Painting Give away. Viking Ship and Elf with Pheonix

Hi Everybody! Excuse my delay, I have only just had time to finish up one of the wee paintings and then come on here to do a post.


I will put two paintings up for give away. All you have to do is 'follow' my blog (or if you don't have a blog, subscribe to the email) and just write a comment to this post and indicate wether you would like picture 1 or 2. If you advertise this one your own blog/website/twitter whatever, let me know (link or something), and I'll give you two entries :D





1. Vikings ahoy, how'd you guess it? Of course I have to put a viking ship in. This one is a rather special painting. It's oil on linen, and has an antique wood and plasterboard frame. Its about 30cm x 40cm. It has quite good detail, will try and do another photo of the vikings in the ship pulling on the ropes (edit: done). It's very lightweight, hence I don't mind doing it as a blog give away as it won't cost too much to send with frame. Mind you, the frame is antique, so it has a few hairline cracks, most I fixed up but I'm not a restorer so can't get em all!

2. An elf with a baby pheonix. This is just a small one, 25cm x 30cm, on canvas board. It is a study for a larger painting that I want to do. Comes as is.

Hi Jade,
Oh dear me, just in case I win, I'd better tell you a preference=I love the Elf with Phoenix and its probably something I would never paint for myself (looks very intricate).
Have a great weekend,
