Photo to oil canvas

Many American families, especially in the Deep South and the Midwest, have lived in the same place for several generations and can easily trace their ancestors back to the 1860s and the American Civil War.

Photography was in its infancy in the US at that time, but it was a very popular practice for young soldiers getting ready to march off to the battlefields to have their photographs taken in a photo studio if they lived or were being trained near a city, or by intenerate photographers who travelled on horseback with their large box cameras from army camp to army camp taking portrait photographs of soldiers in uniform.

Many of those photographs, sent in letters home to mothers, sweethearts or friends, were the only memory left of the soldier at the end of that terrible war.

If you have an old photo of someone in your family who served in the Civil War, you can have a photo to oil canvas portrait made by the top online art gallery website, Paint Your Life. It`s a wonderful way to preserve a bit of family history and teach your children something about their heritage.

If you have a scanner, you can scan in the photo and upload it to the website and simply follow the very easy directions for choosing the canvas size and framing. Your satisfaction is guaranteed, and you`ll soon have a photo to oil canvas portrait of your soldier ancestor to hang on your wall with pride.
