Couple Portraits in Oil

"After 50 years, our original 8"x10" wedding photo was very faded and wrinkled. It had been to Navy duty stations in Florida, Alaska, and Japan and, then, spent many years in a frame in Illinois. It was in desperate need of restoration before we completely disappeared from the photo! We found Paint Your Life and decided that photo restoration was one thing but having our photo turned into an actual oil painting was really a step up for our 50th wedding anniversary. The process took a bit longer than we expected because we were very picky about the looks of the painting. Paint Your Life`s artist took our requested changes to heart each time we asked and the resulting painting I s simply amazing to both of us. Our little photo is now a 20" x 26" quality oil painting. Thank you Paint Your Life!"

"The painting is a picture of Ann and Frank Zindler, painted from a snapshot taken by our granddaughter Laura Zindler-Mollett. The photo was taken the day after Christmas, 2012. That was the last day Ann was in the hospital before coming home to Hospice. Ann died of cancer January 4, 2013. I am extremely grateful to Melissa for being able so realistically to show the love and hope in Ann’s eyes and face. Ann was herself a painter, and I’m sure she would have been deeply impressed by Melissa’s skill."
