Filled With Joy Seeing My Artby Deborah (La Canada Flintridge, CA, US)

I thought my new grand baby's photo would look great as an Andy Warhol subject. Well, it surpassed my expectations. It is so amazing looking and such high quality. I was blown away.

Superb artwork and service. by Irving Apar (Floral Park, NY, US)

When we heard Oprah’s strong endorsement, we suspected we would get a good product. Well we were right. The artwork based on our niece and nephew’s new home was incredible. It captured a precious family moment and the whole family loves it. We were very fussy and asked for a few changes, which were done very well and without complaint. The service was as top notch as the product. We would do this again!

Vibrant by Jeannine Koval (CHATHAM, NJ, US)

Thank you. You've brought a summer memory to life. The definition is beautiful..

Grandchildrenby David McKissick (Manassas, VA, US)

I had this made for a lady I love from a photo of her grandchildren. Actually I used a couple of photos and I was almost a pest in asking for changes which were done. Everyone who has seen this painting marvels at it. It is a keepsake. Thank you.

Christmas Surpriseby Frances Conrad (Pequannock, NJ, US)

The family loved the Adam & Eve picture that I had made using my parents wedding photo. It was a surprise "bonus" Xmas gift. It looked great. This was ordered within 2 weeks of Christmas & they were extremely fast in getting the preview ready & we received it a few days after approval. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a fun & personal gift.

Annieby Kevin Tipton (Kennedale, TX, US)

This was a surprise gift to me from my wife of our furbaby Annie. Loved it!! One of the best thing she has given me in our 40 years of being together.

watercolor artby Robert Damico (STAFFORD, VA, US)

I sent a picture for DaVinci to create a watercolor print for me. It came out great. They asked for my approval before sending to me and even made a few adjustments based on my comments. I'm getting ready to order another watercolor from them. Recommend them strongly for anyone seeking an unusual gift.

It is perfect!by Nannette McDonald (Portage, WI, US)

The sketch of our family pet was more beautiful than I expected. The correspondence between the staff and me was very personal and my emails were answered quickly. I will call upon MyDavinci in the future if I want anything in the future.

Perfect One of a Kind Memory!by JeffP (NE)

This sketch drawing is exactly what I envisioned when I submitted the photo. Our Pekinese was with us for almost 16 years and wanted something to remember her by that was high quality, unique, and handmade. I put in a grey wood frame and can't wait to share with the family for Christmas. Thank you so much for your art talents and being a part in remembering our sweet Izzy.

Beautiful Done and likeness is great. by Marc Riei (Galena, OH, US)

Perfect for a Christmas gift. The artist did a great job. Better quality than other options I’ve seen. Timing was fairly quick for what it is and overall very pleased. My only small complaint was I did check for the artist to sign it and they must have forgotten. But that’s a minor detail. Thank you for making this easy and a beautiful gift.

Fabulous by Brenda Ball (Spring, TX, US)

MyDaVinci worked very well with me as the artist had to draw 20 people in the final picture. One person had to be added into the final picture. The individuals in the drawing look great. They also created a new background so it would look like the group is outside. I definitely would recommend MyDaVinci for any hand painted pictures.

Xmas presentby Turina Garner (Seattle, WA, US)

I loved the way it turned out. it was custom and i left it pretty open.. but the artist did a fantastic job and my parents loved it!! it got delivered just in time and was a breeze to communicate back and forth.. I'll keep it in mind in the future for gifts..

Fabulousby Stacie Christensen (BOISE, ID, US)

I bought this as a surprise for my husband, for our anniversary. The image exceeded my expectations. Our images are flawlessly incorporated into the painting, and the textured art paper showcases the image beautifully. I would definitely recommend their portraits. I know it will not be my last.

Amazing!!!by Colleen Vaccaro (North Wales, PA, US)

The artist did a perfect job and the end result was spectacular. On top of that, the whole project was a quick turnaround.

Weekend homeby Sharon Miller (Ponce Inlet, FL, US)

This is my second order from this company and, as always , they deliver exceptional work. The watercolor portrait of my family’s weekend home is beautiful and looks just like it. My DaVinci delivers quality work in a timely fashion.

The Boysby CharleneR Barthelemy (Katy, TX, US)

I ordered a pencil sketch of my daughter's dogs for her Mother's Day surprise. I sent a couple extra photos just so the artists could "get a feel" of the boys' personalities - ha, ha The artists suggested the pic below because it had the most detail. They are very good about communication...after several e-mails this was the final product. My daughter was overjoyed. She said it "captured" the boys' personalities from their expressions to their stances. It took on extra meaning because she is relocating so this not only is a reminder of good times shared where she lives but a great new house-warming gift for their new place. I had previously ordered a watercolor from DaVinci for a friend which was just beautiful. They don't just duplicate...they put a little bit of sentiment in everything they do...lots of coupons and very reasonable additions like matte and frame. My next order will be a color pencil sketch!!

Excellent Resultsby Brad Shelton (Mesquite, TX, US)

I chose to commission a piece for my wife's birthday, featuring our four departed dogs. Having only a few older photos, I offered them up for as much detail as possible. I was offered mock-ups for final approval, allowing me to make a minor change before finalizing the order, and I'm very pleased with the results. My wife loves the final product. She's amazed with the detail! I gladly recommend myDaVinci, and I would use them again.

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

Amazing Artworkby Maritza Menke (Valley Stream, NY, US)

I purchased the charcoal sketching as a gift for my sister and brother in laws 27th anniversary. I was stunned at the likeness it captured from the actual picture. They were perfect, as if they were actually sketched in person and not from a photo. The gift was a absolute success as it has been admired by all and posted on FB. I sincere thank you for a beautiful piece of work. Maritza

Baby Faceby Anna ()

I was very happy with the pencil portrait of my grandson. The whole process from beginning to end was flawless. Thank you mydavinci.com.

Watercolor Portrait of Houseby Linda Julian (Rehoboth, MA, US)

The artist that created my watercolor created an outstanding product! I greatly appreciated the opportunity to review the work . I asked for a few changes and they made them very quickly. I gave this as a gift and the recipient was stunned and amazed at the detail and accuracy. I loved seeing the recipient's facial expression of amazement when he saw this for the first time. This was truly a very special gift.

Father and Sonby Jill Kingslien (La Vernia, TX, US)

I got the first piece when my son was almost 1 for my husband's first Father's Day. I have gotten a father/son picture done about every 3 years. Our son is 15 now and this is the 5th one. It is a wonderful chronical of their relationship as he has grown up. Beautiful work as always. Excellent communication, rapid response and item well packaged and sent promptly.

Blown awayby Lauren Murphy (PHILADELPHIA, PA, US)

I cannot even begin to describe how pleased I am with our print! The website worked well, the artist creation and responses were very prompt, and the artist responded to the detail changes I requested perfectly. I was surprised at how well the finished product came out - the original photo was on my cell phone and a tad blurry. The artist just have firmed up the details and did some amazing work, so the final piece is perfect resolution even at a larger size. I am very satisfied with the framing (glass and white frame with mat) - it is professionally done. The package came very well padded and protected. My partner raves over it and was so happy with his gift. Thank you so much!

Pleasedby Elaine Reich (Winston-Salem, NC, US)

My drawing turned out great. It took about a month to get it to that point. My original pic had sunglasses on the guy so I sent them another pic with a different head and they replaced the one with sunglasses. After submitting about 10 modifications they got it right. It took me a week or two to figure out the chat feature is only available in the afternoon because I’m on the east coast. It was a very helpful tool in getting my modifications relayed to artist. If you don’t get your modifications done right you can change artists. I was pleased with the results.

Erik Estrada Cartoonby Harry Heidt (Lompoc, CA, US)

I contacted DaVinci in hopes of purchasing a reasonably priced piece of artwork for a fundraiser. I was very happy with the communication during the development process and the final product was GREAT! I would recommend DaVinci to anyone seeking this type of art. We love it and hope to use it on our car show tee shirt this year.

Such a beautiful pieceby Kristy Mills (Buxton, ME, US)

I had a caricature of my aunt and uncle done as a gift for my aunt after my uncle passed away. The artwork was amazing! The entire process from when I ordered to when I received my artwork was amazingly quick.....I would definitely use my Davinci again.

joyce grandchildby Joyce Salvador (SAN ANSELMo, CA, US)

This is my grandson. Everyone in the family loved it, my son has similar picture when he was that same age. Looks just like him.

Father's Day gift for the winby Erin Byrne (Arlington, VA, US)

My DaVinci soared above and beyond my expectations for this Father's day gift. They were able to work with me when my photo was too pixelated for an oil painting and helped me switch to a different style. The process was smooth and it is unreal how they were able to capture the photo so flawlessly. I am definitely the favorite kid this year.
