Andy Warhol type picture of my dogby Rachel Ashby (Brookline, MA, US)

Awesome!!! Exactly what I was looking for. They also did some modifications I asked for and I love the finished product!

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 !!

Perfect giftby Jacquelynn Bourdeau (Presque Isle, MI, US)

We received the American Gothic with our faces for our 50th anniversary and love it so we knew it would be the perfect gift for my husband’s sister and brother-in-law for their 50th anniversary. We were right-they LOVE it. It’s excellent quality and you will be very happy with your purchase. It was made quickly and shipped in very sturdy packaging.

Great artworkby Magen Vanlanduyt (McHenry, IL, US)

Order went smoothly aside from me having a hard time finding a photo that was big enough to be able to get all the details. Obviously is not the artist fault but mine. They did a great job

Joyful memory by SUZANNE LANGLOIS (St. Louis, MO, US)

The artist captured our beloved dog’s playfulness and loving spirit so beautifully. MyDavinci staff always responded to my email questions and comments very quickly, with great attention to detail. I surprised my family with this painting, hanging on the wall before they came home for the holidays. Everyone has been overjoyed with it!

If I could, I would Give it 10 stars!!!!by Kim Perez (Basye, VA, US)

I am over-the-moon about the wonderful artwork from myDaVinci. They were incredibly easy to work with and quick with replies to my questions. I got my proof much faster than I anticipated and the final piece was finished and shipped also quicker that I thought it would take. I plan to use them again to have one done for a friend who recently lost her fur baby. Thank you myDaVinci for offering such a wonderful product!!

GORGEOUS by betsy graham (norton, MA, US)

IT WAS A BIRTHDAY GIFT FOR MY SON. HE WAS ABSOLUTELY THRILLED, HE COULDN'T GET OVER HOW IT WAS EXACTLY LIKE THE PHOTO I HAD SENT, RIGHT DOWN TO THE FRECKLE ON HIS DAUGHTER'S CHEEK. YOUR WORK IS AMAZING !!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND ANYONE TO USE YOUR COMPANY IF THEY WANT A PERSONAL AND SENTIMENTAL GIFT FOR THAT SPECIAL SOMEONE IN THEIR LIVES. SINCERELY BETSY GRAHAM

Bella by Christina Ellenburg (Jacksonville, FL, US)

The art provided was fabulous. My sister will treasure the rendering of her dog Bella and she already has handing in her office where she will see Bella's drawing every day. The one detail I would have changed is providing some 'white space' around the image This was of no fault to myDaVinci or the artist, but instead me understanding the process. There are many sites that provide this service, but I am sure I selected the best. Thank you!

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.

Perfectionby Janet D (Omaha, NE, US)

I have never been more pleased with something as I was having this sketching done. It was packaged beautifully to where I had no worries of breakage since I had mine framed. The picture was perfect from the time I was able to review it to receiving the finished and framed product. I will definitely be using MyDavinci again.

Saved Our Wedding Photos!!by Meghan (GA)

Unfortunately, the memory card with our wedding photos was lost before we ever received any pictures of us together. All that we had were a few iphone photos that a friend took. We were grateful for those, but the quality wasn’t good enough to print past a 4x6. Then I heard of myDaVinci...we sent in the best iphone picture we could find and the artist created the most beautiful portrait from our wedding. Now we have a large representation, and it’s one of the only ones from our wedding day. I’m so grateful for this company! The painting is so incredibly detailed, down to the exact lace detail of my dress. No one would ever know that it was painted off a small phone photo that was our last hope. We’ve already ordered others as gifts. You may think it’s a big investment, but the value is incredible. I am amazed at their work! Thank you!!

The Golferby Virginia Bowman (Davidson, NC, US)

Fabulous job! Looks just like him and love the fact they could custom paint the golf setting. Very fast service. I was a little nervous when I didn't select to preview but it really wasn't necessary. I submitted two photos and a good explanation and it was perfect. Will definitely use again.

FANTASTIC by Robert Murdy (Barnesville, GA, US)

I knew when I got this headshot I wanted to do something special. And when I found the website on line it was my dream come true to have a Warhol like portrait. And they out did themselves. It's absolutely perfect. Thank you so much.

Walterby Marsha Morgan (Phoenix, AZ, US)

This is our third pup portrait we've ordered at mydavinci.com and have not once been disappointed. Walter is my son's dog and is the leader of our family's pack. He is the smartest dog ever and so sweet with his family . . just doesn't care for strangers!! This portrait was a gift for my son and he hasn't seen it yet, but I know he will love it. I'm over 70 and sometimes have difficulty getting thru the ordering process on websites . . but I managed this order without difficulty. Will order again . . we have 3 pups to go!

Great solution for enlarging a low res photoby Karen S. (Bedford, TX, US)

We wanted to have a large portrait of my father for his memorial service, but most of the photographs we had were low resolution and couldn't be enlarged to the size we wanted without significant pixelation. This digital painting was a good balance between cost and turn around time. It was a very fast process and I was sent a proof to approve within a day or 2. It was well protected during shipment. The only thing I would do differently in the future is find a frame first and purchase the size to match the frame. Due to the size I ordered, off the shelf frame selection was limited. This was a great service and the smoothness of the transaction was greatly appreciated during a very stressful time.

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.

Love It...Love It.....Love It !!!!by Kara Saunders (Reedsport, OR, US)

Thank you so much......it is fabulous!!!

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.

The Pups 🐶 by Kristin Antoine (Osterville , MA, US)

100% thumbs up from start to finish. Great customer service w/ a friendly & personal touch:) Thanx so much to Davinci & to the talented artist for this (Extra) special pencil portrait. We are ALL impressed w/the artists detail & likeness of our pups🐶🦊Highly recommended!

50th Anniversary Giftby Sally Bentley (Vermontville, MI, US)

What do you give to a couple who has been married for 50 years? In my search for something unique and fun, mydavinci had the perfect solution! I was a little apprehensive about the quality until opening the well packaged piece of ART! Top quality printing and canvas wrap. I’m so excited now to give this incredible gift to my cousin and her husband of almost 50 years! ❤️

Great Artworkby Diane Patchoros (Murrells Inlet, SC, US)

This was a gift. The recipients of this artwork absolutely loved it. The black frame complemented the decor in their house. They are very happy with it and so am I. There should be improvement to the website. It was not very clear on how to choose a style. It should have samples of various fonts and sayings so that it would be easier to choose. Thank you very much for a beautiful piece of art.

The perfect baptism giftby Elizabeth Stock (Hanover, PA, US)

Wanted to get a gift that they could keep. I had used myDaVinci before and always loved the results. So I knew this would be the perfect gift. It was more than perfect. If you are looking for a very special gift, you will not be disappointed. Your gift will be a gift that lasts for years..

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.

Beautifulby Cara (Chittenango, NY, US)

I could not have asked for a better portrait. It was exactly how I envisioned it. The artist sent a sample of what they would do prior to the final product so you know exactly what you will get. We had just lost our dog of 13 years and I could not be happier with this.

Incredible!by Dawn Hanson (Greenfield, IN, US)

This captures Randy perfectly. I can just feel his personality in this drawing. The ordering and approval process was simple to understand. I only wish I had received information about the artist. Did someone really draw this by hand? If so, I'd love to know a little about them!

Twins1by Maria Michelon (Chicago, IL, US)

Absolutely stunning. Much more beautiful than I expected. The colors are so vibrant. Will definitely order more of the 4-panel art for all of the new babies in our family.

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.

One of a kind giftby Joe Steel (NJ, US)

extremely impressed with the whole experience. We wanted a different gift for my brother's 50th birthday so I found an old photo of him working on one of his first cars. Da Vinci turned it into a unique personal gift. Thank you so much

Another Beautiful Piece of Artby Bob Carmichael (Fitchburg, WI, US)

This is the fourth one we’ve had done for our kids’ puppies and they are all absolutely beautiful! They have them hanging in their homes with pride and love. mydavinci does such perfect and fantastic work. Thank you!

Colorful Imageryby Donna Candelori (Angels Camp, CA, US)

The artist made the picture come alive! I love the colors and textures that were chosen based on what the artist saw from the photograph I submitted. I only had to provide a few lines about who the person was in the image and any favorite colors, and magic was cast to produce a picture I'm thrilled to have on my wall.
