Four weeks ago, I ordered a Watercolor Painting Portrait created digitally by Designmemories.com as advertised in FaceBook. The ad states that completion is expected from 7 to 10 days. After 14 days, I have not heard from the company. I sent the company a couple of e-mails asking for order status update. I thought the company is a scam and commented on their FaceBook Page. Silence!!!
Three days later, I received a response from the company apologizing for the delay. They are swamped with orders and their mail tracking partner has changed. They responded that there will be another 7 t0 10 days of wait.
Exactly 4 weeks after my
order, the watercolor painting portrait arrived properly framed as I
ordered it. I am very please with the results as shown in the photo
above. It is a treasured addition to my Portrait Gallery.
For comparison of before and after here's the original photo that I uploaded for the company to work on.
There are several companies in FaceBook advertising the same service- copying digitally your photograph to look like an original 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.
Meanwhile here's some photos of my simple Christmas decor this year.
Meanwhile,
this rendition of Spanish Romance by Hauser & Villegas reminds me
of Macrine (RIP) and our younger years. One of Macrine's favorite piece.
