A portrait of someone you love in the Garden style
Broken colour, loose dabs of pure pigment and a garden suggested rather than described — a luminous, high-key painting from your photo, from $69.
What Garden does with a portrait. The gentlest style for children, couples and family photos taken outdoors: loose dabs of colour, a garden suggested rather than described, faces kept but softened the way light softens them.
The photo. Daylight, eyes visible, the face filling a good part of the frame. Older, scanned or slightly blurred photos usually work at 8×10 to 16×20. We never smooth, slim or retouch a face.
The size. 16×20 in a hallway; 24×36 for a single face over a console table or a mantel.
How to start. Upload one photo and see it painted in Garden free, in about fifteen seconds. Leave an email to see the other five styles and make up to three free adjustments. A person checks the full-resolution proof and you approve it before anything prints; if it isn't right, we repaint it free.
