Give a unique gift that will be cherished forever. Choose the number of subjects: one, two--or the entire family. The very talented portraitist Diane Morrow is the sole artist, who works in conté crayon, a technique first used in France in the 1700s. It's easy! Just send a photo 3" x 5" or larger to receive a 16" x 20" portrait sent to you ready to matte and frame, or we'll professionally matte and frame it for you.

Disappointed,
January 20, 2010
By:
LakeJohn
"The portrait of my two daughters was disappointing, especailly for the price paid. Perhaps this would be a better gift if the subject was an animal, but I did not think that the portrait looked much like the two girls in the picture that was sent."

"I have been thrilled with the portrait that we commissioned to have done of our beloved family pet, Cassie. She just passed away last week and having the portrait done in January was one of the best things I have done to celebrate and commerate her. The portrait captures her beautiful, loving, expressive features and we cherish it! I would highly recommend doing this wtih your most precious memories. Thank you!"

An Incredible Gift,
January 5, 2009
By:
MrSteelheadfrom Hopewell Junction, NY
"This is simply the best gift one can give to a family member for the holidays. I have given my wife two portraits over the past two years and she inevitably has tears of joy every time. The detail that Diane portrays is exceptional and truly captures the spirit of the subjects within the photo. I highly recommend this to guys out there who are looking for a creative and heart felt gift that will provide the family with years of enjoyment"

Christmas present,
December 25, 2008
By:
VThorsegirl
"Ten years ago, my dad had three pictures done of our family. Now, for this Christmas, I got a portrait of myself with my horse Rex. It was a great gift, and the portrait turned out really well. It was a perfect resemblance and in a very pretty frame as well."

Christmas Gift,
December 27, 2007
By:
Bricker
"When our golden retriever died suddenly, we were crushed, especially my husband who was very close to her. Two years later I had the portrait made as a Christmas gift for him. It turned out beautiful. We will definitely have our other five dogs drawn that we have had over the years and hang them in our bedroom. Diane is very talented."

Very Special Portrait,
October 26, 2007
By:
AJMAC
"When our first dog died in 2005, I happened to see the work of Diane Morrow advertised on the Orvis site; I sent two photos from Australia to Diane and she produced two excellent portraits, that give my wife and I much comfort. Now the younger dog has also passed on and I will contacting Diane again. Keep up the great work!"
