Digital pictures converted to works of art

I have always wanted to have a big painted portrait of our small family rather than a photograph haging in our living room. It would definitely be a conversation piece and I saw a program on TV once where they convert your digital pictures into painted pictures.


Finally found a company who does just that. Photofiddle.com offers some great unique home decorating ideas. You can now send them your digital pictures and they will then convert it to a high quality oil painting, colour sketch, pop arts and many more options. It's so easy. After signing up: 1.Select style 2. Upload photo 3. Crop and preview.

You can have the picture either rolled, stretched or frame.

Checked with few other companies offering a similar service and I discovered that their prices are quite competitive. They also ship outside the US but you need to obtain a custom shipping quote from them.

Anyway, if you are a Connoisseur of the arts, take a look at Park West Gallery. Park West Gallery has one of the largest collections of high quality fine art in the world. They do conduct fine art auctions throughout the United States and Canada.
