The Perfect Mother’s Day Gift!

Mother’s Day is just around the corner. Mark your calendars for May 9th!

You may be wondering what to get the mother in your life this year. Have you thought about your wife and mother of your own amazing kids? What could a loving husband possibly give her to say “thank you” for the countless hours of love and nurturing that she gives to your family, for the sleepless nights, and tender care?

This year, I would like the husbands reading this to consider a gift that will blow your wife away and likely produce the good kind of cry. A custom, timeless portrait of her children!

Every year, I get requests around this time for Mother’s Day custom portraits. They are some of my favorite projects. Get some of my recent drawings below, and keep reading to find out how you can save over $150.

The Big Giveaway!

This year, I’d like to offer $30 off and 4 free 11×14 prints of a custom drawing to one lucky person. The prints alone are valued at $125, and they make great gifts for grandparents and other family members! I will have a third party choose the winner randomly from the visitors who comment on this post by March 31.

If you prefer, you may purchase a gift certificate for the amount of your portrait to present to your wife so that you can choose the reference photo together!

If you’re still looking for more gift ideas, you can find lots of additional Mothers Day gifts at 1800Flowers to find the perfect compliment to your custom portrait.

I have several more speed drawing videos here if you’d like to see more.

A Time-lapse Speed Drawing Video!

For years, people have asked me things like, “Did you really draw that?”, “Do you trace?”, and “How do you do it?”

Now, you have the answers, all wrapped up in a nice, neat 2-minute video! Enjoy, and take a little dance break if you feel the urge.

There will be many more of these to come, so I’d love for you to spread the love and share this on your own blog or Facebook page! Even Tweet it – you know you want to… *smile*
