I was thinking about Instapainting, but then I realized - way too late for Christmas.

That was one of the tabs I opened. I was kind of hoping they offered gift certificates. My use case is probably letting the recipient choose the photo.
OK, just built the Gift Card feature: http://www.instapainting.com/gift-card

You can specify a recipient email at checkout and we'll send them instructions via a special page where they upload photos, talk to the artist, and track the status with the pricing hidden.

Because I'm lazy, your recipient won't know what type of painting or what size until the artist is finished. But let's just call that a feature for now ;).

From feedback to live on production in under 4 hours. You rock.
Surprisingly bug free so far.
We discontinued gift certificates while we develop something unique.

But you can place an order without uploading a photo and we create a project page after the order.

You can send this page and it lets the recipient upload their photo and talk with the artist.
