Painted for Paul  Santa Monica, CA

"Unfortunately, we had to say goodbye to our dog, Beau, in February of 2019. His bond with his "mama" was especially strong and they absolutely delighted in each other`s company. I was hesitant to post this video of Liz opening the painting yesterday (Christmas morning) - because even though it was a happy occasion, it was also a very emotional one for Liz. Even so, she wanted this to be shared, as she so appreciates the job that Yolanda did in capturing her boy. What a wonderful job you did, Yolanda. From all of us here, a big thank you to everyone there at Paint Your Life for a job well done. "

Painted for Christopher  Louisville, KY

"My grandmother suddenly passed away just before Christmas. She was the absolute light of all of our lives. To me, she was just like my mom and treated me as if I was one of her own kids. This video shows my mother, who is the daughter of my grandma who passed away, opening the special painting. I am so happy and so thrilled and pleased with what the artist did when it came to my grandmother's and grandfather's pictures. Not only did they include angel wings behind her but due to COPD, my grandmother had to wear oxygen. The artist took the time out to take the oxygen off of her and was not included in the painting. This painting was absolutely stunning, beautiful, and I cried when I opened it for the first time. It was an emotional Christmas for all of us because it was the first one spent without my grandmother Linda. We miss her so much, and I am so absolutely thankful for the artist's attention to detail in this painting. Thank you so much"

Painted for Kayla  MANASSAS PARK, VA

"I bought this painting for my husband Kameron. He was very close to his Nan and Pop but unfortunately, they passed away before they could meet our babies. I reached out to Melissa from Paint Your Life and she did a stunning job creating a photo that we will never be able to take. It is so realistic and truly shows his Nan and Pop perfectly. I have the painting for him for Christmas 2020, which was our daughter's first Christmas. It was better than I could have imagined."

Painted for Naomi  Weslaco, TX

"We lost our precious Grandma Silva before she could meet baby Elliana. Grandma Silva loved my boys and she knew one day our prophetic word of having a baby girl would come to pass. This Christmas, after such a difficult year where we have seen loved ones lost because of COVID, we wanted this Christmas to be remembered for something positive. This was the perfect opportunity to give my mother-in-law a beautiful Christmas that would be her most memorable yet. In the painting is her mother, Cruz holding our three children, Jeremiah, Jacob, and Elliana. Having never met Elliana but being able to see her being held by her great grandmother Cruz was something we had all dreamt and talked about. We had talked about how much she would love baby Ellie and how over the moon she would be to have one more great-granddaughter. Paint my life has made this dream a reality for our family and we are forever grateful."

Painted for Michael  ST CLOUD, FL

"My wife Safinaz lost her father many years ago. One of the greatest sources of sadness for her was that her loving father never got to meet his grandkids, our two daughter`s Cyra and Mikayla. She always says that he is watching over them in our home and is sad that there are no pictures of him with the kids like there are of all the other grandparents. Couple this with the fact that my wife has everything like jewelry and clothing and shoes, etc. When I saw the advertisement for PaintYourLife on Facebook, it jumped out at me as the perfect gift. A small sidebar, there are very few good pictures of both our girls together, because my oldest is disabled and moves around uncontrollably, but there are many great pictures of each of them individually that were caught at just the right moment. The design team at PaintYourLife was able to piece together images from 6 separate photos, one of each daughter, one of my wife, one of her dad, and one of a special chair that we own in our home (having this chair from inside our house as part of the setting in the painting just made it so much more real) and they even were able to use a smile from an additional photo to put the perfect smile on my youngest daughter`s face. It was a longer process than I expected but it was worth the wait. The photo was created and the painting came out perfect. We opted for the video of the painting being created, and with my wife being an artist and graphic designer herself, it made it all the more special to see someone so talented create the work of art that she was holding in her hands. I was excited to present this, of kind gift, to my wife, and it wound up being the perfect Christmas present to her. When the tears dried up, it was clear she loved it and now her father has a permanent place in our home, and not just in spirit. "
