Customer Love

    I loved the delicate flower that Dana painted right during a sewing event! This was such an unusal activity and I really was happy with the look and technique. It was a flower for my birth month. Loved the concept. I was able to leave the event with my sweet small painting in hand. Thanks Dana!

    I decided to order a portrait of our dog, Montana, to give my husband for Christmas. I wasn't sure exactly what I wanted, so from the reference photos I sent, Dana chose one she thought would work well and sent me a mock up for my approval. The final portrait was absolutely stunning; she captured all of the detail in her eyes and wispy hair that we know and love so well. It is such a good likeness of our girl, and looks so beautiful in our home. Dana also went above and beyond, wrapping our portrait for us and adding some sweet hand-painted decorations that were so pretty, I didn't need any additional wrapping at all. I am so happy with my experience and highly recommend.

We LOOVE the finished product and will definitely be back for more paintings in the future. If you want an awesome piece of art by a talented and kind artist, Wild Garden Art is your best choice!!!
