"Quiet Sharing" in watercolor, taken at Disney's Animal Kingdom, Florida
Well, last week we were working on taking photographs of our toddlers and preschool children, and by now we have a number of great shots, right? Following along and taking a lot of pictures has given us a number to look through, evaluate and decide which are “keepers”. And, “keepers” should have a destiny, right? Their rightful place is to become photo art.
The kids are growing up so quickly, changing almost daily, and almost as soon as we turn around they are into something new, or have changed in some way we can’t quite put our finger on, but we know they are not the same as they were yesterday.
As we look through our folder full of photographs we notice that one or two really stand out. It was framed just right, the color was brilliant, they looked healthy and happy and we got a wonderful photograph that captured the essence of our child.
So, what now?
Toddler At The Beach
I have a suggestion to offer: Turn your photo into art. You can even make it look like a painting from your photos. Canvas On Demand is where I have all of my pictures into art on canvas printed. They have been my favorite for many years now, and unless they change the quality of the product they produce or their great service, they will continue to have my business!
For example, look at the photograph on the right of a toddler at the beach which has been printed on canvas and then framed to be hung in the child’s room. Imagine how safe and secure your child will feel with your photo on canvas prominently displayed in your home, and even in the child’s bedroom for all to see! Imagine, decorating your child’s room with a photograph you took printed on canvas to look just like a painting from a picture! You can easily do this in Adobe Photoshop CS5 
Or, if you just took your preschooler to Walt Disney World and took some wonderful photos that you could have made into canvas art, you could celebrate the experience there by hanging a canvas print on the wall of your child’s bedroom. Imagine as they grow how many times they will look at that canvas and remember the great fun they had there with you, and you will too.
Or, if you like the “Quiet Sharing” watercolor image displayed here, you can get more information on how to purchase it on canvas by clicking on this image at the beginning of this post.
Once your children leave home you will have a work of art, your photos into art, hanging at home to remind you of when they were growing up. Years later you may decide to give the canvas to them, creating a family heritage from your photographs! They will remember and thank you for the rest of their lives.
