"This is a picture of my oldest daughter who was killed in a car accident nine months ago today. It was March 10, 2017 that I lost her. This picture was taken on her 50th birthday. I am very pleased to have this picture as a memorable to her life. "

"This is a photo of myself and the portrait of my grandfather painted by an artist from "Paint Your Life". It was painted from a snapshot taken in 1972. The likeness and quality is exceptional! I have used similar online services but the quality was lacking. The ability to look at the work of your artist than choose the artist to paint your portrait is a wonderful feature. Probably the number one reason I chose "Paint Your Life". This is also the first time that I have had a portrait framed instead of shipped rolled in a tube. The affordable price and free shipping along with the great quality from your artist are great incentives to choose "Paint Your Life". Needless to say I`m very pleased with my portrait and I would definitely use your service again and recommend you to family and friends. ... "

"My husband gave me a painting of my father and I dancing at our wedding. My dad passed away last year and this picture captured his pride and happiness that day, while also capturing his spirit and my awe of him. I stare at this picture and just cry because it's like he can jump off the painting. That's how real it feels. I just wanted to thank whoever did this for giving me a gift that will Always keep on giving. Thank you for this Unbelievable gift. "

Our parents have passed away, by getting one portrait at a time and working with your wonderful artist Doris their presence is coming back to us. Her work is amazing and she has perfectly captured the spirit of our parents. We have had her paint three and will soon have her complete a fourth. Such amazing talent and such a special gift that we will treasure forever! My husband and I highly recommend Paint Your Life! We are fans for life!

My husbands grandmother passed away a few months after our oldest turned 1, the last pictures that we have of her are from his 1st Birthday, I wanted to do something different for my husband for Christmas this year and get him something that was personal, special, and would mean the world to him. He was very close to his grandmother and took her death pretty hard. So I sent in a picture of his grandmother holding our oldest on his 1st birthday and a picture of myself holding our youngest on his 1st birthday. I had them basically put the two pictures together, so that it looked like she was holding the both of them, the finished product was amazing. And to say he LOVED IT is an understatement, he cried like a baby! Mission Accomplished!!

Anna’s mother, Denise, passed away in a tragic accident in 2004. We were married on her birthday, July 7, in 2012. Our children Ezra (5), and Ella (3) were born in 2014 and 2016, respectively, and it’s always bothered Anna that her mother never got to meet her grandchildren (and vice versa). I worked with you guys to find three suitable photos for a “what might have been” collaboration and Johny NAILED IT. Thank you so much for this precious memory and memento she can treasure forever.

I purchased a painting that combined two separate photos of my grandparents on both my maternal and paternal side. When all my grandparents were alive, they never took a picture together that was just the four of them. I gave the painting to my parents for Christmas and their reactions were filled with so much joy and tears. My experience with Paint Your Life was great, and I`ll definitely be recommending this company to anyone who wants to capture a special moment in a painting.
