There are unlimited possibilities to what you may add to your portrait background. Choose from sports, holiday destinations, loved ones, family homes, pets and birthday ideas.

Yes, this is a great idea and can easily be achieved with a little help - from you!
The artists can paint all photos on canvas; these highly trained experts can paint anything. The question which must be answered is what type of background do you want in the painting? If you are from Melbourne you could be pictured in front of the Yarra River or MCG, Sydney photos to canvas could include the Sydney Habour Bridge or the Opera house. The beautiful Brisbane river could feature on Brisbane photos to canvas…these are only the broad choices.

Another great way to have a custom photo hand painted on canvas is to change the background or add extra people.
