Nest Painting Giveaway

Some of you spotted the gorgeous next painting in my master bedroom…

It was painted by my very dear friend, former student in our youth ministry, designer of my logo and an amazing artist, Laura Dreyer.   She is now selling original oil nest paintings in her Etsy shop and graciously offered one up for a giveaway.  Here it is…

This is a one-of-a-kind original oil painting on a 16 x 20″ canvas with a soft gold frame.

It’s gorgeous.  I cannot express how talented Laura is.  She doesn’t have a lot listed in her Etsy shop right now, but she does paint commissioned pieces, so send her an e-mail if you’re interested.  Here are some of her other nest paintings…

…and I think this one is my favorite…

Stunning.

If you’d like to win the nest painting, just leave a comment.  For two additional entries, you can Tweet or share this giveaway on Facebook and leave separate comments on this post letting me know you’ve done so.  The giveaway is only open to US residents in the lower 48 states and readers over the age of 18.  It will close Sunday, January 8, 2012 at midnight PST.  I’ll choose a winner at random and announce the lucky person on Monday.

Best of luck!
