Our Dog Pepperby Regina Cloutier (Naples, FL, US)

I was a bit reluctant to order this pencil sketch online because I didn't think the detail would be clear, and it would look more like a "print" than a sketch. I wanted a unique and meaningful gift for my husband, this past Christmas, so I decided to give him a sketch of our dog, Pepper, an all-black German Shepherd. When my husband opened the gift, I almost cried!! The detail of the sketch was absolutely amazing! The artist captured the details of Pepper's eyes, fur, tail, and even the way she was laying on her paw, just beautifully!! We hung our sketch in the Dining Room, where everyone can see and admire this beautiful sketch!

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.

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!

Just like the photoby Laurel York (Asheville, NC, US)

Really nice and I am pleased with the item. Gave as a present to our friend. From a photograph he took of his dog. I did ask for the artist to sign the work, which was not done, but accepted anyway so it’s ok. Would order from Davinci again.

Beautiful productby Ellen Teeman (KATONAH, NY, US)

I am very pleased with the way the water color turned out. The process was easy and whenever I had a question I heard back quickly. It would be helpful if they had a phone number to call instead of emails. Also I suggest the if you need to have the product by a certain date you start the process early since it takes a while especially if you need changes. Also it was very well wrapped for shipping.

Lowryby KIMBERLY HAPPERSETT (Rogers, AR, US)

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

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!

Very happy with the paintingby Michael (NY, US)

This was my first time using DaVinci and I'm very happy with the result. The photos I provided were in winter, but I requested the final painting to be in summer. The artist accommodated this request with flying colors! Thanks a bunch. I would recommend this service to anyone looking for a gift for a new homeowner.

incredible artworkby Kathleen Palmer (Wappingers Falls, NY, US)

I can't express how happy I am and the person who received this picture cried. My son had to leave his dog behind to move 1800 miles away and this picture captured the loving look he always gave my son everynight. To have someone cry over a picture says it all. Thank you thank you for making it so beautiful. I will come to you again.

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 likenessby Steve G (Phoenix, AZ, US)

The artists were able to capture my cat, including his intense stare, and worked with me to integrate the additional text.

Perfect gift by Janet B. (Forked River, NJ )

I must say, the artwork was amazing. The attention to detail was exceptional. The only disappointment was the frame. I thought I was getting a dark wooden frame, and instead, it was a painted frame which was a muddy orange. It really did not complement the picture. I was surprised that the person that put it together would have realized that it did not go...SO, I returned the frame and ended up buying one locally with a mat, which really looked great. BUT, the picture itself came out beautiful and I'm sure my husband will love his Christmas gift!!

Parents 40th anniversaryby Sarah Moya (Jacksonville, AR, US)

This gift was an excellent purchase for my parents 40th wedding anniversary. They absolutely love it! It was a beautiful likeness of them and exactly like the picture. I will definately use this site again.

Even better than the real Andy!!by Veronica Torres (Toronto, ON, CA)

I was looking for the perfect personalized gift and ordered the myDaVinci Andy Warhol 4-panel for my boyfriend for Christmas. What a massive success it was! It got rave reviews from all my family and friends! The colors are amazing, bright and vivid! I ordered it on canvas and it looked just like the real deal! Andy Warhol move over!! myDaVinci is amazing!! I've ordered many items from myDaVinci but this by far was my FAVORITE! We hung it up in my house and get a great response from visitors!! THANKS MYDAVINCI!!! You've got yourself a life-long customer!!

Always a great experidnceby Liz (Columbus , OH, US)

I’ve done a few of these…all pencil sketch of house. My kids moved to new houses this year…they will love these gifts. Very good communication to fix anything I don’t like. Framing isn’t great, but fair price and I was worried I wouldn’t be able to get them framed by Christmas .

Amazing!!!by Julie Norstedt (New Prague, MN, US)

I had a pencil drawing done for my daughter for Christmas, by far her favorite gift. To be able to capture her and her cat with both images so spot on exceeded my expectations!! I loved that I could make adjustments once it was complete, it didn’t need much but the few things they changed made all the difference. You won’t be disappointed with this product! Thank you so much for making my daughter ( and myself) so happy!!!

Beautiful workby Greg Hawes (Houston, TX, US)

We are repeat buyers and always happy with the service and artwork. Response time is fast, and we are given multiple opportunities to review before the final piece is shipped.

Momby Bobby R Cardenas (Lubbock, TX, US)

I found a picture of my Mamaista, while taking care of her. In the picture she was only 15. She is beautiful! I wanted to present it to her before she passed, but that didnt happen. But it's Fantastic, couldn't have asked for anything better. Your wonderful artists did such an awesome job! Thank you a thousand times over!

Madam Nicoleby Gracie Adderly (Fayetteville, NC, US)

I purchased this as a gift for a friend that recently purchased a new home. The recipient was in tears. The painting was spot on! It will look perfect over the Fireplace. This is not my first time purchasing from myDavinci. I've made several purchases. The talent is superb! The painting is exquisite... appearing a bit more appealing than the original photo. The price is reasonable- considering the great talent. Of course, I'll be back!

WONDERFUL GIFTby Shawn Moore (Lewisville, TX, US)

My husband purchased this gift for me for Christmas. I was so thrilled as my Doggie Teddie is my baby and I love him dearly. Great Job, Wonderful gift to cherish forever! Thank you

Life long memoriesby Andrew Hawes (Louisville, KY, US)

We are very satisfied with MyDavinci! The quality of the artwork and artistry is fantastic!

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.

WESTHAM “GOAT” Carlo Muccigaby Sheila Mucciga (Fort Myers, FL, US)

I was thrilled with my purchase and I cannot wait to give this canvas print to my son! The likeness your artist captured from the photo I provided was absolutely perfect 👌🏻 I was truly impressed with the soccer team WESTHAM uniform also added as I requested! Everything from the start of ordering to the speed and efficiency in completing the artwork was just great!! I will absolutely order again and highly recommend mydavinci!

In Memory of Colinby Elizabeth Weber (Fairport, NY, US)

My husband and I are extremely pleased with My DaVinci. The artist did an excellent job. Additionally, after sending the first draft, we quickly received the final revision that incorporated my revisions. And overall, I received the finished product in a very timely manner.

Amazing product, quality, and turnaround time! by cale henry (columbus, OH, US)

Such a great, great experience with mydavinci.com! A few days after your order is submitted, you receive a template of what your artwork will look like. I submitted feedback requesting a small change, and it was completed within 24 hours! After that, I received my artwork in the mail within 2 days. The quality is amazing and top notch! I cannot recommend this company enough!

Perfect Presentby Eric L (Eagan , MN, US)

I had this drawing done for my sisters for a Christmas present. Unfortunately both of our parents had passed away very young and before their grandchildren were born so there weren't ever going to be any pictures of them all together. With the wonderful assistance of the people at myDaVinci, they created this group picture after many fine tunings from trying to combine 2 different pictures. I gave the picture to my sisters at Thanksgiving and just by the emotional reactions from them, as well as the kids, it was very apparent that they were thrilled with the drawing. Having something with our parents and the grandkids, that would never have happened, will be enjoyed for years to come. I can't recommend myDaVinci more if you are contemplating have a picture recreated. They are patient, professional and the artist is spectacular. I can't Thank them enough for bringing this idea for a present to fruition!

Our pupsby Monica Pajewski (Wenonah, NJ, US)

Cannot believe how amazing it turned out. It exceeded my expectations and brought tears to my eyes instantly. I was happy with the preview but when it arrived (super quickly might I add!) I was so stunned to see how realistic and perfect it turned out. I cannot wait to give it to my spouse for Christmas he is going to cry- so perfect. Will be ordering more.

Beautiful workby Amy Armstrong (Daphne, AL, US)

I submitted a photo of a friend’s grandchild and wagon I wanted painted as a gift. It turned out beautiful! Perfect gift!

Fantastic by JOEANN FOGLE (Las Vegas, NV, US)

I have purchased 10 pictures from this company and every one has its on look. It started with my grandson when he was 3 months old and has continued. Our latest picture was 2025 my grandson is fifteen. It is a great way to save memories of both of us together. You will love their work.
