Photo oil paintings

When was the last time you told your children about their grandparents who came as immigrants from Europe after World War II to America? Do your children know their family’s roots? In this busy day and age of TV, electronic games and fast food, often we forget to tell our children about their ancestors, and it is important for every child to know about his or her family background and history.

A good starting point for getting your children interested in the family history is to dig out those old photographs from the back of the closet and get them identified. Pick one of a grandparent or both grandparents together and send it to Paint Your Life, a great online art gallery website that specializes in creating hand-painted photo oil paintings.

If you have a scanner you don’t have to mail them; just scan in the photo and upload it to the Paint Your Life site and follow the easy directions for choosing a canvas size and art medium. In this instance, for your ancestor’s portrait, an oil painting would be very appropriate.

PYL editors will optimize your photo at no extra charge. This is an important step, especially for old print photographs which may be faded or creased. Once the image is just right an experienced artist takes over, and they guarantee you’ll love the results.

Photo oil paintings of ancestors, nicely framed and hung in your home, lend a feeling of solidity and continuity. It’s an excellent way to keep the memories and family traditions fresh in your mind and your heart.
