our sonby Patricia Fortino (gilroy, CA, US)

This is my eldest son and his girlfriend. They were very happy with their picture. And again, our entire family was very happy. Can't say enough about MyDavinci.

My Sweet Girl D'Lylaby Sandra (Massachusetts)

I Love my Sketch of our Sweet Girl! It absolutely captures her sweet nature and sparkle - while eliminating the background in the true photo. This is my second sketch done by MyDaVinci and would return again for another !!

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.

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!

Bo in her boxby JOHN BARTEL (Lewisville, TX, US)

I have ordered a lot of art from Davinci and they never disappoint me. This is my grand daughter sitting in the drawer under parents stove. It captures her perfectly.Davinci does a wonderful job in presenting my family memories to my wife . Thanks again

So fun!by Susan Walters (Mayer, AZ, US)

The kids are going to love this! My DaVinci does such great work. Fun gifts for anyone!

Pencil Drawingby Kelly Cartwright (West Fork, AR, US)

Overall, I felt this to be excellent. I did need to go back a couple of times to request modification of the drawing but this was done promptly and to my instructions. And, as a gift, the persons receiving it were so delighted. We would most definitely consider using myDaVinci again. Very, very good!

Cousins Digging by Shirley Johnson (Santa Rosa Beach, FL, US)

Lovely, just what we wanted. The preview was perfect, the painting arrived as promised protected well in a cardboard tube. It is getting framed now. Family likes it so much, we’ll be ordering copies, smaller versions of ours, for them. Sharing the beautiful work.

Fabulousby Stacie Christensen (BOISE, ID, US)

I bought this as a surprise for my husband, for our anniversary. The image exceeded my expectations. Our images are flawlessly incorporated into the painting, and the textured art paper showcases the image beautifully. I would definitely recommend their portraits. I know it will not be my last.

Beautiful and Inspired My Wifeby HAROLD MCGINNIS (ACWORTH, GA, US)

The artwork was superb! It is of my wife's family home that had to be sold when her Mom passed away. It was difficult for her! When she opened the package and saw the art, she immediately started crying and just staring at the photo. She took the photo and clinged it to her heart for a long time. Thank you so much for what you did for my wife!!

Absolutely Magnificent!by David Wood (Ozark, MO, US)

I thought it impossible to make my exquisite fiancé any more beautiful than she is and the artist at myDaVinci somehow created a magnificent work of art that brought an ephemeral, dreamy opulence to her natural beauty!! Absolutely captures the essence of her beauty and the canvas belongs in a gallery but I will treasure it myself!

Mr. Peepersby Kim Voorhees (Piscataway, NJ, US)

Mr. Peepers (Mel) is a rescue cat, who rescued who? Mr. Peepers is the light of my mothers life and she loved this picture I took recently of him so I knew I had to do something special for her. I right went to MyDavinci to create something she can smile every time she goes into her living room and she does. Thank you again for making such wonderful life time gifts or your customers.

Beyond impressedby Jeff (Bentonville, AR, US)

Purchased this as a wedding gift for a family member. This was last minute as they decided to get married only a couple weeks ago. The couple does all their RenCon festivals so I thought what better gift than a royal painting! I downloaded the appropriate pictures 8 days before the wedding. The next day received a review of what the canvas would look like and approved the picture. To my surprise I got a tracking number showing the canvas had been shipped and the canvas arrived 7 days after I ordered! This thing turned out great, was impressed not only with the quick turn around but also the quality of the print. I did not expect to have it in time to give the couple at the wedding but I did, and they loved it! Thank you so much for the quality work, expedited shipping, and excellent communication along the way!

Aspenby Beth Durbin (Allison Park, PA, US)

This is the second dog sketch we have purchased through myDavinci The sketches are exceptional. The attention to detail in capturing, not only each dog’s physical characteristic, but their soul is uncanning. Any requests for changes are immediately addressed and done exactly as requested. Each sketch was completed and received as promised and in a most timely fashion. This is an outstanding company from product to customer service. If I could give more than a five-star rating, I would. If you are considering having a sketch made of a beloved pet, you have found the best. Your search ends here.

So very happy....by Guy Ehlers (Casper, WY, US)

We had asked for my wife to appear as the Mona Lisa, and myself to appear as an observer in a museum. The result was better than we could have hoped for... the images looked just like us, and the detail was incredible. The artist captured the perfect perspective, added details such as ropes, wooden floor, floor molding, perfect lighting and shadows in a hallway... just incredible detail. Many folks have seen this and we have received very positive comments. We could not be happier !!

Perfect Gift! by Shelly Walden (Dunkirk, MD, US)

Wonderful artwork! I love this one of my son and his girlfriend. I ordered two recently. The other was for an office of 29 people, we had a few adjustments before getting the final but myDaVinci was very easy to work with and patiently made adjustments and sent back until it was perfect.

Larryby Sarah Randll (Santa Ana, CA, US)

I am very happy with the drawing done of my daughter’s kitty. Although the photo I liked best couldn’t be used, this was a good substitution. The process was very easy and I received the drawing quickly. I know the drawing will bring a smile to my daughter’s face on her birthday.

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.

My Father Lives onby Rui Sousa (Vernon, CT, US)

My Father died on June 4th, in making preparations we found that we did not have a really good photo of him to display for the funeral. After searching for day's we found one. We tried to enlarge it ourselves, and found that we could only make it so large before it lost its impact. A friend suggested having it turned into a painting. The cost was minimal and the finished product's value to my family far outweighed the financial impact. I recommend My Davinci.com to anyone I can now.

Beautiful!by Carrie Poston (Florence, SC, US)

I recently purchased a sketch of my husband and son for my husband's first father's day. I am amazed at the quality of the work. The artist produced a beautiful sketch, amazingly detailed. My husband loves it and so do I! I have been recommending My DaVinci to family and friends. You cannot beat the quality of work and price.

This is my fourth pencil sketchby Stacy Goodwin (Lake Forest, CA, US)

Thank you to the artist for a beautiful job once again. I only have one more to go then I'll have all my five dogs over the last 30 years sketched

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 .

Great Likenessby Tricia ONeal (Saint Louis, MO, US)

I gave them a picture of my sister and BIL’s Briard Dog. It was done in pencil. It is remarkable. I would have liked a little bit more color but Briards are usually a light fawn, white and this one is 10 and had gray in him. Not much you can do to add color to that. This is going to be their Christmas present. I am very happy with the end product. Would certainly recommend.

Antique truck watercolor by Bernadette Cummings (Walpole, MA, US)

We just received our watercolor painting of my father-in-law's antique truck. It is absolutely gorgeous. It looks just like the photo. The ordering process and communication was seamless. This is my 3rd order with My Davinci and I will definitely be ordering again!

Pretty in pinkby Paul Wells (San Tan Valley, AZ, US)

Love the piece. It was made of and for our grand daughter. The company was willing to do a few requested changes during the preview stage and it turned out great.

Not what I expected by Kimberly Juarez (Houston, TX, US)

My level of satisfaction is immeasurable. My life has been made I look at this painting and my heart aches a little bit less. Thank you to the truly talented artist for bringing the two people I love the most together.

JoZ Walesby Julianne Mayville (GLADSTONE, MI, US)

I just love this picture. The artist did a fantastic job replicating the photo I sent. This is our 5th drawing from myDaVinci and they have done a great job on everyone.

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.

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.

Mollyby Debra Napolitano (Middletown, NY, US)

This is a Christmas Present for my daughter. She will absolutely love this. I have had several pieces made through the years, and have been very pleased and happy with them all. Thank you!!
