No purchase necessary — just leave me a comment and your name will be entered into the drawing.
Want another chance to win? Of course you do — simply visit my brand-spanking-new facebook fan page and "like" it.
What's that you say? You want another chance to win? OK, OK pop on over to my Etsy shop — ThePaintedSky and come back and tell me what was your favorite item. That's 3 chances to win, 2 darling paintings from 1 very happy painter!
Good luck!
What a smart marketing idea! Thank you very much for the opportunity to win an example of your lovely work!!! I'll let others know as well.
ReplyDeleteOh Nancy - you are keeping busy so fun to see your work. Love the room with the yellow chairs, the Kentucky landscape and the Rooster painting. Very nice work...I feel boring, still doing regular graphic design and illustration. Glad you are doing so well :)
ReplyDeleteDeb Wood
Thanks for stopping by Deb! I didn't even know that you did illustration! Love to see some of your work sometimes.

Hi Nancy - found your blog via Etsy's FFA team, and wanted to say how much I enjoy your work and painting style. Both of the paintings shown in your photo above are wonderful.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea for a give-away, and I really like these cradled boards you are using; they really go well with the paintings.
Thanks Sonya!
ReplyDeleteMany folks think theat that's real wood on the sides of the Nests — it's actually the canvas that wraps around, painted in the faux-bois (fancy french for "fake-wood")technique.
The canvases are cradled in wood, but it's covered by the canvas!
Thanks for stopping by!
What a wonderful giveaway! Your paintings are beautiful. :)
ReplyDeleteI visited your shop and facebook page. I think my favorite (if I exclude the birds) is this incredible landscape:
ReplyDeletehttp://www.etsy.com/listing/66211655/robins-egg-farm-large-custom-farm
The colors are to die for!
Thanks for visiting Amanda! And thank you for your kind words.
ReplyDeleteYour name goes in 3 times!
Good luck!
Hi Nancy,
ReplyDeleteI saw your question on the etsy business topics and I came right on over to see what you got. And wow! I love it... Your work is awesome!
Thank you for the chances(oh wait..chances) to win one of your works!
Am off to check out and like your FB page.
Apart from the birds, I really like the 'Huge Abstract Modern Bird Painting'.
Keep up the good work.

ReplyDelete...hmm, it's hard to choose one favorite, but I really love this:
ReplyDeletehttp://www.etsy.com/listing/74513696/quiet-morning-on-the-lake-huge-original
What a wonderful give away, and your paintings are really beautiful! This has to be my favorite: http://www.etsy.com/listing/73383615/backyard-bird-paintings-you-choose-two
ReplyDeleteIs it a baby robin? I just LOVE it!
By the way, it might be helpful for you to list which birds are which in the etsy listings, label them. That would make it easier to refer to them when people are commenting.
Best of luck on your blog, etsy store, and your give away!
Love your work!
ReplyDeleteLiked your facebook :)
ReplyDeleteI love the tree blossom tree nest:
ReplyDeletehttp://www.etsy.com/listing/70392950/cherry-blossom-tree-nest-painting-asian
or any of the birds.
I saw your thread over on Etsy, took a look at your shop and had to put you in my favorites right away! So beautiful! I think my favorite painting is the mama robin with her eggs in the nest.
ReplyDeleteDo you ever offer prints of your originals? I know lots of successful artists on etsy do so and make a lot of sales that way for those of us that can't afford an original.
All of your work is just enchanting!
I am a bird birdaholic and just love your work
ReplyDeleteThis yellow one has to be my favorite
http://www.etsy.com/listing/73383544/backyard-bird-paintings-you-choose-two

ReplyDeleteI simply adore the Lake paintings on Etsy, especially Quiet Morning on the Lake. Lake Burton in North Georgia has been my own Terabithia my whole life, and any painting of a lake just stirs something in me. So we share a love of lakes, art and a name! I also am very taken by the Farm scenes, and Kentucky Hilltop Farm is the one that most strikes a chord with me. Beautiful work!
ReplyDeletewow, so beautiful! I love the look of your paintings.
