A home filled with memories

The house is feeling too big for us empty nesters. While constantly considering our options, we reminisce about what this house has meant to us, our kids and various relatives and friends who lived with us over the years. I don't recall how I heard about "my DaVinci" but decided a perfect gift for my spouse was a colored sketch of our house. .. so if we finally move, we will have a beautiful picture to constantly remind us of the happy, sad and uneventful days we spent there. . myDaVinci was easy to work with, was a great communicator and allowed us to suggest changes (for no extra cost). I highly recommend the company.

Our house will turn 100 years old when we've lived in it 10 years, and I wanted to commemorate it with artwork. I sent 3 photos from a few angles and it turned out great! I approved the proof, but my kids noticed after we received it that the porch swing, chairs, wind chime, and wreath were missing. I assume that was intentional by the artist and I didn't notice when I approved it. We love it though! I particularly enjoyed the short video of the artistry process.

My portrait is beautiful! It is exactly what I hoped for! It was done in a timely fashion and delivered carefully to my home. This is the second time I used mydavinci.com. My first time was a hand drawn colored pencil of my daughter’s dog. Beautiful, also! I am very pleased with mydavinci. I will definitely be using their services again!!

We submitted a picture of my in-laws home, and the painting was beautiful! We gave it to them as a Christmas gift, and the entire family was impressed by the artwork. We would definitely order again.

We are moving to a senior living facility in the next couple of years. We've lived in this house nearly 40 years. I gave this drawing to my wife as a present to hang in our new home to remember the good times we had here.

Beautiful depiction of parents' home

This colored pencil work was purchased by me and my siblings as a gift for our parents and they absolutely loved it. As soon as my mom saw it she said with excitement, "It's our house." She immediately took down another picture they had hanging in their home and replaced it with this. I highly recommend the artwork as well as the matting and framing. It's worth it!

MyDavinci has once again made my Christmas so special! Everyone (especially my husband who is Gramps) were thrilled and it totally was the best Christmas gift received by anyone.

This is my third Christmas in gfting MyDavinci originals. The artists are so very talented and present masterpieces that are so realistic! I have requested artwork in several different mediums and they are all outstanding!

I have shown these wonderful artworks to many who have automatically stated that they will be contacting MyDavinci for their own memories.

I praise all departments for their role in ensuring the artwork is completed and received timely. The Customer Service department went above and beyond in providing timely details of the status of the artwork.

I can only say that anyone wishing to gift a unique remembrance of special people in our lives should contact MyDavinci and let them create your own special memories.

Portrait of my daughter

My daughter and I will read the same books occasionally, it creates conversation, this portrait was inspired after reading this book. “Theo of Golden” by Allen Levi. I would say it’s a must read by your artist, then you’ll understand, it is highly recommended by book enthusiasts! Your portrait was terrific, as of today I have not bestowed the portrait to my daughter because she hasn’t finished the book yet but I am very excited to give it to her. I was so impressed with artist that I have since ordered two more portraits for two more of my children. I am very happy that I found mydavinci.com!

I needed something for my parents who have everything. This was a cool way to celebrate their cabin in the woods. The process was quick and easy. We were even able to make a quick change to the drawing before it was finalized. A great gift idea!

We're so happy with the results! The artist did a wonderful job capturing our home and creating the keepsake we wanted following our move after 35 years. The pricing and timing are very reasonaable and, above all, the finished product is beautiful! Thank you!

I placed an order on December 7th for a hand-drawn colored pencil portrait and paid $44 for "Rush Service" in the hopes that the portrait would arrive in time for Christmas. Unfortunately, the portrait arrived on December 30th. Despite the late arrival, the portrait was beautiful and was a wonderful Christmas gift!

Beautiful Artwork Makes Great Gift!

I wanted to surprise my husband with a hand-drawn picture of our first house together for Christmas, and I’m so glad I ordered through myDaVinci! The proof was emailed quickly and the small changes I requested were made asap. The final print arrived quickly and I was so happy with the product, I purchased another piece as a gift to my parents. The artwork is so high quality - it really is amazing!

Beautifully detailed
Reviewed on: December 25, 2025
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.
