On with the show!
I am sooo excited about this giveaway. I've long admired this artwork...
from one of my fav blogs, The Old Post Road!
The artist is Trish, who started painting to fill in time while the kids were in school, eventually turned her love into her profession. I'm glad you were bored, Trish. :)
I just can't get enough of her artwork. The vibrant images and colours flat out make me happy. :)
She has a full blown Etsy shop chock full of her wonderful works of art so be sure to snoop around. She also does custom work as well.
More on Old Post Road
Trish isn't only known for her wonderful artwork. She's actively involved in our DIY blogging community and is one mean decorator. Check this out.
Isn't this entry amazing?
You may remember this bedroom DIY from the window treatment SNS. Decadent.
Oh. And as if that weren't enough, she can sew chaircovers too. LOVE the ruffle.
Trish is really good at finding a ton of inspiration photos on any given topic too so you're missing out if you aren't following her. :)

Donna, Thanks for opening to everyone. I really like the Hayfield print...it reminds me of home.
ReplyDeleteI love the one with the little bird on it, but it is hard to choose.....I love them all!
ReplyDeleteI love them all, but I'm pulled toward the Hayfield print. I think it is because we're under snow, and I'm craving green. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping to have a project to post soon.
Great giveaway and party!
Thanks to you and Trish.

Are you kidding me? We have to pick? That's like saying do you like your left hand or right hand better? Her stuff is FAB!!! I love the scripture prints. I love the hayfield print. They all have a way of speaking to me. But I made some "peace on earth" Christmas ornaments this year, and I guess I would go with that. I need to show her my ornaments! She would love it....and make it look so much better!! I also loved it when she painted the Santa's in the windows. Be still my heart! I so enjoy your blog too. I love your creativeness and the fact you stepped outside the box long ago and never went back in. Kuddo's to you!!! Keep up the great work. Lori L
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting this party, Where else could I find people who appreciate the fact that when I set out to bake a cake I get out my skilsaw, and drill.
ReplyDeleteHayfield takes me back to my days as a kid, helping my Grandpa on his farm.

I love the humble rooster! ~Rebekah

Hi Donna,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the opportunity to be in your give away this week. I hope to soon join one of your fun Saturdays here. I'm up to my elbows in paint right now, but I'll get there.
My fave is #1 with the bird. There are times I tell myself to just trust in God so this is perfect for me. Every little bit helps. :)
Living it up at Lakewood,
Cindy
I love them all, but I can narrow it to two the hayfield or the rooster, if I win I will spend hours agonizing over which one I want. Too much stress to handle this early in the morning.
ReplyDeleteFantastic artwork! The Hydrangeas would match my kitchen/dining area perfect! I also love looking at everyones links, such wonderful talent and inspiration!
ReplyDeleteI love her artwork, so colorful and pretty.
ReplyDeleteMy pick would be #1
Thank you for opening this up to non- linkers. I am still working on my projects! Just getting back into crafting again. Maybe I can link up next week.
ReplyDeleteI love the Be Joyful Hydrangeas!
I really like her paintings and would like the one with the birds.
ReplyDeleteI love them all, but I especially love the hydrangeas in the urn. Trish is so talented, I've been admiring her work for a while now. Dying to try the slip covered chair.
ReplyDeleteall the paintings were great, it made it hard to choose.
ReplyDeletei would love the hydrangeas one.

Trust in the Lord would be my first pick... never mind that I would love one of each, I must be choosy, snicker.
ReplyDeletecallahangang@yahoo.com
Thanks for hosting, Donna.
ReplyDeleteI've entered my DIY in #24
and I would pick #2 "Hayfield".
It's a gorgeous print!

ReplyDeleteI'd choose the Hydrangeas in Vase version as I have a vase just like that one & love it!
Hey,
ReplyDeleteI would like ANY of them, but really like the little bird #1. Thanks for the giveaway
I think the rooster is calling to me!
ReplyDeleteI like the #1 and will also be back to post a link in the party. I am too busy working around the house getting my stuff done to blog now. I know, so sad. I think I might get a bumper sticker that says "I'd rather be blogging." Come to think about it, I should get a sign for my desk and at the kitchen sink as well. hehehe
ReplyDeleteI would just love to have the Hydrangeas in Vase painting. I have the perfect spot for it and her paintings are just soooo charming!
ReplyDeletehheldman@windstream.net
I absolutely LOVE her work. So bright and cheerful. I love the "be joyful" one. Simply put.
ReplyDeleteThanks for a wonderful giveaway!
I am in Etsy Heaven! Her work is so Meaningful!
ReplyDeleteI would be so happy to have any of them. But I can't get the Don't worry Birds out of my head!
Hydrangeas in Vase!! I saw that one on Nester! I've loved it ever since!! Oh please please please let it be me!!
ReplyDeleteI would live the first one...I've already forgotten the name of it, haha.
ReplyDeleteI also think that the colors in the Hayfield painting are amazing too though! :)
Thanks for telling us about her, I love her work.
ReplyDeleteI would choose #1, it makes me 'flat out happy' :-)
I love all of them! Too cute! I homeschool and one of these babies would look awesome in our classroom! I think my fav is the little birdie that has the scripture... trust in the Lord and do good!
ReplyDeleteAmazing site...I like "Be Joyful Hydrangeas"
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is the humble rooster. I love her work!
ReplyDeleteOooo, fun giveaway, her stuff looks great! Thanks for the link party too, getting some good ideas over here :)
ReplyDeleteAll so cute.... I think I'd pick Do Not Worry Birds... love that verse. Thanks ladies for a great giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI love the Trust in the Lord one! So cute!

ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting another fabulous party! I look forward to it each week! Trish's art work is amazing - I love her style. My favorite is the Earth is the Lord's...adorable!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your SNS parties! So much great talent out there. I just can't quite figure out how to copy your button and put it directly on my post. Maybe when you get a free minute you can shoot me an email? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteOh...and I love #1..Trust in the Lord!
I just love the hydrangea painting -- I work at a little church on the tip of Cape Cod, and would love to have this above my desk!

I love #4-Be Joyful Hydrangeas. The verse is so inspiring and the painting makes me smile!
ReplyDeleteshutch6@bellsouth.net
Fun contest! I love all of the anything goes SNS. I'm about to immerse myself in Trish's blog--her bedroom is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteIf I won, I'd have to take that print of the "Hydrangeas in Vase." The green is so fresh! Makes me hope spring is right around the corner.
They are all so unique and pretty! I would love to hang the Be Joyful Hydrangeas in my house!
ReplyDeleteThese are great!! I love the be joyful hydrangeas!!
ReplyDeleteI just adore her paintings! I currently own the flower basket "print" but would love the original. :o)
ReplyDelete- Trish
love the hayfield!
ReplyDeleteI love, love, love her stuff. It is so whimsical, yet so inspirational! Because I am a woman of indecision, I am torn between the "Be Joyful Hydrangeas" and the "Trust in the Lord." Hydrangeas are my fav flower, but I love that little bird and that scripture so much! Have a great night and a blessed week!
ReplyDeleteI like the white hydrangeas--I have that verse on my kitchen wall. I don't always remember to live it, but I do try. Such joyful paintings!
ReplyDeleteTrying to pick one was very hard indeed. I'm drawn to the Hydrangeas in the vase though. I would love to have that one. Thanks for making the give away available to all..
ReplyDeleteHave a blessed day

I love the one with the bird. The colors are amazing! It reminds me of a paint by number school project I once did and won first place on.
ReplyDeleteOh yes please enter me into the contest. I follow Old Post Road and just love her paintings. I would love even more to win one!! I like them all, but my favorite is "Trust In The Lord". I love the verse and the little birdy on the beautiful blue background. Thanks.
