The Perfect Gift if you're looking for a one-of-a-kind a gift for someone who has everything....or if you're looking for a certified heart-felt tear jerker for your loved ones, commissioning a painting is a great way to go.

Here are some ideas and examples that I and the clients who have requested paintings in the past have come up with:

#1 -Babies & Children They grow up so fast! Gift a painting of the little people in their life that keep them going! The painting below is of siblings. On the left and right are photo transfers of their parents, grandparents and symbols of their heritage. Their mother is Irish and the father is from Zimbabwe.
