“Thanks so much for our wonderful painting! I wanted to get a unique gift for my business partner who started the company almost 20 years ago. We had outgrown our original office building and just recently purchased a new, bigger office. To commemorate our original office on canvas, I submitted two photos and very detailed instructions as to how I wanted the painting to look. The detail and quality of the painting is exceptional and I will definitely use Paint Your Life again. The turnaround time was faster than I expected and our entire staff got together to present the painting to her in plenty of time before we moved into the new office. It was an emotional surprise and everyone was very pleased with how it turned out! Thanks again for a gift we will treasure forever!!”

Anniversary Gift Ideas

A happy way for any couple to commemorate the ever increasing joys of matrimony is by presenting each other with an original oil painting or watercolor portrait as an anniversary gift. So often as families grow many photographs are taken of the children or of each other separately but few of just the two of you. Send www.gfmpainting.co.uk a good digital photo as a couple (or two separately and we’ll blend them together) and we’ll create a beautiful anniversary gift portrait. As years go by, choose a pastel portrait one year and a pencil drawing the next and vary formal and informal settings, and soon you’ll have a collection of family heirlooms.

Thank you, The Tucker’s

“My mom was absolutely thrilled when she saw her painting. I ordered a 30×40 oil for her birthday of her and her horse, Sophie, who passed away in May of this year. Sophie was my mom’s pride and joy, so when she died, things weren’t really the same here. Now Sophie can be seen in all her glory on the mantle above the fireplace. I showed the picture to several friends who loved it and are planning to order portraits of their own horses. I also intend to have a painting done of my horse soon. I’ll send a picture of my mom and I with her painting as soon as my dad e-mails it to me. Thanks for helping me give my mom the best birthday present!”
