I’m always looking for the next great thing when it comes to unique gift ideas. When it comes to my family, I’ve bought jewelry, books, trips, meals out, collectables, and just about any other typical gift you can think of.
Since my mom’s mother just passed away last week, I wanted to get her something poignant and appropriate. So, I found this lovely old picture of my grandmother from when she was in her 40s. I scanned it and I’m looking to have it turned into an oil painting. I have it in mind for the artist to add color when rendering it. I can’t think of anything more personal and beautiful than giving my mother an oil painting of her own mother.
I’ve been looking at myDaVinci.com, Turn your photos into Art is their phrase of choice over there. You can quite literally have any photo turned into an oil painting, watercolor, pencil sketch or one of several other styles. The company pairs you up with an artist. This isn’t one of those websites that just runs your scan through some texturing software and prints onto a canvas. This is an actual artist’s interpretation of your photo.
