-ness of the background. I highly recommend this company for this fun effect!

Amazing workby Jason Dehne (Sheboygan, WI, US)

This is such a fantastic piece. I had this made for my wife who recently lost her grandmother and never had a good picture of them together. Add in that you were also able to add her mother who passed when she was very young makes this such a precious gift for her. The work is impeccable, and everyone was very kind through the process. It was also done very quickly and shipped in a couple days. Thank you for helping with this and brining such joy to her face when she recieved it.

Great work - gift recipient loved it!by Andrew C (Allston, MA, US)

Commissioned a watercolor piece of a friend's childhood home her family had just sold and she loved it! Great recreation of the reference photo without looking like it just had a filter applied to it.

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.

Beautiful Done and likeness is great. by Marc Riei (Galena, OH, US)

Perfect for a Christmas gift. The artist did a great job. Better quality than other options I’ve seen. Timing was fairly quick for what it is and overall very pleased. My only small complaint was I did check for the artist to sign it and they must have forgotten. But that’s a minor detail. Thank you for making this easy and a beautiful gift.

Christmas Gift for my Husbandby Shannon Williams (Sanford, NC, US)

MyDavinci went beyond my expectations. The communication from this company is phenomenal! Through the entire process, they made sure that my drawing was exactly what I wanted by sending sketches and asking for approval on each one. The artwork arrived in a very timely manner. My husband loves his picture and stated how great of a job this company did. (He has an art and design degree) I highly recommend this company if you are looking for hand drawn artwork. I will definitely use them again!

Absolutely perfect!by Candace Dupuis (West Warwick, RI, US)

I am so pleased with this sketch. It's exactly what I wanted. Although it took longer than expected, it was worth the wait. I highly recommend this company,it's an excellent gift!

Beautiful!by Michelle Kinsley (Winchester, VA, US)

I thought this would make a great gift, but when it arrived it was so much better than I anticipated! They captured our babies eyes perfectly! I couldn't be more pleased and would highly recommend to anyone. Our dog Pops passed away this past year but now we have a beautiful portrait of him hanging on the wall so he is forever with us.
