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.
When you take the time to make something for someone it will be appreciate far more than if you went and bought it from a store. But, it is difficult to know what to make, and often you just will not be the creative type. Custom prints painted by hand on canvas are a way to give something personalized without having to get out a paintbrush yourself. Portraits have always been popular, and by taking a photo to a studio you do not have to worry about your friend or family member sitting for a painter.
So, for what sort of occasions should you give a bespoke made portrait. Really, they are suitable for any occasion. Lets start at the start. Portraits of babies. Everyone has their favorite image of their baby as a new born. So how awesome would it be to have that image custom designed in paint and hung on the wall.
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.
Next, how about leaving home gifts. When a home no longer has children running around, it can look and feel empty. A perfect way to bring warmth back to the family home is to give a gift of a portrait of the children to hang in the lounge room or hall. Perhaps a graduation photo, or maybe a favorite portrait that was taken at a family event.
Or perhaps you are relocating and flying the nest for a different reason. When you move away leaving a place you have lived for a long time behind, you will leave loved ones behind. You will miss them and they will miss you. So, give them that extra special gift of a bespoke photo of the two of you together to remember you by.
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.
We all love to take photos and keep them as memories. But where are your memories. Are they stored to the cloud, on your computer, or tucked away in a drawer. Your memories deserve to be on display. So, take your favorite images and have them custom designed into canvases by a local painter. Custom pictures are the perfect gift for any occasion and will take pride of place in any home.
