Wedding Anniversary Gift A Family Portrait in OilBy Allan Holder A wedding anniversary gift, such as family oil portrait, does not have to wait until the married couple is well advanced in years. Instead, a family portrait can be given at any point in the marriage, even as a 10th anniversary gift or a 20th anniversary gift. The oil painting portrait represents a moment in time that will invoke precious memories for years to come. What to Include in the Family Portrait For a couple that is celebrating a 10th anniversary or a 20th anniversary, you may want to consider an oil painting portrait that features the couple themselves, perhaps taken from a favorite snapshot or wedding photo. For a 30th wedding anniversary gift or a 40th wedding anniversary gift, you may want to include more family members in the portrait to depict how the family has grown. Children and grandchildren can be included in the wedding anniversary gift as a celebration of how far the family has come over the years. Another idea would be to use a picture taken on the couple's wedding day ad have that transformed into an oil painting from the photo. Benefits of a Family Portrait Some of the benefits of giving a family portrait in oil as a wedding anniversary gift are that is commemorates the milestones a family has walked through to get as far as they have. Also, because a family portrait in oil is a unique gift, you can be sure no one else will be giving the same thing. It takes a lot to pull a family together for a family portrait, especially if you come from a large family, however, keep in mind that the hassle of organizing and pulling it all together will be well worth the effort when the finish product is presented to the people whose wedding anniversary you are celebrating. An oil painting is an important family heirloom that can be passed down through the generations as a commemoration of how the family began and it will always bring to mind the special occasion of the anniversary celebration on which it was given. The Family Portrait Tradition Traditionally, family members would pose for hours on end over a span of days or weeks while an artist rendered their likeness in an oil painting portrait. This is a very time consuming process and is not generally conducive to the busy schedules of modern families. One way to have the benefit of the canvas oil painting without the long hours of posing is to have an oil painting made from a photo. A wedding anniversary gift should be special and should reflect the family unit that was formed from the marriage union of the couple.
