Hi everyone.

A friend of mine needs to have this little text translated into
English.
If anyone could help me and correct the mistakes I probably made :-)
and/or give any idea to improve this translation, it would be very
kind of you.

Original text:
--------------

Vadim et Sandrine, peintres-décorateurs, réalisent à la demande de
nombreux amateurs de peinture un large éventail de tableaux à l'huile
sur toile ; sylisation de peinture ancienne... moderne.
Protraits d'après photo, copies de tableaux de maître, châteaux,
voiliers et toutes compositions à la demande.
ex : dans une copie de maître, intégrer dans la toile --
vous, votre famille, votre maison (cf. photo à droite), etc.
Et cela, avec la garantie d'une grande qualité et de délai rapide.

My translation:
---------------

They can produce -- on request of numerous painting lovers -- a great
variety [spectrum ?] of oil paintings upon canvas; stylization of
ancient or modern painting.

Great. I'm glad someone had the energy to do this. I was a bit worried about
the painters and decorators (peintres en batiments, je crois). However, I
think 'amateurs de peinture' should be translated as 'art lovers').

With kind regards

James Lee
