Christmas Gifts by PaintYourLife Artists

My grandmother never got to meet my son. She died two years ago. My grandma and my son together in a customized painting that I gifted to my mom for Christmas was the best way for them to be together forever.

I bought this picture for my wife as a surprise for a Christmas gift. We have three kids and her dad never got to meet them because he passed away when she was only 10 years old. She loves the fact that she now has a picture with him and our kids together and we couldn’t be happier with the result!

Painted for Gina  Enterprise, AL

"My mother is one of eight children. Because most of their childhood was spent in an orphanage, it was difficult to capture a photo of all of the children with their parents, my grandmother, and grandfather. Unfortunately, both of my grandparents as well as my two uncles have passed away. A full family photo was never captured. Thanks to Paint Your Life, a portrait of all eight children with their parents was made possible. The sentimental value of this piece far outweighs the monetary value and that is demonstrated clearly through my mother`s emotions. The top row is all of the children. From left to right: Uncle Benny, Aunt Jane, Aunt Carole, Aunt Mary, my mother Margie, Aunt Gina, Aunt Jo, and Uncle Angelo. The bottom row is my grandparents: Angel and Louise. The Moreno`s. "

Painted for Mandi  Joplin, MO

"My older brother passed away in 2014 and it broke my entire family. When I had my son in 2020, I hurt almost just as much to know that my brother and my son would never meet and we’d never have any pictures of them together. When I found Paint Your Life and commissioned a picture of them together, I didn’t expect such a perfect picture to be made or that it would match the image in my head so well! When my mother opened her presents on Christmas and saw this picture, the feelings we all shared that day were so grateful and so heartwarming, I couldn’t have been happier. "
