In the second photo, you will see a picture of the completed painting.  The painting looks just as good (if not better in my opinion) as the original.  The painting measures 20″ x 30″ and it is an oil on canvas.

The second photo is a picture of the completed painting.

The customer in this case wanted the painting done but with a few changes.

Here were the customer’s requests.

The first photo is how my in-laws should look in terms of where they stand and how their clothes look.  My mother facial expression should match exactly like the first photo except her mouth should be close like the second photo.  Also photo 2 is how I would like to have my father in-laws facial expression to look like.

The third photo was created by our Photoshop expert.  We sent the Photoshop mock-up to our customer and they liked it.  We started the painting, finished it, and the customer was ecstatic.

I just wanted to thank the company and especially the artist for doing such an amazing job on the picture of the dog.  It was for a friend of mine whose dog had its leg amputated because of cancer and then the dog passed away because of the cancer weeks later.  I gave her the painting yesterday and it brought tears of happiness to her face. She absolutely loved it and couldn’t believe how life-like it looked.  You guys really brought happiness back to her and your artist is extremely gifted.  I will absolutely use you guys in the future and recommend you to everyone.  Thanks again for the painting as she will cherish it forever!

The original photo wasn’t the best quality, but we were still able to work with it and create a memorable painting.
