reflections of autumn and a give away reminder....

as the colors of autumn start to wane,

i urgently desire to capture the hues of every leaf....

even in the reflection of Radnor Lake....

a different perspective, if you will

it is good practice to "see" things in a new way occasionally.

these reflections look rather abstract, don't you think?

on this most 

particularly

 spectacular

 day

in 

autumn.

 i am having an
ARTY!

an art party.
an arty!
and you are invited!

what's the occasion,
 you ask?

my bravery
and

erinsartandgardens 
on etsy

is open for business!

insert an explosion of confetti here.

that's erinsartandgardens (one word...no spaces)

yes, i finally, finally opened my etsy store,
and i would just love it, love it if you would pop on over and check it out.

i even installed a link to it on my sidebar (fancy, i know).
in honor of my opening and since this is an "arty"
 i am having my very first
giveaway!

i am giving away to one random winner,
this original piece of art
called

"grey jars I"
seen above

12"x12"
square canvas
original acrylic painting
heavily textured in shades of greys and whites
signed by me( of course) on back

if you would like a chance at winning this painting
and i sure hope you do....
i think you know the drill...

"follow" me (for one chance or let me know that you already follow)
or 
blog about this giveaway (for chance 2)
or 
visit my etsy store and come back here and tell me what you think (for chance 3)

this arty will go on for 3 weeks until november 22nd.
drinking wine during the arty is highly recommended, as i heard on the news, there will be a shortage of wine soon.....what?  say it ain't so!


good luck!

erin


p.s.  thank you so much to all of you who have been such big supporters for me....you know who you are...your positive comments and e-mails blow me away......and i love you and could not have done this without you....i am overwhelmed and humbled by you very day.

p.p.s.  i have tried very hard to offer up affordable art, on the smaller side, to make it easier for me to ship....until i get used to this new venture....larger paintings will come later.

p.p.p.s.  who knows where this venture will go?  but i am so excited, nervous and giddy by the possibilities....

weeeeee.....
arty down!
