Birthday Portraits: A Gift that Lasts a Lifetime

Imagine this: your loved one opens their birthday gift, expecting perhaps a gift card or a nice sweater, and finds themself looking at a beautiful hand painted portrait, the portrait of a memory that they hold dear rendered in rich oil on real canvas. The look of surprise on their face, the tears of joy, and the understanding of just how much someone cared enough about them to commission a work of art that is so personalized and permanent, that is the magic of birthday portraits.

In a world where most gifts are forgotten with a week or two, the portrait for birthday stands out as something really extraordinary. It is not just a gift, it is a token of love, a moment frozen in time and a work of art that will hang on the walls of their home for decades hence, reminding that person how much they are loved day by day.

For nearly ten years at Portraithy we have watched thousands of these emotional scenes unfold in the making of the portraits for birthday gift paintings we do by commission. Each picture is a different story, and each becomes a cherished family heirloom and is handed down through the generations.

Why Choose the Birthday Canvas Painting?

The usual birthday gifts do their part, but they do not have the emotional value that the custom painted portrait would have. Portraying Birthday Memories through Canvas

Giving gift portraits of birthdays means you are giving a gift that contains creativity, thoughtfulness, and meaning in a way that gifts from a store never will.

Birthdays are special because they mark another year of life, growth and change, relationships and memories. See what birthdays mean? The gifts of birthdays should reflect this. Turning photos that live in your phone and are forgotten in a box of albums is not as impressive as giving a birthday canvas portrait. This art sends a message that says, “Admire this, it is a worth while moment, this means something. You mean something. Let’s preserve this feeling forever.”

Our clients say their birthday gift portrait becomes the most treasured gift they ever received or purchased. One person said her mother cried for 20 minutes when she opened her portrait of her three grandchildren. Another said that whenever she goes through the hall where the family portrait hangs, her wife stops to look and smiles every time. These are not purchases but investments in emotional connection and sewing joy.

The Magic of Gift Portraits

What makes a photo capable of being turned into a work of art? The answer is found in the materials, the operation and the human touch that can not be duplicated by a printer or digital. We at Portraithy use nothing but the finest materials in making gift portrait paintings.

The artist can work upon photos of no matter what grade of quality, not excepting the nasty scratched snapshots of the cell phones that caught that particular moment right, even though the picture was weak. He can take two or more photos and build them into a family group two or three heads to a figure. He can appeal to your suggestion about light background and other essentials, he can make in love expressions, and favoring else he sees the need of painting the picture over again with the artistic thought, or reproduce before something entirely different to the head of heads. This means happy birthday portrait that fits in precisely with what you want, whether photogenic or artistic.
