"Best gift. Ever! I have given several of these as wedding gifts and have never been disappointed by the finished product or the surprised and effusive delight of the newlyweds. Truly original gift to be cherished and any memorable occasion can captured in colorful artwork to share with others for years. The absolutely perfect gift for those who “have everything.”

"When I returned from a trip to Paris with my daughter and her family, I wanted something that would capture the fun of the whole trip. I had seen some of Rich’s work and saw what magic his technique could do for a photo so I commissioned this painting. It definitely captured the whimsy and fun of the whole experience and now is the focal point of the family gallery."

--Marilyn Weyant

"These watercolor paintings are wonderful gifts. By asking friends for a favorite photo of a wedding or graduation, I was able to commission Rich to paint an original work of art. I will admit that I had a little fear before I ordered the first one, not knowing exactly what the painting would show, but I need not have worried. Each painting has exceeded my hopes, and each of the recipients was beyond thrilled with the result. I highly recommend these watercolor/photos as a truly unique and meaningful gift."

--Sharon Bryan

"A very close family friend commissioned a watercolor work of art as a graduation present for my son. It was based on a photo of his high school senior class. He was thrilled with the result, because it was so unique to who he is. The painting included many of his favorite activities, and is a lasting memory of this special day in his life. It was a wonderful gift, and I recommend these specialized paintings for anyone who is looking for something truly different for gift-giving."
