My Dears, I'm very pleased to announce this week's giveaway. It's a beautiful mixed-media painting by the lovely Susan Najarian.
It measures 3 1/2" by 3 1/2" and 1/2" deep and features of solitary blackbird sitting on a wire and gazing at a beautiful blue sky.
It's a wonderful piece for that little spot that needs some art. Susan has other gorgeous things as well in her Etsy store.
She creates her art by digitally manipulating photos and images and then transferring them to a wood frame covered in encaustic wax. Layers of wax then suspend the photograph, altering the appearance to produce a "cloud like feeling." The images appear to float. So lovely!
To qualify to win, please leave a comment here anytime today and visit Susan's Etsy store.
UPDATE!! THE WINNER IS BEE! (Ms. Bee, please contact me! ha!)
PS: I'm still trying to reach "Disgruntled Customer," who won last week's drawing! If anyone knows Ms Disgruntled, please tell her to contact me.

Wow, this is beautiful and... oddly enough, it combines my favorite shade of blue with my husband's favorite bird (they follow him!). Keeping my fingers crossed!
That blackbird looks so pensive...

Oh, how interesting. I'm familiar with the digital things you could do with photography, but I am intrigued about the other process. I look forward to visiting the Etsy store.
intriguing pic, bird on a wire. could bring interesting stories...i am in.
It's a Leonard Cohen song isn't it?
I love it.

I love Susan's work! I was at her etsy store the other day, and picked out a few paintings I would like to buy, how coincidental that you would be giving one away today, or is it?
Have a wonderful day!
how lovely! it would make a wonderful mothers day gift!
This is really beautiful. You always find such fabulous things, and I just follow along...
This is lovely, thanks for posting Tina. I am fascinated by her process. I'd love to give it a try. Her Etsy shop is full of great stuff, thanks for the tip!
Oh, I want this one SO bad! I love the "bird on a wire" motif. I have taken so many photos of lonely birds on lonelier wires.
I certainly hope I win this beautiful piece!
I am glad to have the opportunity to have seen Susan's Susan Najarian. This mixed-media painting is simple and beautiful. It truly does give the sense of actually being in the clouds. Very nice.
Oh my God! I love it! I hope I win...I love birds (ever heard the song by Nelly Furtado "I'm Like a Bird"? It speaks to me...) and blue is my favorite color!
Her work is beautiful...
I would love to add this to my loo gallery!
Oooh this is gorgeous!!

That's a beautiful painting. I'm moving to a new apartment in July and that would definitely be put on my wall :)
OH I love this piece! I need to go ck out her store!
I SOOO NEED this in mi casa!!! it reminds me of the sweet movie, "How to make an American Quilt." The story of how her mother found her soul mate by following a crow.
i loved it... because crows are not generally thought of as love. This is a beauty! thanks for the chance xo
I have always admired the beauty of a raven-Susan's other work is just as lovely!! :)
That is a great painting. Is it wrong that I already know the perfect place for it in my office? :)
Quoth the Raven, "Lovely painting!"
What a lovely piece, very still but bright.
Doesn't this already belong to Tippi Hedren?
I could stare at that photo all day and come up with a million things to write haiku about!
bird on a wire, that's how i often feel,
flitting from signal to signal, a reminder to
rest my wings
This is combining 3 of my favorite things; clouds, birdie silouettes and um, GIVE AWAY.
I love this.
This is a beautiful piece of work.It would look great anywhere - home or office!
