black Friday art sale & giveaway

I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!  I’m still taking some time off, but I wanted to share just one Black Friday sale for those who are interested.  If you missed the original art sale I had last week, I have added some of my new paintings to Society6 and they are having a Black Friday sale today!  This includes 50% off wall art!

Here are a few of the recent additions for the Black Friday art sale…

abstract landscape pear | black Friday art sale | Marian Parsons fine art | Miss mustard seed

abstract landscape pair 1/2 and 2/2

abstract seascape no. 5 | black Friday art sale | Marian Parsons fine art | Miss mustard seed

abstract seascape no. 5

nice view no 1 | black Friday art sale | Marian Parsons fine art | Miss mustard seed

nice view no. 1

nice view no. 3 | black Friday art sale | Marian Parsons fine art | Miss mustard seed

nice view no. 3

blue nose II schooner painting | black Friday art sale | Marian Parsons fine art | Miss mustard seed

…and Nice View no. 5, which is the Blue Nose II Schooner

I also added some of my older paintings for the Black Friday art sale, like the Pair of Pears and a couple of the barns.

I hope you find something you like if my paintings speak to you and you’re looking to fill up some blank walls.

At this point, I’m just selling art prints in Society6, but I’d like to expand to a few other products when I have the time to design specifically for those projects.  I’m thinking specifically of a color chart wrapping paper!  I would love to have that done in time for Christmas, but that’s not likely.  The list of things I would like to do this holiday season is pretty long…gingerbread houses, hand-painted ornaments, crocheted snowflakes, hand-painted papers.  I’m even smiling as I type this list knowing that I might not fit it all in and that’s okay.

I will be reserving some time for more painting, so I can have another original art sale soon (hopefully before Christmas.)  The support I have received from my followers when it comes to my art has been encouraged me to continue painting with intention and purpose.  I absolutely love doing, but you’re the ones who made it more than just a hobby and I am thankful to each of you for that.

Also, I have a pair of abstract landscape paintings that didn’t make it into the sale, so I thought I would offer them up as a giveaway!

The giveaway is for this pair of 5 x 7 original acrylic/mixed media landscapes…

 

If you’d like to enter to win, just leave a comment!  The giveaway is open to international readers and will close on Monday, November 30, 2020, at midnight PST.

Good luck!

  2. Oh, I have the perfect place for these paintings! I’ve always been drawn to traditional, realistic art, but lately have really found myself interested in more abstract art. Realistic enough to tell what it is, but abstract enough to not be an exact image. I have no idea if that makes sense – ha! Anyway, so very lovely!!

  4. I try to collect only original artwork and these are beautiful! I had missed out on your other sales (by the time I checked, everything was sold out!!) so this would be a beautiful prize to win for the holiday season

  5. I’m just so glad that I found your blog all those years ago, Marian! Whatever you do is done with such high standards and I am motivated by your willingness to try something new, too!

    am a Missouri girl and am especially drawn to the paintings you do of fields and clouds, something that I love and that we have lots of here in my home state. Thank you for this opportunity. Blessings!

  6. I so enjoy reading your blog and finding inspiration in your art, home, and decorating ideas. One of my favorite entries was you recent meditative piece about finding beauty in simple things. Hope.you and yours had a Happy Thanksgiving!

  8. These are beautiful! You have inspired me to finally give painting a go! Thank you sharing your talent! Have a beautiful Christmas season!

  13. I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving! These are beautiful… You’re artwork always make me happy! These are all the colors I love to surround myself with, so serene. I’m ordering a few prints today but oh how I’d love a few originals! Have a blessed Christmas season ❤️

  16. Your paintings are so beautiful Marian. Thank you for the giveaway. I’d be proud to own one of your originals!

  18. You are so talented. Love watching your Instagram post. You inspire me to return to my hobbies and take some time for myself. Would love to receive piece of your art work.
    Blessings,
    Debby

  20. Your work is wonderful, I love looking at all of your pieces. And your studio is beautiful. It must be the best place to get your creative juices flowing.

  22. You’re so generous with your paintings! I love watching your painting develop and grow. Pushing yourself helps you learn

  23. Yours are always the first posts I look for! Have followed for years and have so enjoyed going along on your journey.

  24. I really appreciate all the inspiration I receive from your blog and Instagram. Thanks for this great giveaway. Wishing you a wonderful holiday season!

  26. Thank you for sharing your talents in so many ways. I am intrigued by your paint swatches and can see those being used as art as well.

  27. Missed out on the oil sale but love these acrylics too. Think colour chart wrapping paper is an inspired choice – count me in. Looking forward to the next art sale – for me it goes live at 1.00am – boy was I tired the next day. Hoping you’ll find time soon to do some more art classes for us to paint along with. Enjoy this down time with the family, Christmas is coming and who knows what 2021 will bring.

  29. My wife loves your work. (Not like I don’t, but she found you before me) I haven’t been able to gift her one of your original paintings as I just can’t quite catch it soon enough. So I’m trying whatever I can for her Christmas gift. I would also love to have your art on our walls as your vibe is as soothing as aloe. Be well and thank you.

  30. I love your style, your art, your home! Have been trying so long to get an original art piece from you!!

  32. Oh my! Yes i would love to have your art work in my home!! This is a sweet giveaway and i thank you, Marian!!

  33. Oh, I would so love to have original art work created by you! Thank you for sharing your many talents on your blog and Instagram.

  39. I would love to own a piece of your original art. Each time I have tried to purchase one they have sold out in an instant. My in-laws live in Rochester, so your paintings bring back lots of memories.

  40. I am thankful for you as an inspiration and distraction during this uncertain time. I hope to try my hand at acrylic abstract landscapes during this 2nd stay-at-home stretch and look forward to your tutorial. Keep the inspirations coming!
    Thank you

  42. Grateful to have been able to follow your creative endeavours for some time now! Would be lovely to have some of your art in my humble abode!

  49. Love your paintings. I paint in Acrylic, just been too afraid of oil. You make me want to try that medium out. Thank you

  51. I am thankful for stumbling across your blog one day. Because of you, here I am years later with a metal cow head in my kitchen with a wreath around its neck, a collection of Wallace bells and an art studio that at 55+ Was never in my plan but your inspiration is addicting. Thank you for making me the inspiration I am today to my little fans. 🙂

  56. Your art has always spoken to me and I’m hoping to finally buy one of your originals soon! I’m adding it to my Christmas list! ??❤️

  57. I would love to be entered into the giveaway. I have been a follower for years. Your artistic talents have truly grown over the years. Your paintings are so beautiful.

  60. What beautiful landscape’s!!! I just wanted you to know how much I enjoyed the art classes you offered to your blog readers. You are my inspiration to paint. Thank You!

  61. I tried to buy your pear platter on Amazon. Paid for it, got a ship notice then was advised it wasn’t available any more.. what happened? Can I buy it somewhere else?

    And please add me to your giveaway….as a consolation prize ?
    Sandra

  62. Your art takes my breath away! One day I’ll own an original piece, but until then I will need to buy some prints!

  64. I’m glad you are offering prints! Thank you for sharing your talents. The ability to create brings so much joy, especially this time of year. Merry Christmas, Marian.

  66. Abstract art is more and more appealing to me and it would be wonderful to finally have something abstract in our home. Your art is engaging and speaks to me.

  67. Beautiful paintings, Marian. I would love to have these grace one of the empty walls in our home. ?

  69. A wonderful pick up for this amazingly stressful year. God’s beauty brings us to realize the important things in life.

  71. How kind of you to give us a chance at owning something you’ve made!!!
    I wish you and yours a very Happy Holiday season filled with laughter and love.

  76. I had to laugh when you mention “filling up some blank walls”. Your art certainly does so much more than that. I ordered your cross stitch pillow and can’t wait to add it to my bedroom pillow collection. I think it will be perfect.

  78. Thank you, Marian, for being an encourager. I’m going to watch your YouTube tutorials. Soon, I’m going to buy your recommended brushes and other basic supplies to get started. I don’t know if I can do what I’ve dreamed of doing for many years, but I’ll never know, if I don’t try. Blessings to you!

  80. Just recently found your blog, and I am so glad I did! Always feel inspired after reading your posts and seeing your latest projects.

  82. Love seeing your artwork! You are very inspiring. Thanks so much for sharing with us. I’m looking forward to seeing what you will be doing next! Enjoy your Thanksgiving holiday with your family.

  86. I ordered one night before last and can’t wait to get it in the mail! I was so excited I could afford one! ?

  87. I would love these! You inspired me to teach myself how to crochet, using your youtube videos for instruction. Guess what everyone is getting for Xmas?!? Haha!
    Happy Holidays!

  88. Your work is just beautiful! Since I discovered you on Instagram I have taken on more painting projects around the house.

  92. I’ve recently converted a spare bedroom into a “room of my own,” a place to journal, craft, read and occasionally nap! Your very amazing landscapes would complete the room! ??Pick me please!!

  93. Absolutely beautiful work! I’m sad to have missed the original art sale and will keep an eye out in future. Prints for now!!

  98. You inspired me to try my hand at oil painting w/your online classes. Now I’ve been playing with water colors painting Christmas cards for a few special people. I would be blessed to hang one of yours. Best Christmas present ever!

  109. I love your art. I was disappointed not to get one at your last sale. These are lovely.
    Thank you for this giveaway.

  111. York work is so beautiful! Your painting of the path that goes in two directions reminds me of my mom’s favorite poem by Robert Frost – “Two roads diverged in the woods….”

  116. I have your dish with the pears hanging in my sewing room! I love it! A piece of your artwork would be fun. Have been checking TJMaxx for a painting. No such luck.

  118. It would be an honor to win one of your paintings. Especially since I consider you the reason I started painting again. I’ll always be grateful.

  121. Marian,

    Thank you for the super nice giveaway, I would love to win one of your originals !
    I enjoy so much all of your posts, I even started crochet thanks to you !

    Hugs from France,
    Hélène

    1. Marion, you inspired me and so many others to try our hand at painting during this pandemic. It was so comforting and rewarding to see the progression I made. Then I had to go back to work….2 part time jobs. I havent had the chance to enjoy and slow down and paint again but I wont give up. Thank you for bringing light to my little corner.

  126. I am in awe of your talent. It looks as though you have been painting for years. I am in Canada and often giveways are for the US only so thank you for letting us participate. Will take a look at Society 6. Thank you for sharing your art with us 🙂

  240. Hi Miss Mustard Seed loved exploring your blog and learning about your artwork they are fabulous!

  241. Oh, these are so fun and fresh! I just love the dreamy clouds! Thank you for sharing your talents with us.

  242. I’m enjoying the abstract turn some of your paintings have taken. Just painted our dining room light green and white. I know one of your paintings would look amazing in here!

    1. These are beautiful! Do you mind telling me what paint brand you use? Acrylic or oil? And the substrate? Thanks!

      1. Sure thing! I mostly paint with oils, but some of these are acrylics, like the pair I’m giving away. Acrylics don’t blend as well since they dry so quickly, so I get a different look with those. I use several different brands, but for oils, I use a lot of Windsor & Newton and Gamblin. I have a few colors that are Charvin and Vasari. For acrylics, I use Golden, Atelier, and Charvin.

  243. Your art is so beautiful and it would be such an honor to win pieces to hang on my walls. Thank you for the opportunity!

  246. Love following you. Watched your oil painting lessons… so wonderful to share! Thank you for all you do.

  249. Merci Marian! Enfin un concourt ouvert à l’international! J’habite la France et chaque blog que je consulte réserve ses cadeaux aux USA. J’aime beaucoup votre univers, votre palette de couleur et votre habileté en couture. Vous m’avez beaucoup aidée par vos diy. Pour la peinture, je ne suis pas du tout douée, vous êtes vraiment une artiste! Bravo et merci pour votre partage.

  250. You are such an inspiration in everything you do and then share with us!
    May God Continue to Bless You!

  251. I’ve loved watching the evolution of your painting! These abstract landscapes are becoming some of my favorite things you’ve done!

  252. I’m so happy that I stumbled upon your Instagram! I love your work and it has inspired me to paint again! I hope we can buy a house soon so I can set up my paint studio here in the Netherlands. Would love to have your art hanging in our new home! ??

  254. Your paintings, or rather your adventure into painting as art, have inspired me to paint more and to do so proudly. Still working on my confidence but have managed to sell one large abstract. Thanks for sharing your journey.

  255. I was so lucky at your last sale~
    You are so talented and love that you share with us! ♥️Lee

  262. Thank you for your inspiration. I have recovered chairs because of you and have recently gotten into art.

    Happy Holidays!

  264. Love your paintings. Would love to win. For thanksgiving I the gelatin fruit dessert. It was a hit. I used the 1/2 cup sugar and was just right. I don’t like to use Maraschino cherries ? because of the dye. Found some at our coop that doesn’t use dye. They were delicious.

    1. Yes, I bump the sugar back, too. With good fruit, you just don’t need that much sugar!

  268. What a sweet giveaway, thank you! And I know the same happiness at too many fun activities and projects ahead. It’s a good problem to have!

  269. Love your art!! It’s always been difficult for me to buy things for myself, but I will definitely take a look at what is available. Sorry I missed your sale!! -Heidi

  288. I love your art so much and have been inspired by your home and following along since the beginning. Such a pleasure watching your journey.

  292. I love all your work! You inspired me to paint during the early days of the pandemic with your classes and I am still painting now – even have a couple Christmas paintings in the works 🙂

  305. I was thinking about your commitment to learn how to paint just the other day. It really got me thinking how we’re so used to quick fixes, instant this and that, that making the time and commitment to learn or improve at something seems almost lost to us. I need to take a leaf out of your book and make the effort. Thank you.

  306. Iove your artwork so much I ordered 2 prints through Society 6 this past weekend! Can’t wait to receive them, but would love to win 2 more!❤

  307. Thank you for all the inspiration you provide. My daughter and I followed your blog and made our very own gingerbread house from scratch. Ours came out a little crooked but we had so much fun making it.

  309. Hello. Glad you had some time off and enjoyed thanksgiving. I used an ironstone platter that belonged to my husbands grandmother for our turkey platter, I have not paid much attention to the bottom. It is “Royal Ironstone China, Alfred Meakin. England”. Thank you for sparking my interest. I adore your collection. This is my first comment to you. I have been following you for several months. I absolutely love your house remodel. The colors are those that I have in my master bedroom. I would love to have these colors through out.

  312. You are such a light and a joy! Your love for others and your home is woven through all you do! Thank you for sharing your gifting with us!

  314. We were just discussing your paintings at our last book club gathering! Just how stunning they are and our terrible luck at snagging one before they sold, lol! God has gifted you with such a talent to interpret beauty with your eye and translate it on canvas. Love that!

  315. You are Amazingly talented, and such an inspiration. I would be so honored to win your 2 paintings!!

  316. I’m so happy to see that you’re playing more with acrylics and mixed media these days! These pieces are beautiful – I missed the first sale because we were out of town but I would love to snag something from you!

  319. I don’t know how I found you…..so glad I did!!I’m enjoying how much you share of yourself and all the things you do?

  320. Marian, I have followed your blog and career for quite a number of years. When I was a single working mother of a special needs child (and had no computer at home) , if I arrived at work early, I would start my day with your blog. It always set the tone for my day. Please keep up your beautiful work! ?️?️?️

  326. I’m so honored that I own two of your oil paintings that I LOVE! Wouldn’t mind two more paintings:)

  355. These are just beautiful! I’ve tried painting and it turns out like the art I did in 2nd grade! Thank you for such a nice giveaway:)

  356. I am awed at the depth and play of colour in the skies of your artwork. Ha- the auto-correct is underlying my Canadianized spelling of colour, there it is again-lol. One word Beautiful.

    Kim
