Family Portrait Painting

After having gone out of style with the advent of photography, portraits done in oil and pastels are once more coming back in fashion. While it has been the tradition in many families even to this day to have their family portraits done on canvas, the practice has become obsolete among others. As many artists are accepting commissions for portraits again, families are enthusiastic to have their special photographs captured in an age old medium. You can now commission a family portrait from Paint My Photos. We can turn your favourite family photo into a full sized oil painting which you can treasure forever. It is not that costly either as we are artists based gallery, not middle man. Even Barack Obama had a portrait done of himself, so what is stopping you. Also having a portrait in oil has several highlights.

1. A very classy feel

Everyone is doing photographs and photo shoots of different kinds with their families. If you get a portrait of your family commissioned you will stand out from the crowd. A portrait is much more tasteful than costumed photo shoots any day. It also m=brings delight to the whole family to see the finished product, it just seems so much more permanent to have an oil painting of the family. You can take hundreds of pictures with the family but it will not be as classy as an oil painting. Paintings like always are a status symbol and that is something photographs can never come close to.

2. Eclectic taste

First people would do family portraits in photo studios where everyone would dress up and gather around the camera to get clicked. Then people who wanted to do something different started taking family portraits outdoors or in special locations like the beach or at a country house. Recently families plan shoots around a theme or they dress up in a particular manner so that they get more aesthetic family portraits which will look good on their walls. You would show a more eclectic taste if you decide to get a painting done. Our artists can turn your photograph into a painting and change colours and background if you want. You can even ask them to paint the family portrait in a different more art nouveau style.

3. Future generation

When your children grow up, they will like to take this beautiful piece of art to their own homes. With digital clouds and smart phones people do not print out photos anymore but no one can ignore a good oil painting, right? Art in the home is always superior to photographs. People buy art to decorate their homes and if you get a family portrait in oil, they can hang that up so that it goes with their eclectic interior décor.
