The winner of this week’s giveaway can literally make that request. Because Swedish-born Virginia-based artist Erica Eriksdotter is giving away a commissioned painting worth up to $350.

- TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “PAINT ME A PICTURE!” and…
- BONUS QUESTION: …tell us about your favorite piece of one-of-a-kind artwork that you currently own. Maybe it’s a finger painting done by a kid in your life? Something you got on etsy? Or a drawing that you sketched yourself to fill some blank space?

“PAINT ME A PICTURE!”
I won at a nonprofit auction this beautiful painting of a small village in Peru that was colored with vegetable dyes and the artist was from that village. The cost of the painting went to two great issues (the local watershed and the artist’s village).

I found a set of canvas prints, each with a different letter that spell out LOVE in sepia and rust colors. We then printed out some of our engagement pictures in sepia and placed them inbetween the letters. They are the first thing you see when you walk into our apartment.
