It's time....

to announce my contest!!!!

Okay - so the anticipation has built, so this is sure to disappoint.  The contest is simply this:

Submit ideas for a new theme - the submissions will end on Tuesday, September 2, 2008 at 8 am est.  

Submit as many as you want - the winner will receive the winning theme in a 5 x 5 canvas with their child, niece, nephew, whomevers (is that a word?) - initial.  I will say that I am looking for both boy and girl, and if I get enough interesting ideas I may even do two winning entries.  So now is the time, if you have wanted to see what I do, but not sure if it's worth the money, to check me out.  I will even take photographs of bedding, toys, anything that you think would be cool in a painting.  Of course being the negotiating type of gal, if you have the winning theme, but don't just want to do a 5 x 5, we can create a "store credit" towards a bigger painting or multiple tiles. So is all this clear as mud?  Please don't hesitate to ask questions, you can reach me at ann@pennypickles.net.  

So submit your ideas as a post comment or an email directly to me.  I will say the only theme I will NOT do is clowns*, sorry, I can't, I don't like them, they freak me out and I think they are scary painted people, so if you have your heart set on clowns you will need to find another painter to fulfill that dream.  I do have principles.....

*(sorry to all the professional clowns out there,  I am sure you are all very nice people, I just don't dig clowns)

No clowns! Not even in vegetable form!

Thanks!
