Art, It’s an Easy Choice!

IMAGINE ART PIECES that take you to
the day that should have been...
Paintings that are like seeing what


cake frosting
tastes like!


It happened to me yesterday,
minus the imagination part, as I
actually saw
what I’m talking
--make that RAVING-- about.

IN SUNDAY MORNING’S WEE hours,
a trail of freshly-squeezed-from-the-tube


oil paint

(I’m pretty sure the color label read "Hydrangea Blue") led me to artist Lara Harris’ A Vintage Touch and then to her Etsy shop-place, studiolara316 . Please find yourself visiting both for a gallery of good gazes! I couldn’t resist snatching up these for your sneak previewing enjoyment:

SEE WHAT I mean?
Outstanding!

NOW FOR A taste reminiscent
of French ice cream, but


more raspberry than vanilla:


Voila !

ARE YOU SITTING down
and holding onto your hat?
Here comes the best part!
Ms. Harris is inviting all of us
to enter her
first ever

blog ART Giveaway!


YES, TWO OF US luckies will win a custom oil painting of "something you treasure," by the artist. (The contest is in celebration of the opening of Lara’s new store on Etsy .) A variety of ways to enter and giveaway details can be found HERE , or by clicking the blog button (right sidebar). What a perfect way to start your week, eh? Many thanks to the artist for this special opportunity!


YOU HAVE THROUGH June 28th to enter;
the winners will be announced on
Tuesday, June 30th
.
I’d run, NOT walk, to make the entries.
And, hey, kids, NO pushing!

TWO WORDS: Good luck!
