Your Life in Canvas – Check out PaintYourLife

August 20, 2007 by Tricia

Have you ever thought how nice it would be to turn your favorite photo from your wedding into a canvas painting? Or perhaps you have a lovely photo of your parents together or your children that would make a beautiful portrait painting.

Well I’m pleased to tell you that PaintYourLife has made it possible to turn your photos into paintings.

PaintYourLife states that all their work is 100% handmade by portrait artists and as you can see from the photo that I’ve included above the paintings are of high quality.

I took a few moments to look through PaintYourLife’s gallery, looking at before and after comparisons of photos that had been sent in my clients and the paintings that the portrait artists had created and the work is just amazing.

It’s very easy to have a painting made of a favorite photo too. All you need to do is find a clear photo that you’d like to have made into a canvas. You can turn photos of people, pets, buildings or landscapes into paintings. It doesn’t have to be a high quality photo but if it’s a high quality photo all the better. You can send your photo to PaintYourLife via a digital upload or by postal mail.

Once you’ve picked out the photo that you want to have turned into a painting just visit the PaintYourLife site and fill out the request form. You can choose to have your painting done in oil, watercolor, charcoal, black or color pencil, pastel or acrylic. Then all you need to do is decide what size you want your painting and then tell the company whether you want the canvas sent to you unframed, Stretch canvas (Gallery wrap) or pick out a frame.

Doesn’t that sound easy?

Believe it or not once you send in your photo it can be made into a canvas in as little as 10 days! You’ll also get to preview your painting before it’s shipped to you.

I bet you think this service is expensive. It’s not really. You can get hand painted oil portraits or watercolor portraits for as little as $99. That’s quite affordable when you consider the high quality of the painting you’ll receive.

PaintYourLife portrait paintings would not only make a lovely addition to your home, but a beautiful gift for someone you love.

    Sounds like a great idea. I wonder if they ship to Norway too though.

    Hello!

    Stopping by for Click & Comment Monday.

    If I had an oil painting made of a photograph, it would have to be an old one… LOL! I had a hard enough time posting my face on the Freeze It opp for P.

    Have a great day.

    It might me interesting to have artistic painting instead of photo, especially if you choose oil paintings. Their service also is not expensive, but depending on quality that they will provide. Samples on their website look fine.

    This sounds like a great idea. I think you would have to select a photograph wisely though. Not all images would look great painted in oils.
