Customer photo review of Custom Favorite Place Portrait

The 2nd picture is the photo. I wanted to put my phot on a large canvas but given it was only taken on an iphone 12, it would have been too distorted. So, I turned it into a digital oil painting at 36x24in and am super happy how it has turned out. Really pleased I decided to do it.

Customer photo review of Custom Favorite Place Portrait

East Main Street in the small town where I have lived for 52 years is especially lovely in the fall due to beautiful maple trees that line the street. I sent a photo to Wellam & Co asking if they could do a watercolor for me. I am extremely pleased with the result.

Customer photo review of Custom Favorite Place Portrait

This photo does not do the painting justice. Love the painting and the service was great. They were fast and efficient in making the changes I asked for. The painting is a Christmas present for our grown and married daughter. She was born on Christmas Eve and we always had a lot of people over to celebrate the occasion.

Customer photo review of Custom Favorite Place Portrait

I love it, my husband loved it!! It was his Fathers Day gift❤️ His grandma passed away March 2022 his Dad April 2023 🥺 it’s been really hard for all of us but mostly him. He told me “I’ll never get to have a picture of all of us together” so when I scrolling on tik tok I saw the add and I was so amazed a little scared to order because with so many scams out there you never know. I took the risk anyway, they worked with me kept me updated which I loved!! A week 1/2 later I got the picture, I couldn’t be any happier with it. Thank you so much Welham & co you guys are amazing!

I ordered this picture as a gift. They loved it! They said they were “blown away” with how beautiful it was. My only complaint is that the personal message I wrote was not included so they didn’t know who sent it. Other than that, great experience. I’m already working on a second order! I highly recommend this company.
