Mom's Birthday Gift Ideas

My father passed away 8 years ago. He only saw the birth of two of his grandchildren and now my mother has four. We asked Paint Your Life to include him in a rendering of a picture of my mother and her four grandchildren together. She was blown away by the result which we presented to her for her 80th birthday.

Painted for James  New York, NY

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!!

This painting is a gift for my mom’s birthday on 09/25 she lost her dad (my grandfather) in October 2020. He’s was gone way too soon, she was a daddy’s girl and it hurts to hear her say she misses her father, waiting to get that happy birthday call and it never came ???? ... I have been thinking about the perfect gift, how can I capture them both in a picture and I came across “paint your life” it end result came out beautiful..two separate pictures into one. She loved it !!!...
