Hand Painted Oil Canvas Painting Portraits

Recently, I stumbled across this amazing website - www.PaintMeReal.com that allows me to paint my own portrait at an incredible price. I've always wanted to have a picture of myself painted like Mona Lisa. When I was still an air stewardess, whenever I travelled overseas, I loved to get myself painted or drawn by street artists in New York's Central Park. There are plenty of talented street-side artists, cartoonist, and sculptors along the park.

If you are lucky, you will be able to find a cartoonist to SKETCH you at around USD$30-$50 for a piece, but that is just a simple cartoon version of you. It is not a classy FINE ART Professional Portrait. I've actually checked with quite a few artists in Singapore, if they could have me painted. They all quoted, SGD$300-$400 a piece. I thought that, that was a little expensive!

When my friend introduced me www.PaintMeReal.com, I was delighted to be able to paint my own picture at only USD$80. At first, when I saw, USD$80, I was thinking, "How good can it be!? So cheap!? Hand Painted!? Professional? Are you serious!?" So, I decided to test it out.

This was the picture, I've uploaded. 

This was the Picture that I've received at my Doorstep. It looks so real and life like!

I loved it so much that I framed it up, and placed it in my office.

I think, they painted me so well, that I looked even better in this painting!

It was amazing! It looked so similar! So, I've decided to try another painting! This was what, I've uploaded. This time round, I chose "Couple" under [No. of Person], in Step 1. This painting cost USD$99, because it has 2 faces in this picture. 

* The price of the painting increases, based on the size & number of faces in the picture. 

This was what I Uploaded.

This was the Picture that I've received at my Doorstep, after 2 Weeks.

By the way, this is a picture of my very good stewardess girlfriend, Rachel. I painted a picture of us, to surprise her - for her Christmas Present. Shhh.. She doesn't know this yet! It is suppose to be a surprise gift. I hope that she doesn't read every single post that I blog. I ordered this painting early, because it takes around 2 to 4 weeks, to get your portrait, processed, painted, and then shipped out to your doorstep. 

* Postage might take even slightly longer, during Special PEAK Seasons - like Christmas, Valentine's Day, etc. Hence, this is the right, time to place your Christmas orders now! 

I loved it so much that I decided to paint another picture of myself..

www.PaintMeReal.com is so professional that even my baby hair could be seen. Their painters are really skilled. Take note that this is hand painted. It is not a digital print.

These are some examples of their paintings that I've seen on their website.

CHOTTO MATTE - Gastropub. Japanese Restaurant. Bar & Grill - I am a huge fan of Japanese cuisine and was delighted to be invited to this newly opened Japanese restaurant to try out their delicious Japanese cuisine and I must say I was utterly impressed with the quality of good and the high level of customer service. Located in the picturesque Spottiswoode neighborhood, CHOTTO MATTE is located in a quiet and cozy corner but you honestly can't missed this amazing Japanese restaurant with its strikingly white entrance which is simple yet elegant. Inspired by the founders quest to offer customers a whole new dining experience where traditional cooking methods of the East and cleverly infused with modern Western influences, this results in a timeless culinary experience where delicate and carefully prepared Japanese dishes are combined with exceptional European inspirations. With an extensive list of specially imported Japanese sake, wine , single malt whisky and beer, customers are able to pair their choice of liquor to the food for a memorable dining experience. 

CHOTTO MATTE which means "to wait a little" seems to signify how one is able to escape the busy urban life by entering this quaint and cozy Japanese restaurant to indulge in a relaxing dining experience while everything else can simply wait. An interesting name for a restaurant indeed! With its dim lightings and beautiful soothing music playing in the background, it was definitely a great place to chill and catch up with loved ones and friends. Customers can choose to sit indoors and outdoors. The private dining area that comes with a sushi bar and open concept kitchen allow customers to see how the chef carefully prepares each dish carefully with intricate details and focus. 

WHAT TO ORDER - For the adventurous diner or for those who trust the chef in selecting his freshest produce to showcase his exceptional culinary skills, do opt for "OMAKASE" which starts from $100 per person onwards, you will definitely not be disappointed. Just simply tell the chef your budget and he is able to create a special customized menu according to your preferences. If not, do browse the Ala-Carte menu and select the wide variety of dishes to try. Indulge in fresh sushi pieces that simply melts in your mouth or grilled yakitori sticks that are cooked to perfection. My ultimate favorite dish is the "Hotate Foguara" which is pan fried Hokkaido Scallops topped with Foie Gras.

PURE SPRING WATER - Chef Roy focuses on the purity of water in his cooking. He personally carried and brought back to Singapore an oxygen tank looking machine from Japan that transforms our piped water to soft spring water. He believes that using the right water helps to bring out the utmost best taste of his dishes to fascinate diners. It is no wonder that he has created a loyal following of regular customers who never fail to visit him at least once a week. 

SECRET TIP: Fresh fish is delivered every Tues and Fri so do visit on these days to enjoy your meal to the fullest!
