My Recent Collection of Digital Water Color Portraits

So much news this week here in California. The floods, power outage, uprooted trees, snow in the Sierras and 18 died related to the bad weather are national headlines on CNN. But today we are dry and sunny, but more rains expected this weekend. Lucky my neighborhood had only 2 days of  3 hours power outage and one uprooted tree and no flooding. To brighten my spirit, I compiled a collection of my recent purchased of digital water color portraits from several companies in Face Book. The two that I like are from mapleinspirations.com and from designmemories.com. The portraits are as follows:

The Original Photograph-taken by Carenna with her cell phone, Christmas Eve Diner en Blanc Party, 2022

There are several companies in FaceBook advertising the same service- copying digitally your photograph to look a painting. You could choose several styles of painting such as watercolor, oil, acrylic etc...I have also ordered a water color portrait from paintus.com. Giftsshack.com and mapleinspirations.com are other companies doing similar service as designmemories.com.

You could order as a poster also, framed or unframed. The price will depend on the size and framing. It is not cheap. For example I paid $149 for the water color portrait with framing above, 18" x 24".  The smallest size 8" X 12" unframed varies from $49 to $69 with 2 persons in the photo. Additional charges will be charge for additional faces in the photograph submitted.  

I am very pleased with the product done ( above) my mapleinspirations.com

I have also ordered from designmemories.com The product is also good as follows:

 


However, another company paintus,com product is not as good as the two companies above.

The eyes of Macrine looked really artificial- the original photo is low resolution also.  The yellow outfits is not copied perfectly.

The above three water color portraits are from designmemories.com

Here's my order from Epicpaint that is Poor.


The final frame photo from mapleinspirations arrived yesterday. It is now displayed in the family room.
