GIVEAWAY WINNER: Congratulations to Melanie Boucher! You are the winner of both of these prints (I’ll be in touch to get your address). Thanks to everyone that entered, and don’t worry… there are A LOT more giveaways coming up in the next few weeks!
……………………………
Confession: When it’s 1am and I don’t have a post for the next day, Saatchi Art is where I go every single time {I have a major weakness for their “portraits” section}. Anywho, I’ve written about a lot of their artists over the past few years and so last week they very sweetly, and totally unnecessarily, gave me a gift card to buy whatever I wanted from their gorgeous site. Um, okay! But wait, I wanted to make sure I shared the love, so here’s what I decided to do… instead of buying one original, I chose two beautiful prints… a set of two, in fact. Do you see where this is going? Yep, I’m going to hang these beauties on my living room wall, and I’m going to give the matching set to one of you! YAY! After hours of deliberation {literally}, this is what I chose:
Sigh. Gorgeous. Two prints by American painter Erin Fitzpatrick. I wrote about her last April and so many of you went crazy for this fabulous portrait, titled “Lane”, so I bought it… twice! It’s 18″x24″, but there was still money left and I felt like this fabulous lady needed a 14″x14″ companion, so I added this leaf study, also from Erin’s portfolio {handy tool on Saatchi to give a sense of scale, while showing us exactly how they’ll look in our perfect/clean living rooms!}. I cannot tell you how excited I am about this little duo… I love them so, so much! If you love them too, and want a chance to win these two prints {valued at over $200}, leave a comment below and I’ll draw one name on Friday November 21st at noon PST. Good luck! {and thank you so much, Saatchi – that was realllllly fun!}
:~)

The light in both look so authentic. I’d definitely take them to the framer and hang them in the office. Lovely.
Absolutely lovely prints! I love the girl in the red shades.
Those colors, those glasses, those lips…sigh.
That’s the perfect plant study to sit next to a plant.

am as an artist.

Ohhhhhh I love love love…..yes please!
Maybe you should change the name of the site to the Generous Curator?? I am an educator and I really look forward to reading your posts everyday. The Jealous Curator helps to feed me creatively and I really appreciate that!

Would love to be her the first thing I see every morning when I get out of bed and walk into my living room after taking a shower, getting ready for a busy day at work. That one moment where I stop, look at her and reminding me to breath, take it slow and enjoy x
Pick me! I would love to have these in my dorm room!
Mesmerizing beautiful! I hope for some luck!

Wow! These are gorgeous! Thanks so much for the chance!
Erin’s models always look great in her work. And “Lane” looks even better for me because SHE reminds me photo of my mom, when she was pregnant with me (late 70′). The same glasses and beautiful, long, dark, plaited hair. It would be great to have these at home and invite parents for little exhibition 🙂 Thank you so much for sharing and making it possible to win these beautiful choices.
Love the color!!!
Amazing colours and great pairing. Great opportunity, thank you!
Very very cool indeed.
Sorry I missed you in Ireland. Come again soon.
