James, I also suggest you stay very linked to the artist if you hire someone. They can get carried away and your image will not look at all like your original image. As you can see if you compare the original to the painted the image really did not change itself. Also as a side note, the first time I saw this done was with bride formals and they were smoking! Brides go nuts over this....... Very elegant! I suggest if interested find a local artist that does the work. You can have say Millers or others do it but again, you don't have the relationship to stay involved in the process.
