Blog Giveaway! NYC Prints!!

Monday I had my stitches removed and found out that the biopsy was benign!  **Big Sigh of Relief** It feels good to have them out.  My arm is still sore but I suppose that will take awhile. 

 So, I thought as a thank you for the wonderful support through all of my trials lately I would giveaway a set of 2 NYC prints.  The set includes the above image of the Chrysler Building and the one below titled "City Traffic".  As you can see both of these images are textured which I think gives some really cool effects and kinda goes along with the grittiness of NYC.  Size of each print is 8x10 printed on 8.5x11 matte paper.  Watermark will not appear on print.  

I will be picking one lucky winner who will receive this set of 2 prints.  All you have to do is leave a comment on this post.  If you want to increase your chances of winning then you can share this link on your blog and/or  share it on facebook.  Then stop back here and let me know in the comments.  This is not required to enter.  

I will announce the winner next week on Wednesday May 16.

Good Luck!!

Blog Giveaway!!!

I just realized that I have reached my 200th post!! So I thought what better way to celebrate than to have a giveaway! :)

Since summer has unofficially begun I will be giving away the above photo of the Newport beach cottage. You may recognize from a texture tuesday post awhile back. The original image was altered to sepia and beautiful texture was added as well. I just love the vintage distressed look the texture gives to this image! I have to say that I think it is one of my favorite textured photos I have done so far!

The image size is 7 x 10.5 printed on 8.5 x 11 matte photo paper. So there will be a border for framing.

All you have to do to enter is leave a comment! That is it!! I will be picking the winner next Friday June 10th!

Good Luck!! :)

Love Me

NYC Lamp Post

In honor of Valentine's Day I am hosting a giveaway! I will be giving away one of my favorite prints! I captured this image walking along the Brooklyn Bridge. What struck me at first was the graffiti on the lamp post. Then I wondered about the story behind that moment on the bridge when someone wrote the words "Love Me".

The image size is 5x7 inches printed on 8x10 inch matte photo paper providing a nice white border for framing. All you have to do to enter is leave a comment! I will be announcing the winner Monday February 14th! Good Luck!

PS . . . Thanks to all who commented on my latest painting! I am working on something new with another photo of a sketch that I hope to post soon!
