I can't describe how pleased I am and how surprised my wife was. The portrait was simply remarkable and the detail was perfect.
These cards are stunning! Even better than the photo. The quality of the paper is sublime and the colors are vibrant. Looking forward to sending them out in the world and brightening the days of the recipients.
"This portrait ('Deb and Dave') was actually commissioned by my boyfriend for his mom after he saw the portrait Brian created for me last year. It was based on a vintage color photograph of him and his sister as kids. It came out perfectly! Brian and Cheri do an excellent job listening to your suggestions as needed and weaving them into the final work."
"Brian and Cheri are an excellent team to work with. I turned to Painted Turtle Originals once again for a family gift ('Al and Marjorie') after a great experience last year. I requested Brian to combine two separate vintage black and white photos which was not an issue. The colors interpreted for the clothing are just perfect - cheerful but not over the top. He seems to do a great job at making modifications based on your feedback before finalizing his work."
"My friend's grandfather passed away, he was like a dad to her. So I decided to get her favorite photo of him done in a watercolor. I found Brian on Etsy and sent them the photo. I was very worried about how it would turn out because the photo was all black and white. I gave him permission to interpret the photo and paint it how he wanted. He rendered it in color, the colors he chose just happen to look perfect in my friend's house. When she received the package she loved it, and was very moved! Best gift I have ever given! Thank you so much for the painting! It hangs in a place if honor at her home and she feels like her grandfather is watching over her!"
"My friend had this artist paint my favorite picture of my grandfather, who had recently passed away, as a birthday gift. He was my world. The artist brought a tiny black and white photo that I have always loved to life with full color. It brought me to tears as soon as I opened it. I framed it and hung it up and haven't stopped staring at it since. I have seen another painting they did for a friend based on my referral and it was also excellent. Serious quality work that will make an absolutely priceless gift."
"When receiving this beautiful and unique design of cards I am so impressed. Not only were they shipped quickly but they were also packaged sublime. xoxoxo"
" Brian and Cheri Sintay were very easy and pleasant to work with and even rushed my order for a small fee to get the portrait ('Bob and Elsie') to me by Christmas. Also had prints done for a couple other family members. All recipients were moved and delighted to unwrap this lovely remembrance. I would definitely consider using their services in the future."
"What a masterpiece!! This painting was done from a picture taken of me, my husband & our beloved fur babies. Our boy dog had just been diagnosed with cancer & we were taking him to his favorite place. The painting perfectly captures the love we have for our little family. The artist was even able to make some subtle changes that enhanced the painting. My husband & I are so grateful to have this beautiful painting as a lasting memory of our sweet family. I'm sure we will be ordering more!! Thank you!"
"I can't say enough positive about the work done by Brian Sintay at Painted Turtle. The team was responsive, understood my needs and delivered a great product. I am so pleased and 10/10 would hire again!"
"Brian is an amazing artist with a true heart for his work. He has incredible attention to detail and his use of colors and light is beautiful. We love the painting he did of our grandchildren."
"Brian is so easy to work with. He remade a painting without any hesitation. Brian is a perfectionist and will not be happy until his customer is completely satisfied. I would recommend Brian to everyone."
"The artist created a beautiful and very realistic watercolor painting of my dog, Taime. I have to say the image - especially the eyes - was so beautifully done; the expressiveness was touching. I absolutely love it."
"Brian Sintay is a master in watercolor. His composition and techniques are excellent. I recommend him to paint a memorable painting for you."
"Wonderful art... will be back for more!"
"These were a Christmas gift for my aunt who loves pansies. She really appreciated getting something useful *and* beautiful. Great communication with the seller and personal note included. Fast shipping, too."
"Just beautiful! This is my favorite flower and you've captured it perfectly!"
