One World One Heart Giveaway
The final
One World One Heart Blog Open House is on. Bloggers from around the world offer a "door" prize which will be drawn February 17th. All you need to do is visit the blog of the participating artists, leave a comment and you will be in the draw to win their prize/s. Simple isn't it?
Followers of my blog have seen the process of creating this prize. It culminated in an unfortunate incident where a lot of water was spilt on the painting. Fortunately I managed to cover up what wasn't meant to be there. Unfortunately, what I didn't realise was the amount of water that had been spilt on the painting, saturating the board the canvas is mounted on. We have have extremely hot weather here, the board dried out today and some of the canvas has come away from the board making bubbles underneath the painting. The affected areas are the corners and top of the painting so the winner could frame if and camouflage the damage to a certain extent. It is very disappointing but only slightly detracts from the focal point of the painting.
So if you are interested in winning a slightly damaged, but still beautiful original acrylic/mixed media painting, please leave a comment below and a random draw will select the winner on February 17th.

Oh I love this! Fabulous prize, thank you for the chance to win and its so nice to meet you. :-)
Thank you for your comment on my blog, I look forward to following your artwork.
I think the face you have painted is stunning-I wish my hair looked like hers! As for any peeling paint, if you hadn't said anything, I'm sure we all would think it was an intentional part of the art. Hello from Canada!
Hi Brenda,
I'm sure you're being way to judgemental on your painting and the mishap with it. I'd be happy to overlook any bits that make it unique! Thanks for stopping by and entering my OWOH giveaway. Waving back at you from over the river at Berri. Hugs Naomi
We all have a blemish or two! I love your painting and the beautiful sentiment expressed. Thanks for the chance to win your awesome painting.

Your painting is still beautiful! I would be honoured to hang it on my wall. Come see my OWOH post as well.
I think no one would know it was damaged unless they'd heard it from you! It fits so well with the media!
Don't need a prize, just saying hellos...and wondering now what a Chook is!:D
Hi Brenda - Thanks for lovely comment left! and also for following. I would like to reciprocate but have to work this out later. Judging by the number of comments I wouldn't be the slightest bit worried about the little bit of damage to your work - better still you were up front anyway.
I would be very happy to receive it.
All the best and hope we talk more soon.
x Suzy
Great! A wonderful Giveaway and very nice blog.

Hello to you in Australia, from me in Canada. Lovely painting, lovely sentiment.
Hi there,
I am so glad you popped over and left a comment on my OWOH posting. Thank you for the kind words. Photography is my passion. I too love to read and garden but computers are not my thing, unfortunately. The mishap with your gorgeous painting doesn't seem to have affected the amount of people who would love to own it.
It would look really nice hanging above my art table. Count me in, please.

Like everyone else, I think the 'damage' is just part of the story of the painting and adds to it rather than detracts. The wording is beautiful.

Oh, slightly damaged or not, I would be thrilled to get a chance to win! (it can only add character to the beautiful painting! :) )
I think it is an absolutely lovely painting...and you know what? "Happy accidents" are those that give art its story. How fun would it be to admire this beautiful art and know that its creation was human-life-in-progress. :)
Thank you for the opportunity to win such a story.
