Bifthday Gift Ideas | Hand Painted Portraits - PaintYourLife

The gift was a birthday surprise for my best friend. The painting was of her and her late mother who unexpectedly passed away in December 2013. Her brother and my family members also contributed to paying for the oil painting. The portraiture artist did an excellent job of capturing the special love between my best friend and her mother. Thank you for the beautiful artwork, and I highly recommend Paint Your Life to anyone!

The reveal is a photo of my boyfriend and his father. He lost him at the age of 15, so they never had a photo together of him as an adult. PaintYourLife was able to blend two photos together and here was the end result. It was originally going to be gifted to him, in August for his birthday and then I thought maybe Father’s Day. But I ended up giving it to him on the day of our baby shower on 04/24/2021. He loved it! His reaction says it all.

We got this portrait for my mother. She has 5 grandkids between my sister and me, and for her 81st birthday, she asked for a picture of her with all of her grandkids. Her birthday was in August, and we tried so many times to get everyone together for a picture...it was hard with the pandemic and with everyone living their lives! In December, she moved into a new apartment, so I had the great idea to create a paint your life portrait, not with just her and the grandkids, but with my sister and me as well! We all gathered at her new apartment on Christmas eve and gave it to her. She loves it so much! This video shows her initial reaction, but she stared at it so long after we gave it to her. In true PaintYouLife fashion, she did cry, but it was after staring at it long after we gave it to her. She said, “This is the best gift you could’ve ever given me”. We are so pleased with the outcome and so grateful to have given my mother a gift she can treasure forever! Thank you, PaintYouLife!!
