So you want to display a favorite family portrait photograph in your dining room, but when you try to enlarge the digital image to the size you want, it becomes too pixilated and just doesn’t look right.
Las Meninas, 1656, painting by Diego Velázquez Or maybe you’ve always wanted an elegant painted portrait of your family but didn’t know how to go about finding an artist talented enough – or how to afford the expensive sitting fee they’re going to charge you! Fortunately, a portrait painting from a photograph can help eliminate both of those problems. Our artists can enlarge your picture without any difficulty, and since they’re working from photographs, there are no complicated sitting fees.

With those two issues no longer a concern, you’ve got no limits on the image you choose. But this raises another question: what portrait picture is the best one for you to use? If you’d like a painting of your family, maybe you want a picture from when everybody was purposely looking their best – a family wedding or a graduation, perhaps. Then again, if you’re wanting a picture of your baby granddaughter, you might want a painting that shows her as she really is right now – grinning with her first birthday cake smeared on her face. If you’re giving your son and his fiancé an oil painting from a photograph as a bridal shower gift, do you use a picture that was taken by their engagement picture photographer, or do you use a snapshot of them laughing together that you took at Thanksgiving last year?
