The painting of my boys is magnificent. I am beyond thrilled! The whole experience from start to finish was top-notch. Vivian is so extremely talented. If I decide to get another painting-which I’m pretty sure I will-I definitely want Vivian to paint it. Extremely satisfied customer 👍 Sandra Lesko

The process of reviewing and approving the proposed work helped me get exactly what I wanted from a special photo. I could not be happier with the piece.

This painting I had done totally exceeded my expectations, it was amazing. It was a birthday present and she was totally blown away. I have ordered two more paintings I was so pleased with the finished product.

The artist worked with very old, individual, black and white photos of our parents. She expertly drafted a combined, colorized version of the photos. Our family is extraordinarily thrilled with the finalized painted portrait.

They did an Amazing job on a painting I had done for my brother and his beloved dog Gipper, who passed away. The attention to details was remarkable, down to a small space in my brother’s tooth! My brother was so overwhelmed with this beautiful painting, and now has his Gipper with him always! Thank you for such a remarkable and detailed job you did for me to honor my wonderful brother with! They are amazing, you will not regret having someone special put to canvass.

I sent a picture that was far from high quality. My artist asked for other pictures to get the details which I did. Although the picture was not exactly the way I took it, my artist actually made it better! I was blown away with the accuracy and detail! I even got one of the biggest paintings I could get. Highly recommend giving this a try!

Donna Smith Swanstrom

This company was so easy and fun to work with! They would send me the digital photo first for my approval before they started the actual painting. I was able to upload photos to their website so they nail the colors characteristics of the two dogs I wanted painted. I highly recommend them and if I ever want another picture painted I will be using Paint Your Life.

Ease of ordering, access to site, great communication. Difficulties uploading reveal video, which made me contact customer service, and several emails later they did the uploading. Never had problems before, so I believe there's an error on site. Beautiful painting, fast shipping, quality work. Totally recommend.

I have purchused 2 items now. One was a painting and the other a pencil drawing. I love both. The artists do a wonderful job and being givin a preview and the ability to ask for changes before the piece is finalized and ships puts your mind at ease.

I can not express my joy well enough at the work that they did for me. In real sense, they did paint my life!

Will work with these guys again

Had a photo of our dog (who has since passed) painted for my parents. They couldn't hold back the tears after seeing it. Also, I gave this company a different photo originally and decided (after they had already painted the first one) that I'd like to switch photos. No complaining from them, no extra charges, nothing. They just did it and did an amazing job. Great painting, great customer service, great delivery etc. Don't have a bad thing to say about the entire process with these people. Money well spent.

I am soooooo ecstatic about the painting. We sent in a picture of my wife and her Grandmother at our wedding. Unfortunately she passed. We had no pictures of her Grandmother up in our house. My wife cried and her family was sooo touched when they saw the painting. MY ONLY REGRET IS THAT I DIDN'T GET THE VIDEO! Had I know the picture was going to turn out so great and known the reaction of her family I would have definitely opted in for the video. My cousins are getting together to purchase a portrait for our grandmother now. Thank you Melissa! You did a Wonderful job!

Deborah Perez

I love the painting we received. We also purchased the video which was fascinating to watch. We had a painting of my mom standing in a chair when she was a toddler. It’s so precious and my mom loves it. The quality is excellent and the likeness is sheer perfection. It almost looks like a photo!

I ordered a portrait to be painted of me and my husband. The photo was taken for our 1 year wedding anniversary so it was symbolic. We’re very happy we went through paintyourlife, I was so happy with how much better it looked in person with the frame mounted and everything. I highly recommend paintyourlife.com .... we chose David as our artist as well, he did get such a great job:)

I was very happy with my PaintYourLife pet portrait. It was very true to life. I was initally not as happy with the color of my dog's fur but when I asked for an adjustment it was made to my satisfaction. The portrait was a gift for my husband who was really missing our dog since passing away and he really loves it. He keeps it in his work office so he can see it daily.
