Testimonials

Dear Joyce,
     The portrait of my husband arrived and needless to say, I was overwhelmed. It is absolutely spectacular—you have captured him exactly, and I don't have words to express my feelings everytime I look at him. I have hung the portrait in the dining room and as I pass through constantly, it seems as if he is alive and speaking to me
.

Angela R. Closter, NJ

Dear Joyce,
     Wow! We have been so thrilled to have your gorgeous paintings on display. They are truly fantastic and get so many compliments. It's wonderful that you have transformed our snapshots into lasting heirlooms, especially in this day of the fleeting digital photo!

Dear Joyce,
     "I could not believe how beautifully my favorite photograph of my grandchildren could be transformed into a painting! I will treasure this vibrant work of art forever." Chan T.

 


How to Commision a Portrait

  1. Select four or five of your favorite color photos (the child or children should be age 2 or older). Several are needed to choose from because the eye, hair, or skin color may not be as accurate in one photo as another. All children must be in the same photo you select. It is impossible to get the correct proportion of the children by attempting to combine two or more photos into one painting.

  2. Send your 5" x 7" color prints to:

            Joyce Designs, Inc.
            853 7th Avenue, Suite 9C
            New York, NY 10019

    Please be sure include your name, address, phone, and e-mail address. All print photos not needed for reference will be returned.

  3. Upon receipt of your photos, Joyce will call and discuss the details of the portrait and its cost with you. She will then send you a Worksheet Agreement.

  4. To begin the work, a deposit is required. After you receive the Worksheet Agreement from Joyce, you will return to this page and click the Deposit Form link below to provide your credit card infomation and submit payment of your deposit on our secure server. The balance will be charged to your card upon completion and shipment of the portrait. Please note there is a no-return policy on custom-painted artwork.

You should expect the painting to require at least four weeks to complete after your deposit is received. Joyce will naturally make improvements in the backgrounds to enhance the painting. For example, note the left side of the portrait of the girl in the red jacket. Two cats were added, and the unattractive chair was removed. Of course, you can be assured that all portraits are hand painted, not computer generated.

Go to this Deposit Form after you have consulted
with Joyce and received the Worksheet Agreement.
