Shari from Simply Shari
has asked me to host a GIVEAWAY!!!
So who is Shari?
First and foremost she is my Mom!
However, she is also an AMAZING artist.
Growing up, I remember my mom always had a painting sitting on her easel. Some of them only took her a short time to complete while others would sit there for what seemed like forever. (of course I was little and anything longer than 2 days was forever) She would stare at them often. Just letting them sit there, unfinished, not knowing what step needed to be taken next. Then all of a sudden a light bulb would go on. She would gather up her brushes and paints, then start painting away until it was finished.
Some of these paintings would hang on our walls, others would be put away in storage. Everyone always told her she needed to start selling them but she never did.
UNTIL NOW THAT IS!!
She just opened an etsy shop and has a ton of beautiful paintings up for sale.
This one is one of my favorites.
The original painting has been sold but she is selling a copy in her shop.
