custom painting giveaway

I've been creating this bear over the past several weeks.... a gift to myself (with my 40th coming up in just over a week....oh....).... I designed him as an old-fashioned bear with a hump and longish limbs and semi-sparse mohair fur. Made using my own pattern, of course. I used to make bears, many moons ago, as a hobby. Now I don't have so much time to make them, and haven't felt the inclination, but I saw this 'red fur' and it had to happen that a new bear came about..... It was difficult to photograph him today as it is so rather dull, oh dear...

As mentioned, it's my birthday soon, and so I am offering a small giveaway, something a bit different (and sorry not a bear!)... I've offered stitched work and a doll, so now painting.... I am offering you a custom painting. I'll paint you a smaller work, following your guidelines. Choose one from each list.

feather face pattern
red blue sepia black
poem memory song


eg: feather red song

and I'll paint something with these in mind.... I may add a little collage or stitch detail, possibly.... I'll send it to you, and you won't see it until you have it in your hands, then I'll share a photo here.

I'm not offering one, but THREE custom paintings! - and so.... leave a comment here - include what you would like - and make sure I can contact you. Any problem with leaving a comment and you can email me: ccullis at gmail dot com

Three winners will be selected, randomly, next Friday evening 6th November..... and I'll send the paintings asap after that...... I hope you will like your custom small artwork.

Tomorrow I shall be adding a few new paintings to my etsy shop (see yesterday's post). Here are a pair of tiny works I'll most likely be offering....


And another, a mixed media chair portrait, postcard size:
