Great Picture Of Our Nephews First House by David Acaster (Lancaster, PA, US)

Did a great job at replicating the picture and making it look exactly like the one sent them. Loved the attention to detail in the artwork. The artist had some questions and suggestions about making the artwork look the way we wanted it to look. They were very easy to communicate with and responded quickly. Will be placing a few more orders to do drawings of our doggies that have passed away.

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!

Amazing workby Jason Dehne (Sheboygan, WI, US)

This is such a fantastic piece. I had this made for my wife who recently lost her grandmother and never had a good picture of them together. Add in that you were also able to add her mother who passed when she was very young makes this such a precious gift for her. The work is impeccable, and everyone was very kind through the process. It was also done very quickly and shipped in a couple days. Thank you for helping with this and brining such joy to her face when she recieved it.

Little Manby Sterling Wolf (Wylie, TX, US)

We lost our four year old little man unexpectedly five months ago. It has been difficult since he was so young. I gave this to my wife and she burst out in tears. The details are amazing and there is no question it’s Bruce. You captured his essence and joy in his expression. Thank you for helping us honor his life and be able to see him as he was, daily.

Beautiful Painting of Our Houseby David Lightfoot (Everett, WA, US)

I ordered this for my wife, who has not seen the painting yet. I'm giving it to her for our anniversary. We've been married for 13 years. She owned this home before we met but we've got a lot of great shared memories here. I think she is going to love it!

Loved Petby Christina Brack (Eugene, OR, US)

I had a drawing of my boyfriend's beloved pet that we recently lost done and it turned out so beautiful. What a talented artist who was able to capture Waffle's personality and likeness so well.

Ordered as a giftby Rebecca Pourroy (Kankakee, IL, US)

I ordered this as a Christmas gift for my daughter and her fiancé. I won't know what their reaction is until Christmas, but I found the ordering process to be pain free. I was offered a preview of the drawing and able to make suggestions of changes I thought it needed. Once those changes were made, I was able to preview the drawing again and I realized that the first rendering was the better one. Once again the change was made. I recommend my DaVinci to anyone looking for a unique gift or keepsake.

Grandparents and grandbabies by marlina wyatt (Statesville, NC, US)

This is my second purchase from MyDavinci. I can't wait to give these to my daughter and son. They lost their dad and stepmom in 2016 , who never got to see my daughter and son's babies. I know they will cherish them.

Just Beautifulby Molly Flanagan (Petaluma, CA, US)

I ordered this watercolor of my parents’ beloved home for them after they down sized. They built this home from scratch and I thought they’d like a reminder of the legacy they’ve left. I was right. They were delighted with the Christmas gift. The details the artist included were perfect and I’m so grateful. Production and shipping were timely.

My Little Boy Bradyby Steve Riggs (West Warwick, RI, US)

I can't thank you enough for the gift you gave me of Brady's portrait. It's perfect and looks just like him. It's been three months since he passed away at almost 16 years old. I had the painting for a week before I could open it because the loss is still so raw. When I did I was thrilled, and still sad, at the same time. Thank you My Davinci for creating a treasure I will cherish forever.

Outstanding and Uniqueby Eric Van Horn (Rio Rancho, NM, US)

This is the second time I have commissioned a piece of art but the first time from myDaVinci. First of all, giving a gift of original art is something really memorable and special. I commissioned a portrait of me and my daughter from a photo taken last Memorial Day, and I will give it to her as a gift for Christmas. One thing I like about commissioning art from a photo is that the artist can do all sorts of things that just can't be done in Photoshop. (Plus it is original art!) I wanted my t-shirt changed, and the original photo had way too much contrast. The artist did a wonderful job. I also requested - somewhat late in the process - to add in background details. Even though there was not much room, the artists did a wonderful job adding them in. It is also nice that you can get prints from the original. I bought one for myself. I have two modest criticisms. One is that it would have been nice to be able to preview how the original photo was to be cropped before they started the work. Second is that the range of papers, mats, and frames is limited. I have ordered prints from fine art printers, and they offer many different kinds of paper, mats, glass, and frames.

Matthewby Deana Darnstaedt (Valparaiso, IN, US)

This is a masterpiece! I absolutely love it! I can't believe how well it turned out. You can't even tell he was sleeping in his car seat. He looks peaceful and perfect. I was worried about the turn around time, but I received the final picture weeks before planned. Thank you so much, I'm sure my fiance' will love it for his birthday! I know I do! I definately will be using your site again soon!

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!!!

I love this so much, this is my 2nd purchase!by Shannon OConnor (Tempe, AZ, US)

A few years ago I ordered a custom Victorian portrait of my, my fiancé, and our late dog. My fiancé loved this gift so much and all of our guests comment on how cool and unique this artwork is in our home. We have a new puppy now so I needed an updated portrait of our little family. I am thrilled to be a returning customer to MyDavinci, and was pleased to find out we could add our dog into this portrait, although the original did not have a dog in the picture. It was an extra $10 which I happily paid. I imagine this is not the last time I will be ordering a portrait from those at MyDavinci!

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.

Me and my boyfriendby Cathryn Samson (Huntley, IL, US)

I was so pleased with my pencil sketch. The sketch was better than the photo. The artist sketched the missing part of the female face and it was accurate and done perfectly. You would not know that 1/4 of the photo was missing. I received my sketch rather quickly and I would highly recommend DaVinci Photo Art to anyone.

My bosses dogby Blanca Scott (Houston, TX, US)

I got this for my boss and his wife, they loved it. Thank you so much you guys never disappoint.

Husband's Christmas Presentby Dana Guidry (Raceland, LA, US)

My DaVinci captured my sweet little baby perfectly. She is no longer with us and I had this painted for my husband for Christmas! Thank you MY DaVinci for helping us keep her close to our hearts in our home!

Dad's champions!by Julie Belcher (Russellville, KY, US)

The first couple of drawings needed some changes but finally it came out perfect. This was taken at the funeral home when my father died, this is why he is drawn lighter than everyone else. The photo we used had everyone in black. So I asked them to change the color of the women's dresses. They also changed the color of everyones eyes because it was difficult to see in the photo. Everything turned out perfect. It was amazing. I will always recommend their service.

Family Homeby Katherine Thomas (Solon, OH, US)

We’ve lived in our home for 26 years and are preparing to move on. It’s the only house our children have really ever known, so we wanted to memorialize it and bring it into our new place. I took some photos while all the greenery is blooming and the sun is shining. My DaVinci did a beautiful job bringing it to life. The process of reviewing and approving the proof was easy. I’m very pleased with the final product and can’t wait to hang it up!

My first fur-grand-baby!by Dawn Kahler (Nottingham, MD, US)

I'm so excited to give this portrait to my daughter for Christmas! She is a senior in college and this is her first pet, so my first fur-grand-baby. We adore our Ingrid and this portrait captures her perfectly! Thank you so much and Merry Christmas!

couldn't be happierby nancylee prohaska (Exeter, RI, US)

EXCELLENT work! Absolutely beautifuul workmanship, high quality and just couldn't be happier. After the sample review, I asked if they could bring out her bright blue eyes and they did without hesitation and got the final review back almost immediately and the eyes were just like the picture. Would highly recommend to anyone, in fact I have had others done before this and was just as happy and have referred several people and they loved there's also. Thank you for making our fur babies come alive in your renditions!

Wonderful!by Shelly Luchini (Du Bois, PA, US)

This is a gift for dear friends. I had no idea how beautifully this would turn out. The quality was wonderful and I was even surprised to see that the photos were touched up a bit. Loved it. Might even get one for my husband and me. Thank you for a job well-done!

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

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!

Granddaughter by Brenda Miller (Bethlehem , PA, US)

I wasn’t completely happy with the first draft but they made the adjustment I asked for and was completely satisfied with the final product. My granddaughter passed away in June and now we can preserve this special picture of her forever and always remember her every time we see it

My daughter’s horseby Michelle Sutton (Meadville, PA, US)

I decided for Christmas I would get my daughter a pencil drawing of her horse. The picture turned out perfect and she loved it. I also purchased one for my husband, he was also pleased with the quality. I will be purchasing three more of our other horses in the near future.

House Portrait by Heather Taylor-Wagnon (Bastrop, TX, US)

The artist captured the beauty of the house and it was done with a picture that wasn’t that great. The fact that they were able to pull out the proper details. I know my Aunt will cherish this as she moves on to the next chapter in her life. I will definitely use my davinci again and likely soon!

Noraby Karen Grabherr (Bristol, CT, US)

We absolutely loved the drawing of Nora, a 10yo Great Dane who passed away on her Birthday. We gave the sketch as a gift to the family and they adore it. My Davinci were so easy to work with and accommodating. I loved the way they give you a preview of the sketch so you have the opportunity to change or add anything you want to the picture. Will definitely tell my friends about this! Just like a friend showed me!

The Bethpage Homeby KATHERINE Ciavarella (Massapequa Park, NY, US)

I am so excited to give this as a gift to my clients when they close on their home. My client grew up in this home and I know it will be something to treasure as they move to the next chapter in life. I sent a photo and in no time at all I received a preview of this beautiful replica. As soon as I approved it, it was sent to me. The packaging used kept the artwork and frame from being damaged. I will continue to use myDaVinci.com for gifts to my real estate clients. Kathy Ciavarella
