Are you married to the most spectacular woman in the world? Tell her on her next birthday, not only with words...but with a personalized gift. You can contract a portrait artist to turn a photo into a painting. The results will be stunning, and your wife will be thrilled at how much thought you put into giving her something special.

Giving the perfect gift

As we get older, birthdays seem to become less important. While we say that a birthday is no big deal, deep down inside we are longing to be recognized on our special day. Surprise your wife with a truly personalized gift that says, "I love you." Turn a photo into a painting of any moment in your wife's life that you want to capture.

Choosing the moment

When you want to turn a photo into a painting, you will want to go through photos to choose the best possible moment for the portrait artist to capture. While a portrait artist can turn any photo into a beautiful portrait, you may want to pick a photo that your wife will appreciate. Remember that the more detail the photo contains, the better the portrait will look. Choosing the right photo is just as important as giving the birthday gift to your wife.

Choices in mediums

Once you have chosen your photo and are ready to give it to a portrait artist, keep in mind that you have some choices of mediums that the artist can use. There are oil paintings and watercolor paintings. Both give remarkable lifelike effects, so it really is a personal preference as to which one you choose.
