*PLEASE* leave me some contact info on your comment! :)
Happy Holidays to all views of my blog! As a gift to all my blog friends I'm going to give this little 5x7 painting to one of you! All you need to do is to tell me you want it, by making a comment on this post by Tuesday, December 8th! In his last years my dad always had a supply of these wonderful mints in the car, near his chair, everywhere he might be. I enjoyed painting the shapes, and especially the cellophane wrappers!
If you are not familiar with making 'comments: look on the blog (if you get this in an email form, look at the bottom of the email. It should say "Posted by Kelley MacDonald on Kelley MacDonald's Daily Paintings..." Click on the BLUE words (it's a link to my blog) then look below today's post - you'll see the words "2 Comments" (or 5 comments, or SOME number of comments), and click on THAT. It will open up a little window with comments made by others, and a box for you to type your comment in. Then if you have a google account, check off that dot, if not, you can click on "Name... URL" and type your name and blogsite, or email I believe. If nothing works include your email at the end of your 'Comment' so I can contact you!
Good luck everyone, and thank you for supporting me with your kind comments all through the year!
Maybe you missed the two exhortations to PLEASE leave me some sort of contact info (i.e. just your name won't get me in touch with you, and there are a LOT of people named 'Chris' out there!). Thank YOU! If I'm sounding desperate, I am... I have about a dozen people I couldn't contact if I wanted to who left comments!
I want it. And Merry Christmas to you!
ReplyDeleteOK, OK, I REALLY want it. :) How cute! You are so special. Merry Christmas.

Yep, I want it too! Great composition, as always. Nicely done, Kelly.
ReplyDeleteNo Chris and C.J. ...... I want the *Spearmints*! Lovely piece Kelley and what a nice giveaway!!
ReplyDeleteI admire all your paintings Kelley. My dad was a lover of peppermint canes, the bigger the better. I always tried to find one bigger than the ubiquitous tiny canes each Christmas for him. Happy Holidays!
ReplyDeleteGreat composition. Great job on the wrappers. Add me to your list of wanters.
ReplyDeleteKelley, nice job. I can taste the mint! And, I'd be honored to own the painting.
ReplyDeletebeautiful! congrats on a terrific year - thanks for sharing-
ReplyDeleteI want it! Adorable!
ReplyDeleteI can smell the spearmint, as real as an icy winter day.
ReplyDeleteI left the house the other day with spearmint Life Savers in my jacket pocket, and realized I had reached another marker in my journey to Old Lady - the other pocket had tissues, I am sure.
Lovely, as always. And it is my birthday week........Enjoy the holidays, VFV
No I want it! That snow is so cool. We are going to have snow in Santa Fe tonight! This is really getting me into the Xmas spirit. Your painting makes it even more real. I just love those mints!
ReplyDeleteNoNo No --I--want it!
ReplyDeletePick me! Pick me!!
ReplyDeleteKelley-
ReplyDeleteI love it! I want it! (But I guess I'm too late).
Cheers,
Christine
So what is it about these mints and people the ages of our parents? My parents NEVER seem to travel without them (and bought a supply when they reached my house) and my in-laws were always well stocked too! I had to laugh when I saw this painting...it really hit home! Yeah, I'd like it!
ReplyDeleteOh I love this painting, count me in!
ReplyDeletePlease add my name to the growing list of those who would love to have the Spearments. It's lovely and would look adorable in my house! You do good work, Kelley!
ReplyDeleteas always i enjoy your posts. Happy Holidays to you.

Hi Kelley!
ReplyDeleteYes - it would be nice to have one of your paintings... I've always enjoyed the "dialog" you have with "us" "out there". Someday, I swear, Artists will find a way to have a "webinar" or such, with others to paint with others from afar.
I've always envied the art groups you and others have been able to develop. I'm more aware of groups outside my area, than in my own ( from being "on line".)
I enjoy your comments, as well as your paintings.
Tres
Like everyone else I want it too!"
ReplyDeleteHope you're having a wonderful holiday season!!!
All the best!
Kelley..You DO seem to have more fun with your art/life than most people..your work is so diverse and makes me feel so good looking at your paintings...and 2 blogs!!!...Count me in on wanting that sweet painting

Kelley did you know mint if good for ulcers? Oh by the way I have one, maybe this painting would cure my tummy! hmmm.......
ReplyDeleteHello Kelley! What beautiful eye candy ;) Sorry...couldn't resist. Love your brushwork.
ReplyDeleteKelley:
ReplyDeleteI love your work and am thrilled to have adopted the teacup and the jar of hydrangeas at the North River Arts Holiday sale. They have a special place in my study and it would be pretty wonderful to have these lovely mints to go with them!! The associations are totally warm and minty! Thanks a ton for offering this sweet treat!
Cynthia
I can actually hear the crackle of that spearmint candy wrapper..and the green in the stripes is so spot "on" i can taste them! Bravo
