Because I am so very appreciative of your encouragement, I wanted to choose something for the giveaway that would express that! Now, my problem is that the originals of most of my pieces are already given away or spoken for, so I decided to offer a couple of 5 x 7 high-quality, archival prints of two of my very favorite pieces.
This egret was my first image transfer attempt for the background and the very first piece where I really painted something representational. I love it, and it has a special place in my heart as do all of you!
And this gorgeous piece I co-created with one of my dearest friends, and to me it contains the true spirit of friendship. It's a combination of collage, image transfer and acrylic paint. I called it "Joint Effort," which is how I feel about my new creative blogging adventure! Without all of you, this blog would not be what it is! I truly appreciate all of you!!So, I want to make this really easy - if you are interested in either print (and I do hope that you are), just leave a comment on this post through this Sunday, June 14. If you feel like mentioning my giveaway on your blog, leave a separate comment on this post letting me know, and I'll enter your name twice. You don't have to be an official follower to enter!
I'll draw the names of the two winners (one for each print) on Monday and post the results on my blog!
It is amazing how many wonderful people you can meet through blogging....I am so thrilled to have met you !!! your work is always an inspiration and you really have a passion for it and that makes all the difference....I would love to win one of your prints!!!
