A Double Giveaway

I had announced a giveaway some time ago to celebrate my 200+ readers and my 200+ posts and the joy of blogging in general. The first painting I am giving away to a lucky winner is this new one I just painted yesterday.
And because it is Valentine's Day soon and so many people commented on the heart shape of my first pastel painting, I decided to give her away also to another winner.
Both paintings will be matted and framed.

So, if you would like to participate, simply leave a comment on this post - if for some reason comments don't work for you on my blog (I know a couple of people where that is the case), just send me an e-mail. Anyone can enter, you don't have to be a follower of my blog. And if you have a strong preference as to which painting you'd like, let me know in your comment.

I will close the giveaway by end of day Friday, February 19th and announce the two winners on the 20th. Both ladies are excited to go to their new homes...

Thank you so much for all the joy you bring into my life!! And good luck!

P.S. We are visiting beautiful Charleston for a couple of days, but I hope to visit your blogs again soon!

  1. Wowowowowowow! Giveaways, they always make the blog so busy! You are most generous and thoughtful!

    Do you know that Valentines Day is also Chinese New Year? I am celebrating both!

    Yes, her face is shaped like a heart - beatiful. But wait, is hear heart shaped like a head?

    Silke I notice a softening of your illustrations. You women are becoming mellow as if they know a secret and they are wise to keep it. I like that. Of course that's my personal interpretation. Maybe my wish for I always think that women who tattle are trash. Your women and my women can be friends. They won't publish each other's emails for example or one will write about the other using their conversation...hahahahaha! Don't blame me. This grey weather is turning my head to mush.

    But seriously, your women and my women can be friends. Let's ask Manon is her women want to join us and Bella's Girls.

  14. Wow! What fabulous art you are offering up to the world. I would love to have either on of your lovely ladies...And I think they would be happy hanging out (no pun) with my Spirit Figures in my little studio here in Coarsegold...we have lot's of visitors during the day and when I turn out the lights and close the door at night the girls have their own little spiritual circle...I can feel the energy when I open the door in the morning.
    So please through my bid in the hat...enjoy your weekend and may your heart open even further to all the love available to you...you are a gift..
    hug, hug
