Maggie Too our German Shepherdby David L. Heeres (Sequim, WA, US)

This is our second print from My DaVinci. Our first was of our German shepherd Heidi. The prints are quite good and the staff are professional and accommodating. But, more importantly, our dog Maggie Too believes that My DaVinci captured her beauty extremely well. Woof, woof!

Perfect gift for my husbandby Meghan (St. Louis, MO, US)

After seeing a personalized artwork on tv, my husband loved this idea and finding this website has made my gift perfectly! The artist did a wonderful job putting my husband's face on a famous piece of art! The process was so easy. Now I’m wanting one of my own to make a collection! Would highly recommend!

ink drawing from photoby Rosemary Vacc (Highland Heights, OH, US)

I found the staff very helpful and accommodating. when asked if I wished changes, in error, I failed to include one other change--I However was very pleased with the rendering, and the service. You worked with me although the quality of the photo was substandard for this.

House picture by Kelley Trott (Terrell, NC, US)

Thank you for the beautiful watercolor of my sister’s home. They raised their children in this home, but recently moved. It was a house warming gift, and they LOVED it! It is hanging now inside their front door as a reminder of all the memories made there. Again, thank you.

Great solution for enlarging a low res photoby Karen S. (Bedford, TX, US)

We wanted to have a large portrait of my father for his memorial service, but most of the photographs we had were low resolution and couldn't be enlarged to the size we wanted without significant pixelation. This digital painting was a good balance between cost and turn around time. It was a very fast process and I was sent a proof to approve within a day or 2. It was well protected during shipment. The only thing I would do differently in the future is find a frame first and purchase the size to match the frame. Due to the size I ordered, off the shelf frame selection was limited. This was a great service and the smoothness of the transaction was greatly appreciated during a very stressful time.

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!

Fabulous workby Scott Witham (Chehalis, WA, US)

My wife’s cat passed and it’s the last real thing that belonged to her late husband. This art will keep not only Oscar the cat alive but a constant reminder of her late husband Darren.

Beautiful Rendition of my Wisha Lisa!by Amanda Hills (Newhall, CA, US)

The canvas was beautiful and the brush strokes that were applied to the horse's head look whimsical and natural. I would have given this 5 stars, but I believe the hands on the painting are too dark. I wish I had realized this, prior to purchase. However, I am overall pleased with my Wisha Lisa!

Kittensby Vikki Milsted (Mill Creek, WA, US)

the artist captured the kittens perfectly and did an outstanding job! This is the 3rd time I've purchased drawings from myDavinci and I couldn't be happier! Definitely a returning customer...

myDaVinci delivered as promisedby Mark Tooman (Ottawa Hills, OH, US)

I used myDaVinci for a Christmas present to my wife. They nailed the sketch from the digital photo I sent to them. They also got the art to me in time for Christmas. I was very pleased. This was the first time I used them and will do so again in the future.

Matthewby Deana Darnstaedt (Valparaiso, IN, US)

This is a masterpiece! I absolutely love it! I can't believe how well it turned out. You can't even tell he was sleeping in his car seat. He looks peaceful and perfect. I was worried about the turn around time, but I received the final picture weeks before planned. Thank you so much, I'm sure my fiance' will love it for his birthday! I know I do! I definately will be using your site again soon!

Ink Drawn Homeby Casey Scott-Mitchell (Phoenix, AZ, US)

Fast service, exactly what I was looking for, and the framing looked really nice. This will be the perfect present for a friends' wedding anniversary!

Excellent painting by Robert Smallman (Merrill, WI, US)

The 11 x 14 painting was an excellent representation of the house, based on the photo I had uploaded. I was surprised at how quickly it was completed — and yet how beautifully it was done. I’m very pleased with the resulting work and can’t wait to surprise my wife on our anniversary.

Gracieby Tammy Morris (Oxford, AL, US)

It looks just like my baby, it is so beautiful.

Color Pencil Drawingby Gail Zopfi (Crystal , MN, US)

I was very pleased with the process and timing on my order. I approved the drawing, but as of now, I have not looked at the original drawing and it is packaged so nicely and it is a Christmas gift. I would order from this company again.

very sweetby Meagan Sobel (Orlando, FL, US)

i loved the picture, we got married on the beach so it fit perfectly. I wish our life was more like that lounging away on the beach! I also wish i would have gotten it bigger! I'll know for next time. Thanks so much!

Beats Dressing Up!by Patricia A. Spayd (Williamsburg, VA, US)

I love myDaVinci artwork. This is the second 17th Century type of painting that I've commissioned and I love it. Nothing like getting an elaborate painting and it's a great plus not having to get all dressed up for it! High quality, promptly shipping and checking to see if any changes are needed. I changed my Ali ring slightly and the modification was made. Even added my black cat!

Better than I thoughtby Stephanie Scott (Brentwood, TN, US)

I got this as a Father's Day gift and I was pleased when they sent me my preview via e-mail. I received the picture and was so impressed- it looked better than I ever imagined.

Very Pleased!by Brian Denney (Eubank, KY, US)

I'm so happy with this piece of art. This was a special gift for my wife for Christmas but I was so excited about it that I had to let her have the gift before Christmas. The sketch is a sketch of my wife and her parents. Her mother died last year and her father passed away this year. My wife really loves this sketch.

Perfect renditionby Mary Anne (HUSTISFORD, WI, US)

The photos I sent were scanned versions of old photos with poor resolution. The artist worked with it and truly captured my dad's look. There were several details I never even thought about that the artist captured, such as the light colored mole under his left eye and his slightly crooked smile. It is a gift for one of my siblings. I couldn't be happier.

Amyby Deborah Vanatta (Sanford, FL, US)

Beautiful. Wanted to do this for my pup for years - just kept putting it off. Thought it would be time consuming or difficult to set up. However, super easy process. Very pleased with product!

Hand drawn pet photoby Kristine Brass (Pennington, NJ, US)

This is my second purchase from myDavinci. Both experiences were great. The ordering process is simple, myDavinci is responsive, they provide a preview of the work before it is finalized so you can request edits. Both of the items I purchased were gifts and the recipients love them.

Beautiful Painting of Our Houseby David Lightfoot (Everett, WA, US)

I ordered this for my wife, who has not seen the painting yet. I'm giving it to her for our anniversary. We've been married for 13 years. She owned this home before we met but we've got a lot of great shared memories here. I think she is going to love it!

Ken Grant - Piperby Ken Grant (Parker, CO, US)

this came out very nice. It was a present for my better half and she loves it. I don't know why it says "Ken" in the lower corner. No worries. It will be a nice piece for my spouse's office.

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.

The kids!by Shawn Earle (Calgary, AB, CA)

I absolutely love the sketch as does my wife. Everything happened as advertised in terms of timeline and the customer service was great. We will definitely be using this service again in the near future. I have already recommended it to several family members and friends.

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.

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.

Me and my boyfriendby Cathryn Samson (Huntley, IL, US)

I was so pleased with my pencil sketch. The sketch was better than the photo. The artist sketched the missing part of the female face and it was accurate and done perfectly. You would not know that 1/4 of the photo was missing. I received my sketch rather quickly and I would highly recommend DaVinci Photo Art to anyone.

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.
