The painting done for me is absolutely stunning and I love it so much! Everyone that I have shown it to thought it was a photograph and were completely amazed that it was an oil painting. A big thank you to Katie the artist and the website Paint your life.

This Company is totally reliable, and you do get exactly what you pay for. Their work is excellent and we are so very pleased with our painting - it was as good as we hoped it would be. We were glad that we chose a frame at the time as it meant we could hang our lovely painting as soon as it arrived. Our painting was well protected by the packaging and arrived quickly. No problem with this Company and we would use them again.

My sister's beautiful and wonderful dog died a couple of weeks before her birthday, I decided to get her an oil painting of the dog made as a gift. Customer service was extremely responsive and helpful each step of the way. Every contact with the company was a pleasure. And then they sent me a picture of the painting... It was absolutely stunning and better than I could have imagined it turning out. My sister absolutely loved the painting and we all cherish this beautiful tribute to our beloved dog. Thank you!

I was extremely happy with my painting of our dog, King. The artist made all of my requested edits. King crossed the rainbow bridge just a month ago. This painting will be the perfect gift for my husband's birthday in a few weeks. He is going to love it and we both will cherish being able to have King with us for the rest of our days.

For my birthday my husband gave me an oil painting of our Dalmatian Banjo, who we lost in November. It brought me to tears because it was so beautiful and lifelike. It was almost like I could reach out and pat his head. The painting captured my dog exactly as he was. I will treasure it forever. My husband said the company was a pleasure to work with and delivered everything that was promised. Both my sons now want paintings of their dogs!

Had a portrait of my children done for my wife's birthday. I sent PaintYourLife a black and white photo from Chuck E Cheese and the artist did a beautiful portrait using charcoal. It came out perfectly and my wife loves it. The entire process and support staff at PaintYourLife was incredible. So many of my friends and family are going to look into doing this for family members.

I thought about getting a painting for months. I read the reviews and decided to try it. I am thrilled I did. I am so happy with both of my paintings. Doris was my artist and she is amazing. The whole process went super smooth not one complaint from me. Very happy and impressed. I had a family picture painted for my grandson. My daughter and son in-law passed away not long after my grandson was born. The first painting was of my daughter, I loved it so much I had the second one done.They offer discounts and credits for posting reveal videos on Facebook and instagram. Huge savings! Our paintings are priceless to our family. All I can say is WOW!

My sister's dog past away and I wanted to help her through her grief. I found the perfect way, I painting from Paint Your Life. The artist wonderfully captured her dog's spirit and it brought her to tears. All from a photo that I provided. I highly recommend them. The painting is perfect, it was quickly completed with my input during the process and they shipped it to her address. I couldn't ask for anything more. I plan on using their service again.

My experience with Paint Your Life was exceptional from start to finish. I enjoyed looking over each artist's body of work and selecting the one for my painting. Then before I knew it I had a proof of the painting to review. The painting was delivered ahead of schedule and came packaged perfectly. The painting itself took my breath away! It was absolutely perfect in every way. The attention to detail of the faces, the outfits, the whole composition of the painting was flawless. I also recommend letting Paint Your Life frame your painting before sending it to you. It was so nice to be able to take it out of the box and hang it immediately on the wall. I look forward to enjoying my painting for years.
