C+K GIVEAWAY: CUSTOM ART FROM ERICA ERIKSDOTTER

As this morning's home tour showed, collecting art is, in iteself, an art. Few of of us are lucky enough to invest in personal pieces, let alone commission a piece for our own home, but today contemporary artist Erica Eriksdotter is giving you the chance to do just that!
giveawa21
I used this room from Domino to illustrate how one of Erica's pieces could perfectly perk up and complete your bedroom (or living room, kids room, dining room...) with bold color choices in her current favorite subject...

Florals! Of course, some of her subjects have a lovely soft side too... 
erica1
So, here's the scoop! Pop over to Erica's website to browse her artwork, then head back over here to let us know which piece was your favorite, or what you'd commission her to do! The winner will receive an original piece of art in acrylic on paper in the size of their choice (12x9, 12x16 or 16x20).

Framing is not included, but a free consult from yours truly is! If, as the winner, you're in need of a little artistic assistance in choosing a subject or colors for your piece, then I'll be ready to assist!

Extra entries for becoming a fan of Studio Eriksdotter on Facebook (don't forget to leave a comment!) !The winner will be selected this weekend... good luck!

  22. I love the watercolors, and I'm partial to the acrylic beach scene. But the bridal bouquet has me thinking I would ask her to paint my bouquet from my 2005 wedding. Flowers may not last forever, but a well kept painting does!

    ReplyDelete
  23. Spanish House! Bella!

  24. love your work ERICA!!!! (if you are reading this)
    i love the beach piece in acrylic

    to create the ambiance of a secret hideaway

    nice work!

    ReplyDelete
  25. I'm a big fan of Gray Leaf because it is delicate and soothing. The neutral colors would complement any room nicely. On the other hand, Pink Petals in Grey Sky is a bit more bold and would add some punch to my living room. =)

    ReplyDelete
  26. I quite like Texture!

    ReplyDelete
  27. I love Lion Sun! I'm a big fan of sunflowers, and now a big fan of Erica's - her art is lovely!

  44. Ooo, botanical art, right up my alley!

    I especially like the brightly colored "Closed Tulips" and "Sunny Daisy" But of course I would have to commission something that's totally me. Maybe a dogwood flower, or a green bean vine with purple flowers.

    ReplyDelete
  45. Tough choice, they're all gorgeous! I think my favorite might be Petals in Grey Sky.

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  67. Erica's work is beautiful. My favorite piece is "grey leaf". Her coastal commissions are beautiful as well! I became a fan on her page! Thanks for introducing me to this new artist.

    ReplyDelete
  78. Calla lilies are my favorite flowers and my boyfriend is pretty good about buying me them from time to time, but I would love to win the Green Callas acrylic painting for when I don't have fresh flowers on hand. Fingers crossed!

  95. I really love Petals in Gray Sky. But if I were lucky enough to be able to commission a piece, I would have to ask for a dark red poppie.

    ReplyDelete
  96. i love the florals, generally, and have warm fuzzy feelings for beach 2 -- it reminds me of path from a beach house that my extended family used to rent in NC.
