An Email We Received Yesterday…

We received this unsolicited feedback in our inbox yesterday.

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.

Executive Photo to a Portrait Painting

When we receive a high quality photo, it makes the artist job a lot easier. We received the photo below from a customer, and all we had to do is a little cropping. The result was a stunning 30″ x 36″ oil painting.

What’s really stunning about this painting is how the artist was able to replicate the details on the face. The details are nearly exact and the color is rich and natural.

Cat Painting in Delacroix Style

Our company has done all types of paintings. Some of these paintings are more unique than others. A couple weeks ago a person contacted us about doing a cat portrait, but it wasn’t your typical portrait.

This person really liked a painting done by Eugène Delacroix and wanted her cat painted in a similar fashion. The customer emailed us two photos, one of her cat and one of the painting she liked. I’ve attached the two pictures below, and below those pictures is a picture of the completed painting.

And here is the completed painting.

If you have a unique idea for a painting, don’t hesitate to contact us. Our artists are very versatile and can take an idea and turn it into a beautiful painting.

Working Magic

Here’s another example of our team working magic.

We received the two images below from a customer. Here was the customers exact request.

I have a request to combine two pictures into one portrait. The primary picture is of my two friends sitting in a military sidecar unit. The second picture is of their daughter who was not even born at the time the original picture was taken. Since my friends are sitting on the motorcycle seat, as if they were driving it, I think they would enjoy it if I incorporated their daughter into the portrait as if she were their passenger.

To facilitate requests like this, we have a photoshop person on staff to create mock-ups. The mock-up below was created and approved by the customer. Unfortunately, the photo of the girl wasn’t the highest quality, but our team was able to work with it.

The mock-up was presented to our artist, and our artist produced the beautiful 30″ x 36″ oil painting below.
