We received the following email from a recent customer:

 Dear Canvas Press staff,

I wanted you to know how much I loved my completed canvas. The subject of my canvas is my dog, Max. I lost Max to cancer on March 30, 2009. He had been my faithful companion for 15 years. I wanted a fitting tribute to him, and his finished canvas certainly fit the bill.  I am just thrilled with the outcome. When I look at the canvas, Max looks so much like I remember him, it seems he could jump out to me. I placed his canvas in the center of the mantle over the fireplace, so that I can look at him every day.

You all were great to work with and very patient with me. Thank you for an outstanding job.

There is a lot to do when getting ready for a new baby, and one of the most daunting tasks can be putting the nursery together. A customer in Houston, TX is putting the finishing touches on the nursery for her baby girl, due in June. Above the crib are two 14×11 gallery wrap canvases, pictures of the soon-to-be Mommy and Daddy when they were adorable little kids. Pink and blue boxes painted on the wall enlarge the pieces and tie them into the style of the rest of the room.

The rest of the nursery is filled with special toys and items both new and old, making this a very meaningful and happy place for the new little girl.

Our OilWorks enhancement is the option to have an artist digitally paint your image to give it the look of an oil painting instead of a photograph. The True Artist option is $79 and an artist adds brush strokes and embellishments to the entire image by hand before we print it onto the canvas. The Master Artist option is $249 (a new reduced price!) and our artist creates a new masterpiece painting out of the image. For all Master Artist pieces, the artist doing the work has a consultation with the customer regarding their desires for the finished piece. After all the digital work has been completed a proof is sent over for approval. Once the canvas has been printed and stretched the artist then takes a clear embellishing gel and paints on top of the canvas to give it real brush strokes and texture.

Customers often ask what is the difference between these options to warrant such a large price jump. With a Master Artist OilWorks you truly get a one-of-a-kind piece of art that is inspired by your original image. Here are images of our most recent Master canvas, with the original photo taken in a Parisian park by Terry from Seattle and the OilWorks artwork was done by Renee Auguste.
