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!

Wonderful !by Malcolm Windsor (Olathe, KS, US)

We are so pleased with the painting. Looking at it brings back great memories. The artist took great care and captured the scene very well.

Schnoodle Love IIby Mary Stepura (Cary, NC, US)

Same review as on the other picture I ordered. Have to add a mat to the outside of the drawing making the total size when framed much larger than I intended. Might be helpful to share on your site that the drawing will fill the entire page and to allow for a mat and frame which will make the final piece at least 1-2 inched larger in total size.

Family photoby Dave McLelland (Walnut Creek, CA, US)

This beat my expectations

i absolutely love the artwork and is very lifelike. Good job

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.

A generational gift! by Jill Fox (Aurora, IL, US)

This sketch was such a delight to give and was received with joy! My son and his wife hope this is their forever home and spoke of having this sketch on display as generations that come after them enjoy this space. I could not have asked for more and am thankful to My DavVnci for making this caliber of art so accessible.

Family pictureby James Davis (Mandeville, LA, US)

Love the art work. Could not be happier and I'm sure my wife will love the pencil art drawing of her family. Thank you. It will be cherished for a very long time.

Drawn sketch by Christine S. (Seven Hills, OH, US)

I am very pleased with my drawing. I felt customer service was very responsive during the creation process and that the modifications I requested on the actual sketch were done how I envisioned. I’m very grateful for the ability to have been able to put together multiple images. This is the only picture I will ever have of all three of my children together before my youngest passed away. Having this drawing to see brings me so much joy. The artists at mydavinci are truly talented.

A great father's day gift!by Jolene (Stagecoach, NV, US)

My husband was so surprised when I gave him this pencil sketch of him and our new baby girl for his 1st father's day! It's a priceless gift that will last forever.

Lovely watercolorby Lynn Polan (Chatham Township, NJ, US)

My Da Vinci did a wonderful job turning our photo into a painting. The artist was very responsive to requests for modifications and we are very happy with the final result. Thanks to My Da Vinci.

Beautiful Workby Caroline Attaway (Milledgeville, GA, US)

Good communication. I think there is a quite a time difference because it would take a while for them to reply, but I did have a few edits that needed to be made. Overall I loved the drawing and so did my mother who received it as a gift. I will definitely use them again! Thank you!

Once again...absolutely beautiful!! by Kimberly F (Apollo Beach, FL, US)

This is the 4th item that I've had done through My DaVinci, and the 4th time that I have been amazed! This sketch was as beautiful as the others! I love My DaVinci, and will contine to look for Photos to transform into Art!

Excellentby MaryLynn Scott (Lees Summit, MO, US)

Experience with myDaVinci was the best. Easy to order, received a preview to approve and shipped quickly in a good quality container. Very pleased with myDaVinci and will definitely use for my next kitty.

Back in timeby THELMA THERIAULT (CARSON CITY, NV, US)

Thank you so much for a job well done. I bought the photo for a Christmas gift and my husband really enjoyed receiving it. I also showed the picture to many friends and I sent them your web site. I am looking into photos that I am going to have made for my son and daughter-in-law's anniversary. It is so much fun choosing the perfect photo gift. You have a great selection of photo art to chose from! Thanks again.

Beautiful depiction of parents' homeby Laura Donorfio (Middlebury, CT, US)

This colored pencil work was purchased by me and my siblings as a gift for our parents and they absolutely loved it. As soon as my mom saw it she said with excitement, "It's our house." She immediately took down another picture they had hanging in their home and replaced it with this. I highly recommend the artwork as well as the matting and framing. It's worth it!

Love it!by Richard Bruess (Boulder, CO, US)

We love this drawing. It turned out beautifully. The people at myDaVinci were very helpful, suggesting improvements to the final picture.

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.

Cutest picture everby Srinuan Sinning (New Bern, NC, US)

Clarity was amazing! No blurred lines, everything was crisp and detailed. Designer did a great job of transforming my Dane into a beautiful ladylike pose. Got initial picture for review and we thought the hat was not at all flattering so another hat picture was sent. The design artist incorporated the hat into the picture and viola! The perfect picture was created. This is my fourth purchase from mydavinci and I’ve loved everything I’ve received. Thank you so much!

Bravo!by Gayle Miller (Hopewell, NJ, US)

It turned out way better than anticipated! It's a bit scary to think someone you never met could actually capture a feeling from a photo and reproduce it. I just love the way it turned out! It's subtle, soft and perfect. This is my 3rd time ordering from you guys. I've never been disappointed. Happy New Year.

Awesome Gift!by Brandi Erickson (Kansas City, KS, US)

I ordered this for my daughter's 13th birthday. We gave her room a complete make-over and surprised her with the picture at Christmas. She absolutely LOVES IT!! I think any teen girl would LOVE to have something so unique and personal as this hanging in their room. She loves walking in and seeing the portrait above her bed. Your company followed my instructions perfectly and we are VERY pleased with the results! Thank you!

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!

Grandchildrenby David McKissick (Manassas, VA, US)

I had this made for a lady I love from a photo of her grandchildren. Actually I used a couple of photos and I was almost a pest in asking for changes which were done. Everyone who has seen this painting marvels at it. It is a keepsake. Thank you.

Better than expectedby Alicia Fryslie ( Iowa, US)

This watercolor has the perfect amount of color and detail to showcase our hospital! It makes a great gift for a loyal volunteer and myDaVinci was so easy to work with....they sent a proof quickly and once approved the painting arrived not long after. Will definitely use them again.

Sketch of Lifelong Homeby Holly Kemp (Tonawanda, NY, US)

Thank you mydavinci for a beautiful commerative drawing of my parents' home of 50 years! My Mom and our family will treasure it forever. Your company was a pleasure to work with, quickly sending updated versions and answering my questions. I've already told many people where I purchased the drawing.

Amazing work!by MGD (BENTON, AR, US)

This is the 3rd time I have used myDaVinci and I am yet again extremely impressed! You should be able to make up your mind just in looking at the reviews/pictures but I highly recommend if you are considering. I have had 3 different pieces created in 3 mediums (pencil sketch, colored pencil and watercolor) and all have turned out better than I had hoped. Makes for a very thoughtful gift that lasts forever. Repeat buyers tip - Assuming you don't have a special frame the piece needs to go in, have it shipped in a frame they sell. So much better having it ready to go when you receive. (I did not opt for this option on my first to save money)

Twotooby Barb Little (Champaign, IL, US)

Very impressed with the finished product, how user friendly the process was and how fast it was completed. It was a present and she loved it

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.

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.

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!!
