Hand Painted Portraits From Photos For Bespoke Gift Giving

By Michelle Lewis


Gift giving is traditional and something we all do. Many occasions require is to purchase items for loved ones, including anniversaries, Thanksgiving, and birthdays. If you are moving to a new city, you may also like to give presents to those you are leaving behind. Or it might be that you have a really close friend that you want to give something special to. Everyone loves handmade presents more. One great idea for bespoke gifts is hand painted portraits from photos.

When you take the time to make something for someone it will be appreciate far more than if you went and bought it from a store. But, it is difficult to know what to make, and often you just will not be the creative type. Custom prints painted by hand on canvas are a way to give something personalized without having to get out a paintbrush yourself. Portraits have always been popular, and by taking a photo to a studio you do not have to worry about your friend or family member sitting for a painter.

There are so many different times each year that you could give a friend or family member a bespoke portrait. Lets start with babies. When a baby is born, hundreds of photos are taken. So, why not turn your favorite one into a canvas painting for your friend or family member. Having a custom pained print to hang from the wall is the perfect way to capture the miracle of birth.

From births to birthdays, to deaths, custom made canvases are a perfect way to capture memories that will stay with us forever. When a loved one passes it is a harrowing time for all concerned. At this time we often realize that the only photographic memories we have are either old photos or digital images. Having one of these transformed into a portrait is the perfect way to remember the loved one and give them pride of place on the wall.

As our children grow up, they leave home. A home can feel empty without the sound of laughter around. So, how about a hand made portrait to hang on the wall of your child, perhaps on their graduation day. Family canvases are and will always be a popular gift.

Just as kids fly the nest and move away, so do we sometimes. We may relocate for work or to follow a love interest, or to travel. When we relocate we leave some great friends behind. So, if you find yourself leaving your best companion behind, give them a portrait of the two of you together as a memory to cherish forever.

If you are not sure which photo to use, take a few along to your local art studio.Here they can help you decide, or alternatively they can take a new photo of you to use for the painting session.

We all love to take photos and keep them as memories. But where are your memories. Are they stored to the cloud, on your computer, or tucked away in a drawer. Your memories deserve to be on display. So, take your favorite images and have them custom designed into canvases by a local painter. Custom pictures are the perfect gift for any occasion and will take pride of place in any home.
