Perfect gift ideaby Timothy Birchfield (West Liberty, IL, US)

As a typical guy I usually buy present that are practical and useful. I went outside the box to purchase my wife's portrait, and let me tell you I was soooo worried but she absolutely loved it and now wants one done for each member of our family. The canvas option is awesome and I couldn't be happier with how it turned out. Thanks so much.

Sketch from picture by Paula Mezzetta (Pleasanton, CA, US)

The sketch I asked for was perfect! I would recommend my Da Vinci for anyone who is looking for a way to display a picture that is not an actual photograph.

Amazing by Luann White (Mobile, AL, US)

The artwork is amazing. It is absolutely beautiful and looks identical to my fur baby Kota Gerl. Definitely over met my expectations! Could not be happier with my purchase.

Beautiful work of art!by Ebonie Harris (Redford, MI, US)

Words cannot begin to express how happy I was with the beautiful portrait of my dog. I submitted the photo of my beloved, Jubilee the day after she passed away from a long illness. The artist captured the essence of my girl better than the photo I submitted. I will definitely have them create another piece of art for me! Thank you for the wonderful work!

Love It!by Jodi R. (Pompton Lakes, NJ, US)

Gave this to my husband for our 25th Wedding Anniversary.....he was so surprised and absolutely love it just as much as I do! This portrait is replacing our original one that we lost in a house fire 10 years ago. Glad I came across your website! Thank you!

First time experience by Patricia Fortino (gilroy, CA, US)

First time with MyDaVinci! was amazing! Not only extremely pleased with the sketch of my 2 youngest grandkids, the great help with questions I had were answered. I guess me ordering 4 more artworks say it all! Thank You MyDaVinci

amazingby Eren Glasser (Narberth, PA, US)

The great customer service and beautiful product, Would absolutely order more from this company,we are so happy the gift arrived as promised in time for Christmas. I absolutely loved the photo. The company was professional and great to work with. Thank you!

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!!

Worth the effortby Theresa Barton (Memphis, TN, US)

I love my prints!! It took some coordination and several emails to get the same background color on 4 panels, but they came out so cute. It's 4 single panels of my kids. Looks great at the top of the stairs. Brings a smile on my face each morning and night. Thanks for capturing my kids in a fun design!!!

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!

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

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

Very Happy With Purchaseby Mindy Tindle (Reno, NV, US)

My daughter is graduating from high school and I wanted a "fun" gift to go along with her more serious gifts. This totally fit the bill and I was very pleased with the results. I was also extremely happy with how fast the artwork was completed and the fact that they allow you to review the final copy and make any needed changes (didn't have any) before you actually get it.

Beautiful gift for new homeowners.by Elizabeth Phillips (Houston, TX, US)

We purchase framed drawings for our new homeowners, and they have all been very well received. We are happy with the process and products received through myDaVinci.com.

Historic Aberdeen Houseby Jennifer Blake (Aberdeen, MD, US)

I am extremely pleased with the finished product from mydavinci.com. They were professional and reached out to me multiple times to ensure that I would be satisfied. I am delighted with my picture and as it is a Christmas gift, I know the recipient will be too! I will most certainly order from them again!

A very happy boss!by Rhonda Bright (Tukwila, WA, US)

I requisitioned this watercolor of my boss' vacation home for her birthday in October. To say she was happy is an understatement. The artist really captured the best qualities of this place that she holds very dear. As she said "It's my happy place." The framing was done also done very well. She has decided to mount the piece in her office so that she can look at it every day. Major win for this assistant! :-)

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.

Christmas Surpriseby Frances Conrad (Pequannock, NJ, US)

The family loved the Adam & Eve picture that I had made using my parents wedding photo. It was a surprise "bonus" Xmas gift. It looked great. This was ordered within 2 weeks of Christmas & they were extremely fast in getting the preview ready & we received it a few days after approval. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a fun & personal gift.

Awesome Christmas gift ideaby Lisa Bridge (Mount Joy, PA, US)

The folks at myDaVinci were prompt when answering my questions and extremely helpful. Make sure you have a clear, closeup picture so they can do their amazingly accurate and beautiful work. You will not be disappointed! I cannot wait to give this beautiful work of art to the recipient tonight. Thank you myDaVinci for your excellent customer service and highest quality work!

Beach chair pic/purchased for my Brother/Sister-in-law's 40th Anniversary.by Linda (Falmouth, MI, US)

The pic was simple but said "volumes"... The heart in the sand with their names and Anniversary date on it gave it that personal touch and made it so meaningful. Everybody loved it, especially the couple it was purchased for. Glad I found you on the internet. Received it in plenty of time for our event. Thanks again, probably will be checking out your web site again in the future.

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.

Stunning artwork by Whitney Brooks (Bennington, VT, US)

This is the 5th pencil sketch I have purchased from mydavinci and have NEVER been disappointed. Their work is absolutely beautiful and worth every penny.

Love this art work!by (Sachse, TX, US)

I thank the artist who created that caricature for our colleague who was leaving after 17yr. It touched him and made him laugh. All subjects were created as specified, and the main guy - looked very much like our colleague! great job! There was some initial lack of clear communication and I was not able to show a preview at his going away party. That was unfortunate. But it does not detract from the work that the artist accomplished.

Warhol by chris matukas (Clarksburg, ON, CA)

I appreciate the option to have the PDF sent to me vs waiting for the formal print to arrive. This saved me on the cost and provided an expedited option by printing at my local Staples. Thank you, my partner loved her gift - unique and different.

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!

Perfect Giftby Ashley Zammit (Katy, TX, US)

I got this as a gift for my in-laws and they absolutely loved it! This was the house we stayed in while visiting New Orleans and it was a thank you gift for them. It will be something they can keep for ever to always remember our amazing trip!

Outstanding!by Marjorie Hatton (Boynton Bch, FL, US)

I was so pleased with this sketch of Ellie, it captured her personality perfectly! I haven’t given it to my son yet but I know he will treasure it. Thank you for the quick delivery of the proof and I will be back for future projects.

Beyond expectations!by Mary Hough (Vienna, VA, US)

I am thrilled with the beauty and quality of the watercolor painting of our home. The level of detail, blending of colors and exquisite framing will make this the perfect Christmas gift for our family this year. Thanks also to the artist who made the photo come to life. They quickly made the one adjustment I requested too. I wouldn’t hesitate to use your company again. Thank you!

Great keepsakeby Rita Keeling (Fishers, IN, US)

I LOVE the pencil sketch of my home. I had made a lot of modifications through the various emails that were sent to me. MyDavinci wanted to make sure the sketch was exactly what I wanted. They removed some of the larger trees that were obstructing the view of the house, which I had requested. It turned out just perfect.

Bat Mitzvahby Sandra Munter (Chandler, AZ, US)

I don't like the usual Bat Mitzvah photos, so we chose to go the Warhol route. You made a 13 yr old girl feel like a princess on her very special day!!! You made every correction/adjustment to the picture I asked for. Can't wait to use you again!

Little Manby Petra Brooks (Hinesville, GA, US)

I submitted a photo of my husband and our recently deceased dog Little Man. When I received the proof of the drawing, I felt it was beautifully done, but the dog in the drawing did not look like our Little Man to anyone looking at it who knew him. I contacted myDaVinci about my concern and they allowed me to send a different photo and did a new drawing, which came out so amazing, looking JUST like our little guy. This was the third time I ordered art from myDaVinci and I am more than pleased and have recommended them many times.
