72 Comments Give It Away Now
Alright. Here it is. My big, fat painting giveaway.
I just “finished” it about an hour ago. I could spend about 47 million more hours on it, but I have to quit. And give it away. Here it is.
I decided to continue with my African series. Its fun for me. I’m sure I’ll love this painting someday but right now I’m so sick of looking at it that I could chuck it out the window. I feel that way about every single thing I paint. For a while at least…..
So here I am wearing my weight-lifting clothes with no make-up on and my hair in gnarly braids. Sorry. I didn’t have time to primp.
his will give you an approximate idea of its size.
I could just give you the dimensions but that would require a measuring tool. I think its like….16X24ish?
Anyway, ALL you have to do is leave a comment! Anyone and everyone (within the United States, unless you are willing to pay the shipping. Darn. Sorry fun new reader Mascha in the Netherlands!) who leaves a comment, will have a chance to win. I will enter all names into a basket and draw one out on Monday night. I don’t have an endless list of readers, so your chances are pretty good. Even if you’ve never commented before. Comment! It will be fun. You have until Monday night!
Go!
Me first, me first ,
I am willing to pay for shipping if I win!
Pick me! Pick me!
I want it then I can say ” i knew her before she was famous”
Heather, it’s beautiful. Wherever ti ends up…it will be a cherished piece. I do believe the Pacific Northwest could use a little “violet” sunshine on a daily basis! Great job!
*it
Put my name in the basket!!
Love the painting…and the lamp behind you in the picture of the painting.

Ooh.. you do make the fancy art! Love that!

Since I’ve known you forever I should get it. Very nice.
Oooooh, soooo pretty! I hope being African counts in my favour
And yes, I will pay for shipping! We miss you guys xxx
What a lovely painting! I would be honored to display it in my home. Thanks for the chance to win!
On an unrelated note, I must know more about the bird lampshade behind your head in the photo. That is so pretty and I’d love to know where to get one. Thanks!
gimme that painting! please.
You have been artist since I knew you as a child–very talented. I love to see how you are using your gifts to glorify God
It’s beautiful! I would love to have it hanging in my house! I never win anything. But if I do win, I’ll pay for shipping and also make something for you.
Me, Me, Me!!!!!!!! Love it! Have you ever done any kind of painting that had hands in it? I’ve got a thing for hands. But I love this one, too!
Okay, fine, fine, I’ll comment. I think I’ve commented… once before, but I’ve been reading your blog pretty much forever. Needless to say, I love it.
A peacock tree – love it!
I’m working on my own painting right now. Here’s the kicker: I’ve never painted anything in my life. Well, except for walls. And the occasional window frame. Somehow I don’t think my painting will turn out anywhere near as cool as yours. Maybe if I had it hanging in my house, I could use it as inspiration? :0)
Its gorgeous and your new fun reader Mascha will be visiting me in Toronto in a couple of weeks so if I pay for shipping here, she can take it home to the Netherlands with her!!! Like she said, “please please please with sugar on top!”
it is beautiful…due to the fact i am already the owner of one of your works…i will NOT submit a request for ownership…but LET IT BE KNOWN…that i…the lovely and talented miz ayn…own “Smoking Woman”…and it IS the first thing you see when you walk in my room…IF…you can see through the smoke…you are a wonderful artist…in many ways…(your website/blog is RIGHTEOUS!)
I am so prepared to pay shipping to the UK if I win, I win, I win! I love that every leaf looks like a peacock feather. You have a fine talent girl!

Aaaauuuuggggghhh!!! I commented, but it disappeared! Please count me in.
Love!!!
Absolutely awesome as usual Heather. This is so much fun.
I love it!
My overseas, non biological twin sister Keri’s here too! YAY! Hey, even better idea; I have left three comments now , so chances are huges I will be picked out of the hat. AND if you pick me and I will be so lucky to win your beautiful painting, I could give it to the most wonderful friend in the world who is letting me and my family (of five!) stay with her and her great family. Yes, Keri’s awesome. But shshsh, don’t tell yet; it will be our little secret! *thanks*
And that’s huge. Without an s. And this is my fourth comment. Just saying
It’s really really charming and would go far towards sprucing up our living room
I love your blog, I discovered it a while ago, and didn’t subscribe but couldn’t find it again, but now I’m back!
Oh please oh please pick me. I can even send a photo of where it will be in my house. Please pick me please please please pick me. I’ll pay to ship it. I’ll pay you to give it to me. Please. Imma begging you, Heatherpants!!!!!
I love that picture. My 14 year old son goes to Zambia, Africa with a medical mission every other year. As a matter of fact, he is there right now. This is his second trip. That picture would look great with some of the other wonderful goodies he has brought home to us.
I love it! Love all your stuff (as you know). So what I’m saying is “me, me, me, please, please, please”!!
What an incredible painting! Who knew 20 years ago that you would be so talented.
Me! Me! Me!
This is so beautiful…..Yes! Pretty please?
Wow, that is gorgeous!
Pick me!!!!!
This sums it up for us: http://youtu.be/0mfSfekiZeE
As always, a wonderful painting Heather!

Nice! I only discovered your blog a few days ago, and am still clicking through old posts. I love your work!
Yay. I’m #60
My husband discovered your blog thingy and told me about it. Said its right up my alley. He was right. I just spent the past hour reading various things on here- You’re great!
Hey there, throwing my comment into the pot for the chance at the painting. And of course, I’d be more than willing to pay the shipping to Canada. Good luck to everyone!
Pick me!!
Don’t enter me to win. I would love to see someone who has never experienced your art to win this fantastic painting!!! It’s really wonderful Heather!
Ohhhhh, would look perfect over the fireplace! Count me in!
Love it! I would proudly display this…. please put my name in.
I will pay the shipping! Gladly! I want the picture! (I’m in Australia)
Does 20 minutes before midnight still count as Monday night? This reminds me of submitting online assignments ten minutes before midnight…either way, very pretty painting!
I love this painting – I would be honored to hang it in my home.
I began reading your blog about a year ago and I just randomly reread entries now – I love your humor and your drawings.
Patty

I know the giveaway is over, but I just wanted to add that I love the painting! It’s gorgeous, and the colors are lovely.
See what happens when I am off the internet for a week. I know the giveaway is over, but I would have hung it proudly in my living room.
