17 Dove Street

I feel that it is my solemn duty to alert you all to an AMAZING give-away happening at "17 Dove Street";   A blog about all "those little things that make me happy", by Erin Godbey (another local artist).  She makes these darling embellishments for your ears, fingers, hair, and necks.  Check out her (Etsy Shop!) and she's giving one away to a lucky person (I hope it's me!)

Her give-away ends tonight and all you have to do is leave a comment on her blog!  How easy is that?  (Guys, enter...  your girl will have a birthday soon, and then you'll be the man of the hour.)

The Greatest Give-Away Ever

Attention Everyone! I am doing a very great and very grand give-away!

Thank you all so much for following my blog! You have no idea how much that encourages me. As a little token of my appreciation, I am going to be giving away painting #61 (May 1st)!!! This is actually a very crafty marketing scheme I’ve cooked up... In order to win the painting (Dan’s favorite one so far…) you have to email at least one person, and tell them about my blog. You can enter more than once by telling multiple people! So, say you email 11 people, I’ll put your name in the drawing 11 times. I’m going to keep track of how many people you tell and then use this amazing “random number generator” to pick the winner! (It’s quite fun to play around with.)
The question is, how am I going to keep track of how many people you tell? Email your friends, family, co-workers, strangers… and tell them to check out my blog, and copy me on the email. I’ll count the number of email addresses and add that number to your tally. The more people you email the greater your odds of winning.  My email address is: TheArtist.Emily@gmail.com

And here is a photograph of Painting #61. It’s a beautiful butterfly bush that we saw while at a conservatory in Columbus. It was so beautiful I couldn’t not paint it! It’s a 7.75 x 6.5 oil painting on a thick block of wood. I’ve painted the edges black, so you don’t have to frame it. It makes a great artistic element sitting on a shelf or mantle.
Let the games begin!
