Delicious Autumn!

Thursday, September 16th, 2010

It was George Eliot who said:  Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns.

I have been traveling a bit this summer, and I seemed to roast everywhere I landed.  Even as far north as Wisconsin, the heat index reached 108 degrees!  That sort of weather drains my energy and makes me feel as though I am walking each day through a huge vat of molasses.  But now that some cooler weather is coming our way, I find I relish in it.  I am enjoying the lovely fall colors in the Midwest where I live, walking the nearby trails, and riding my bike again.

And what a great time of year to capture the colors!  I love those images of children jumping in piles of leaves and pumpkins and shocks of fodder on the front porch.  So get out your camera and snap away!  If you have a photo you especially love, just email it to me at mom@canvasondemand.com, and I may share it on this blog.  Here are a couple we’ve received already from customers Barbara and Kris.

Barbara from Powers, Michigan:  “This photo was taken in a hardwood forest my family owns. We spend many fond weekends at our camp with family and friends and this was snapped on one of our excursions in the woods. This canvas will be treasured by me forever! And the service was awesome, excellent, and the quality was unbelievable–fast and friendly!”

 

Kris and her husband were enjoying a relaxing weekend at her parents’ cottage in Upper Michigan, when she decided to capture some lovely fall colors.  “I was struck by the beauty of the light coming through the trees. I felt like I was in the enchanted forest; it was magical. I had to have a canvas created of it. Thanks for the exceptional work.  I appreciate your honesty, personalized service, and speedy turnaround time. And the quality is extraordinary! You’ve made a lifelong customer out of me.  I highly recommend Canvas on Demand to everyone.”

This photo was taken the before my second deployment. We wanted to make sure we got a new family photo since the deployment was going to be extended from 6 months to 10.

Here’s what Adam had to say about Dawn…
My wife holds down the fort at home and makes sure the kids get lots of love and attention. She deserves a nice portrait for the house.

My mom is great – always supporting me sending care packages to my wife and kids while I am gone. Grandmother to 9+.. and gives personal attention to all but herself.

My mom is very strong, and she has to be because both of her sons are in the military and we are both deployed right now.

From Our Mom to Yours!

Wednesday, May 5th, 2010

I had the wonderful pleasure the other day to present an Operation Hi Mom canvas to Lauren, the mother of Eric who is currently deployed in the US Marines. What a joy for me and for her! As a mom myself, it touched my heart to be able to present her with this complimentary Canvas on Demand wall hanging as a Mothers Day gift from her son, Eric, who wrote:  She’s the best mother a guy could ask for!

This opportunity gave me an up close and personal glimpse of how this program is encouraging our troops and their families! Enjoy the video of Lauren below! Mom

Tripping the Shutter

Monday, April 19th, 2010

Some of our customers really have a way with words.   Greg from Magnolia, Arizona is one.   Besides his great testimonial, I love the image on his canvas!   Keep tripping that shutter, Greg!

He says:   The image is of a pair of pintail ducks taking off with a couple of other ducks watching.    I have used Canvas on Demand to print out about a dozen images so far. Your quality is superb. Each canvas you created  has captured the feeling that I had when I tripped the shutter. The service department has been great–very quick with the work and responsive to my needs. Thanks so much!   Greg
