Personalized Gifts | Hand Painted Portraits

"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. "

"We lost my grandfather to COVID in July of 2020 and this was our first holiday season without him. They were married for 58 years and it has been tough for my grandmother more than anyone else. This was a special way for us to remember him."

"Our family’s youngest member gained his wings on May 15, 2020, at the age of 20. He was a special soul who always confronted what life offered with the biggest smile and an amazing faith backed by his guardian angel here on earth, our Mother. My little brother, Jose, is in heaven in our Lord’s loving arms without any limits or pain. We love him to the moon and back and this painting brings us a level of peace and a reminder that our Jose is smiling down on us from a better place. Now our guardian angel."
