Painting of a Photo

Either acquire a picture and paint this yourself, then gift it.  Or if you believe this might be a creative project they might enjoy, gift it to them.  There is also the option of sending it to someone else to have a particular photo memorialized.  They can clean up the background and add elements as well.
