Wonderfulby Barb Fisher (Pembroke Pines, FL, US)

OMG, where do I start? I ordered this picture for my Veterinarian for the holidays. We had secretly taken photos of his dog he brings to work everyday. I submitted my order so late that I did not think it was going to be ready for the holidays. But to my surprise it was reviewed and an emailed proof was sent in just a few hours!!!! I noticed the collar was upside down, so I asked if that could be fixed. A new email proof was sent the next day with the collar facing upright. The gorgeous picture was sent within a week!!! Needless to say I gave it to him and he has not stopped talking about it to this day. His family also loved it! The only problem is that they cannot decide where to hang it, in the office or at home. I know he has referred the website to everyone that has also loved the picture. I just want to say thank you so very much for the outstanding customer service you provide. I hope to be back to order one for myself.

My Davinci homeby Kim LoBiondo (Wayne, NJ, US)

I always get nervous ordering things from the internet however I was extremely pleased with this transaction. I was able to reach them by phone and ask my questions. They were very helpful and stayed in touch throughout the process. The finished product was beautiful and I would recommend them to everyone.

Dog pop artby Nicholas Losasso (Phoenix, AZ, US)

Really unique gift for the dog lover in your life. Uploading and creating was easy. They send you a proof to review and approve or request changes. I chose to change the finish style. Within a day they had a revised proof. Love it, highly recommend

Poppyby Dawn Eastes (Nolensville, TN, US)

I submitted a photograph of my best friend's little rescue dog. She lives on Vancouver Island, British Columbia in Canada. This will be her birthday present and she knows nothing about it. She is traveling here right now, even as I'm typing this, to visit with family members who live near me outside of Nashville. I'm thrilled with how the pencil sketch turned out and would recommend this artwork group to anyone. It was done to my specifications and was also received in plenty of time for her birthday in just a few days. Thank you very much. She is going to be so surprised. Well done!

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 :)

Sunny day by Randy Decker (Huntington Beach , CA, US)

This was a gift for my wife because it was taken from a photo of our first Fourth of July together. I knew my wife loved the photo so I was very pleased when she saw this pencil rendition and loved it too. The cost and wait time were both very reasonable for such a unique gift idea.

REVIEWby Deborah Conaway (UNIONTOWN, PA, US)

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

My client cried when she saw it!by Cameron Sorensen (Holladay, UT, US)

I am impressed each and every time I have a home drawn for a client of mine, something I try to give each Seller that sells a home. There is something about looking at the drawing of your old home, inside a frame on your wall, that makes you pause, reflect and remember the joyous memories that were created in that home. This one was no different. As soon as my client opened up the gift, she started to cry. Tears of joy and appreciation. Thank you for always going above and beyond and to your skillful artists that always capture every detail. It means the world to me and my clients.

Easy to work with!by Jeanne Johnson (Seattle, WA, US)

Very easy to work with the artist, we went through a few edits and the final product came out exactly as I hoped! Given as a Christmas gift for my parents and they immediately hung the painting on the wall.

Christmas Hitby Michael C Burkhardt (Marlborough, CT, US)

The painting made my wife's Christmas. I don't know what better words I could write. It was easy. The product is phenomenal. You won't be sorry.

Great Workby bill mead (salt lake city, UT, US)

I am very impressed with this company. I needed the work done quickly and they did every thing they could to get my job done and delivered. My wife loved the picture. We were married at a later stage of our lives. She has always wondered what we would have been like if me married at 21 years old. MyDaVinci made that happen for her. This was a very good experience for me. I am glad I found MyDaVinci.

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........

Novaby Steve Riggs (West Warwick, RI, US)

I am so happy with the oil painting of Nova, my girlfriend's dog who passed away a few years ago. She absolutely loved the portrait with tears in her eyes after she saw it. She said it looks just like him. The said it was the best Xmas gift she's ever received. Thank you MyDivinci for the wonderful work of art.

Perfect!by Ann Runkel (Chelan, WA, US)

I have ordered several of these now as gifts for family members. It is such a great way to capture a memory and special moment. The drawings have all been an excellent representation of subject. Also appreciate how easy to order online and how quickly I received .

Violet Bank Museum Watercolorby Pamela Wallace (Colonial Heights, VA, US)

Words cannot express how pleased I was with this piece. This was a gift for a parting council member and was presented to him last evening. Our Mayor and the entire City Council was exceptionally pleased with the quality of the piece. I will be using myDaVinci again for my personal items and most likely again, as well, for gifts such as this.

Male bondingby Frieda Herman (Magnolia,, DE, US)

While I had a little difficulty at the beginning of the process, once the photos were resent, I am very pleased with the results. I love having a preview and input for changes to the end result. In my case, the baby had a hat in the photo that I asked be removed. This is my second experience with you and I am again very pleased. I also recommend you to people who see the artwork and ask where it was done. Thank you.

Wonderful keepsake by Staci Smallwood (Waycross, GA, US)

My mother passed away a year ago. My dad tried to live by himself, but couldn’t. We had to sell his house that he and my mom had lived in for over 60 years. I knew he was homesick, so I ordered this drawing for him for Christmas. He loved it! They did an awesome job and the commutation was excellent throughout the entire process.

A Different Perspective of Vintageby John Marquez (Pico Rivera, CA, US)

I was taken back to see my Mom and Dad in a new perspective of their Wedding Photo. A beautiful pencil drawing. It was a flashback to anew. This will be a gift to my Mom for her Birthday that I'm sure will leave her breathless. Thank You.

Absolutely beautiful!by Camille Chadwell (Cheektowaga, NY, US)

Absolutely beautiful! These are my Granddaughter's dogs and she cried when she opened her Christmas gift. Kudos to the artist who did this EXACTLY as I specified. Would absolutely do this again. WELL WORTH THE PRICE!

Dogs in Heavenby William McVay (Midland, GA, US)

My three dogs passed away over a nine month period. We had one poor image with all three of them together, littered with furniture, plants and my hairy legs. The myDaVinci artist removed the trash, and gave me the exact impression I was looking for. It took my breath away when I saw the proof. It is truly a gift that my family will treasure forever.

In Memory of our Petby Nancy Andrews (Stevensville, MI, US)

Words cannot express the feelings upon seeing "PIP" in a sketch! I have used your services in the past but never a personal photo being recreated. I have recommended mydavinci to several people and am definitely going to keep this idea for future pets!! THANK YOU

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!

Great watercolor!by Simon Webb (Glen, NH, US)

I wanted to find a meaningful housewarming gift for my daughter for her first house, and am so glad I chose a MyDaVinci watercolor. Most importantly, my daughter and her partner absolutely love it. It captured the light streaming through the trees behind the house beautifully. I was very please with the process to preview the painting virtually first before proceeding to frame and ship.

Beautifully detailedby Lexanne Hamilton (New York, NY, US)

The photo I sent wasn't the best so I expected a sort of impressionist drawing at best. Imagine my surprise when a beautifully detailed and colored pencil drawing arrived. The artist must have zoomed in to get such faithful detail. The whole drawing gave exactly the mood I hoped for - a simple yet dramatic house in a lush forest. The recipient was so delighted and couldn't stop exclaiming over it. The only downside was that I ordered it framed - before I opened the package to wrap it, I heard the tinkling sound of many pieces of broken glass - and sure enough the glass covering the art had shattered somewhere in the shipping process. It hadn't harmed the art itself and I think I would have had it reframed anyway with a mat that enhances the colors - and now I definitely will do that. Otherwise A++++ experience with excellent communication about approval or possible changes (I had none) and the art arrived in plenty of time, just as promised.

Woman and babyby Jeffrey Leach (New Albany, OH, US)

After a couple of well done and quick revisions, this beauty was put on full public display and has been reaping rave reviews ever since. Everyone loves this picture. Thanks, Jeff

My Granddaughter's Pictureby Gregory Beamer (Pomona, CA, US)

I really did some homework before picking myDaVinci, and still was not prepared for the product or the service. You can't beat this company for dedication to detail, speed and accuracy of their products. We hung it in our guest bedroom, and told each other that we knew our daughter's remarks when she saw it - we both won - "I want it!" Thanks for being true to your advertising, and you have great artists on staff!

Love itby Leigh Tilley (Kernersville, NC, US)

I absolutely couldn’t have asked for a better picture of my fur baby! This is the third drawing I’ve had done by My Davinci. Ordering one for my mom of her fur baby for Mother’s Day.

Always very satisfiedby Katherine Wicke (Hereford, AZ, US)

This particular caricature is the sixth one I've had made up in the last year. As I've always been.... I was very satisfied, and pleased with how it came out. The artists at My DaVinci have always worked with me and made any corrections and/or additions that I requested. These make terrific, and fun gifts that everyone I've given them to, has truly enjoyed. I'm sure I'll be having more made up in the near future.

So happyby Sonja Rothe (Woodstock, NY, US)

This was my second pencil drawing from my Davinci. They are both fantastic! The second one was for a friend and she and her husband love it as much as I love mine. Both of the fogs are gone now and these portraits are truly a meaningful memorial. Thank you!

Perfect birthday gift for 60th birthdayby Janette Tepas (Barrington, IL, US)

This is at least the fourth masterpiece style gift I’ve purchased from myDaVinci, and the artists always knock it out of the park with how great they are able to make my friends look. It’s hard to come up with a fun, but also sweet gift for people our age, and this just brings great fun to the birthday Or anniversary. I will continue to order more in the future. So much better than a simple selfie...look better than your best with myDaVinci.
