I'd like to let you know about my painting giveaway. I'll be doing something a little different in addition to my regular blog posts in the coming weeks, just for fun. Sometime during the month of March I will be giving away a free painting. Please visit my Painting a Day blog everyday to see when I do the giveaway and then email me within 48 hours for a chance to win. More details will be given on the giveaway day! You can also subscribe to my blog at the button on my site. This will get you my new posts by email in your Inbox.

"Shelter" Oil
(c)2005 Diana Moses Botkin

This painting is not the giveaway, but it is one of my favorites. Reproductions are available at my LifeImages online gallery at THIS LINK.

The models for this piece are friends who commissioned this intimate portrait. I felt privileged to be asked to paint this special image for them. It expresses the joy of family and the anticipation of the new life they were given to care for, as a gift from a loving Heavenly Father.

If you'd like to forward this email to friends who might like to know about it, please do. The more the merrier!
