Kiki & Polly

Painting

Moms we know tend to display their children's photos in every nook and cranny in their homes--and that's not even counting the old fridge-turned-photo-collage trick. A few years ago, artist Lisa Golightly was craving a new way to show off her little darlings: Her (brilliant) solution was to weave their photos into her paintings.

Luckily for us, she now makes paintings with anyone's photos through her website Kiki & Polly. You can request a custom background (think: Neverland or Narnia) or choose from imaginative scenes on her site. "The painting [above] is of my son," she tells us. "Boys and paper airplanes seemed like a good fit." And, of the painting below, she says, "I live in Portland, so the umbrella scene came easily!"

The top photo is beautiful. These would be lovely pieces of photo art to frame and have in your home.
