Portrait Painting Blog

In my last post, I showed you a painting I thought turned out better than the original photo it was based on.  Well, this is an even more dramatic example of how we can sometimes work magic and produce a painting that looks much better than the original photo.

In this case, the original photo was extremely dark.  Our artists did have difficulty with the hair because those details are impossible to see in the original photo.  We worked closely with this woman’s husband (it was a surprise gift) to get the details exactly right.

If you are thinking about turning a poor photo into a painting, please be advised that these aren’t normal results.  In many cases, we are not able to work with poor, blurry photos because our artist needs to see as much detail as possible to produce a great painting.  If you have a blurry photo and you want to know if we can work with it, just email the photo to us and we’ll give you a free consultation.

Sometimes, an oil painting looks even better than the original photo.  I think this is one of those cases.  This is a recent painting done of two brothers.

As always, the first photo is the original and the second photo is the painting.

We are frequently asked if we do nude paintings.  The answer is “yes”.

We’ve completed several nude paintings, but for obvious reasons none of them are in our portfolio.  We recently completed a painting that is semi-nude and safe for work.  The first picture below is the original photo and the photo below that is a picture of the completed painting.

If you are interested in having a nude painting done, just contact us.

Whether you are in the Army, Navy, Air Force, or some other branch of the Armed Forces, we can turn your official military photo into a painting.

We recently turned the photo below into a painting.

Have a military portrait turned into an oil painting.  Commemorate the service of a veteran or active member of the military with a custom military portrait painting.

We have completed portrait paintings for nearly every division of the armed services - Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, and others.

A custom painting takes about a month to complete.  The photo below is just an example of the skill of our artists.

Our artists are skilled at creating amazing oil paintings, and this skill can be applied to more than just portraits.

Today, we will focus on creating custom restaurant art.  There are hundreds of things to worry about when opening up a new restaurant - decor is one of those things.

If you have a concept for a restaurant but need art to take it to the next level, we can help.  Our artist can take your concept and turn it into an oil painting.  The decor of a diner can make or break it.  We can create art that is small or is ten feet high and wide.  We can fill your blanks walls with art your customers will talk about.

Our custom oil painting service is very affordable.  Commissioning custom artwork does not have to be expensive; you don’t need to break the bank to make your new business look amazing.

If you are interested in our services, please contact us.

The customer provided us the picture below.  Unfortunately, the head of the gentleman was slightly cut off in the original.  The customer wanted us to complete the painting but didn’t want the head cut off.  We were able to complete the painting without a problem.

We turned a photo of a Chevy Chevelle SS into a beautiful painting.  We took out the cars behind the Chevelle so the painting focused solely on the red beauty.

Mother’s Day is more than a month away, but it’s never too early to start shopping for a gift.

A custom portrait painting makes a great Mother’s Day gift.  But, if you plan on giving this on Mother’s Day, you should place your order as soon as possible.

It takes almost a month to complete a painting, so now is the time to order.  If you order in the next few days, we can guarantee arrival before Mother’s Day.

We can turn almost any photo into a painting, but some photos make better Mother’s Day gifts.  Most mothers love pictures of their entire family; you could consider turning a family photo into a painting.  Or a picture of your mother and father together.  Even if you don’t have the entire family in one photo, we can combine photos to make one painting.

A custom portrait painting starts at only $179.

We just turned this beautiful beach wedding photo into a painting.  The customer was thrilled with the result.
