Hand Painted Portraits From Photos For The Perfect Bespoke Gift

By Michelle Lewis


There are many times each year when you need to buy gifts. Thanksgiving, Christmas time, birthdays, anniversaries, and many more. Sometimes you will need to give a gift as a leaving present as you are relocating. Other times you want to find something just that bit more special for a very close friend. Handmade gifts are perfect when you need to show you have put that extra effort in. Hand painted portraits from photos are a great example.

Hand made presents are fun and they are appreciated a lot more than items bought in a store. But if you are not creative or just do not have the time to make presents, let someone else do it for you. Custom painted portraits taken from photos are hugely popular and it is easy to understand why. It is not always possible to get a friend or family member to sit for a portrait. What is possible though is to take a photo to a portrait maker.

So, let us take a look at what occasions you might like to give a bespoke portrait as a present. Really, the list is endless. So, lets rewind to when we were born and take a look at baby portraits. Everyone has a favorite photograph of their child, and having it made into a custom made print to hang on the wall is an awesome idea.

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.

Choosing the photo for your portrait does not have to be difficult. If you are unsure of which to use, take along a selection to your local photo studio, or even have your image taken there and then.

Capturing memories on camera is something that we all do. But these images are often forgotten about in a drawer or stored to the cloud. So, bring your photographs alive today when you have them turned into portraits, painted by hand. With your photos displayed in pride of place on the wall, you will bring warmth to your home, or add a bespoke touch to the home of your chosen friend or family member.
