capture

This is one of my favorite family photos ever. 
I came across this vintage photograph of my almost father-in-law (not the one holding the beaver) recently and I've been obsessing over it ever since. It's absolutely perfect.  Instead of just framing it I think I want to have it commisioned painted like FEB 59:
There are tons of people on etsy who offer custom paintings based on photographs. Does anyone have someone they recommend? suggestions?
