Art is an important part of any home. Decorating your house the way you like is an integral part of making it yours, and the artwork you display on your wall plays a major role in making your house feel like home. However, you can’t decorate your house with just any artwork – you need something that looks great, is well-made, and has great significance for you and your family. 

Looking For A Truly Special Piece of Artwork? Look No Further

This is where Paint Your Life comes in to save the day. If you are in need of a piece of home decor that is meaningful, personal, and beautiful, Paint Your Life has you covered. 

How Paint Your Life Can Make Your Memories Last Forever

With a team of hundreds of exceptional artists who are masters of their craft, Paint Your Life aims to help you immortalize your memories in the form of beautiful artwork. This process begins with a photo of your choosing and ends with a masterpiece in one of six mediums that makes the perfect centerpiece for any wall in your home. 

The artists on Paint Your Life’s team expertly replicate the details and intricacies of your photo, capturing facial features, expressions, and other important nuances with incredible accuracy. 

It All Begins With a Photo

When you decide to commission artwork from Paint Your Life, you get to call the shots. Everything begins with you choosing a photo that you love to use as a reference point for your personalized piece of art. This reference photo can be a picture of your entire family, of you and your spouse, of your kids, your pet, even your house. 

There are a wide variety of options to choose from, and what you pick is entirely up to you. Choosing your reference photo is a blast – it gives you an excuse to break out old photo albums and reminisce. 

Choosing the Best Photo for Your Artwork

When you want to immortalize a precious memory in a beautiful piece of artwork, choosing which photo to use as a reference is a big decision. A good rule of thumb is to choose a picture that means a lot to you and to your loved ones, something you would want prominently displayed in your home. 

A piece of personalized artwork is a meaningful way to make a statement to everyone who enters your home about what you and your family care about. This makes artwork from Paint Your Life more than just pretty home decor – it has meaning and value, too. 

Parents & Children

A fantastic reference photo for your artwork is a picture of you with your parents or with your own children. These pictures show the significance of love shared between generations. Hanging a painting or drawing on your wall that shows parents and children happily spending time together is a perfect way to communicate to visitors in your home what you are all about.

Not everyone has the privilege of a close relationship with their parents or children. When you do, it’s something to never take for granted and to proudly display in your home. You will never regret telling the world how much you love your family!

Pets

Who doesn’t love a faithful dog or a sweet, cuddly cat? At Paint Your Life, we firmly believe that your pets are honored members of your family. Your pet’s likeness deserves a special place on the wall in your home in the form of a beautiful work of art. 

You can even get a photo of you, and your pet together turned into artwork, which makes for a sweet piece of meaningful home decor that is sure to make visitors smile. It’s never a mistake to show your pet some love and to let everyone know how much you love them by immortalizing their likeness in the form of great art!

Couples

Another great idea is to turn a photo of you and your partner into art. A drawing or painting of you and your partner is an unforgettable holiday, birthday, or anniversary gift, celebrating the love you share. 

Paint Your Life’s artists are masters at capturing the unique spirit of the love shared by a couple. In the impressive gallery of couples’ portraits that can be viewed on Paint Your Life’s website, you can see how special these pieces of art can be.

Houses

It’s always a wonderful feeling to take pride in where you live. Celebrating your home and everything it means to you and your family is always a great idea, and thanks to Paint Your Life, now you can do so with art! 

A photograph of your home can be turned into a beautiful painting or drawing that can showcase the beauty and significance of the place you live to anyone who visits. A piece of art that depicts your home lets visitors know that you care about having somewhere to put down your roots. Home truly is where the heart is, and you can make yours even more special by displaying a beautiful piece of artwork based on a photo of your home.

Individuals

If you want to commemorate one person using artwork, an artist at Paint Your Life can turn their likeness into a beautiful masterpiece. The individual portrait has a rich history, with artists immortalizing the likenesses of historical figures using portraits long before the invention of the camera. If there is someone you love and want to honor, especially a parent or grandparent, a portrait based on a photo of them is an incredibly meaningful way to do so. 

Many Mediums to Choose From

Artwork from Paint Your Life can be ordered in multiple mediums of both painted and drawn artwork. These include three types of paintings – oil, watercolor, and acrylic – and three types of drawings – colored pencil, black pencil, and charcoal. Whatever medium you choose, you can’t go wrong! Each of these forms of art looks beautiful on display in your home. 

If you need a helpful point of reference for what each type of artwork looks like, you can visit the medium-specific galleries on the Paint Your Life website. From here, you can see plenty of examples of artwork done in each of the available mediums with a variety of subject matter.

Giving the Gift of Meaningful Art

One of the best ways to make the most of artwork from Paint Your Life is to give it as a gift! Nothing says “I love you” like a meaningful, personal present, and there’s no better way to spread love and kindness than being generous. Whether it’s for the holidays, an anniversary, a birthday, or something else, a painting or drawing from Paint Your Life is a perfect gift.

When you need an especially meaningful gift for a very special person in your life, turning a precious memory into artwork is always a great option. Artwork from Paint Your Life makes a great gift for parents, grandparents, children, partners, and friends. You can never be too generous, and giving someone who is special to you a meaningful gift makes a big difference and is sure to make them feel loved and special.

Tips for Decorating

When you receive your Paint Your Life artwork, it’s a truly exciting moment. Now that you have a unique piece of art, it’s time to decide how to display it in your home. Pick a place in your house where your artwork can be prominently displayed. If you have a fireplace, for example, right above the mantle is a great option. Traditionally, artwork placed in this spot in the home is particularly significant and draws the attention of visitors.

Making the most of a piece of art from Paint Your Life also involves sharing the story behind the artwork with others. A personalized painting or drawing is a conversation starter like no other, and guests in your home are bound to be curious about where you got your beautiful artwork and what the story behind it is. This opens the door for sharing meaningful memories with visitors, spreading joy and positivity that will make your home a special place for anyone who enters. 

Ultimately, that’s what Paint Your Life is all about: helping you to spread love, kindness, and joy to others in the form of meaningful art.
