Painting of a picture

Do you have a family photo album containing old, and sometimes fading, photographs of parents, grandparents or even great grandparents? Do you wish sometimes that your own children had known some of those relatives you may still remember from your childhood?

You can bring back the past and give your children an appreciation of their family heritage by commissioning a painting of a picture of one of your ancestors.

Don’t worry if the photograph is a bit damaged or faded. Paint Your Life’s editors will work with you to optimize and compose an image that will be suitable for the painting style you choose for your portrait. We’ll also give you many art style options to choose from - oil, watercolor, acrylics, pastels, charcoal, pencil drawing – and lots of samples of our previous work so you’ll be sure to find the style to suit your special photograph.

You can scan the old family photo into your PC photo files and sent it to our Paint Your Life website, or you can mail the photo to us (don’t worry, we’ll return it to you safely).

Preservation by painting of a picture photographed long ago not only saves that image indefinitely but also gives you a renewed look at your family history.

Having a portrait of a great grandfather posing in his Civil War uniform, or a grand grandmother in a long gown and parasol will delight your children and encourage them to investigate the past and their family roots.
