I was at the Irvine Spectrum during Christmas looking to find a gift for my wife. I knew I wanted to find her something special but had no idea what. Walking past shop after shop I came across a large, beautiful, very lifelike painting of a married couple. I instantly knew I was on to something. You see, my wife had been wanting a family portrait for some time now, and I felt, a custom painting would just blow her away. After speaking to the artist and her daughter, I knew I was in good hands and placed my order. It’s not, inexpensive. But for what you are getting(custom artwork), I believe it is worth every cent. It took about 4 – 5 days to complete and the artist adjusted the finish time to meet my Christmas needs. To my delight, she also coupled our family portrait with a frame she felt matched the best. I took the portrait home with a big bow and hung it on the wall and the rest is history. My wife absolutely loved and still loves it. The painting puts a smile on my face every time I see it. Mission accomplished.
