ReplyDeleteMy fav artist, since childhood, has been Monet. I WISH I could capture a scene like that...
But NOW I would say one of my fav artists is photographer Tara Whitney. Love her work.
This is probably the best giveaway I've seen all year!! I have so many favorite artists, but if I had to narrow it down to just two ( I can't just pick one, ha) I would have to say Elsie and Kurt Halsey. I love both their work and find them so inspiring!

ReplyDeleteMy favorite artist is Elsie!! She inspires me so much!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite artist is Elsie, she inspires me so much!!

ReplyDeleteWow! Girls, you've outdone yourselves! What an awesome giveaway!!!!Of course, like the masses, my favorite is Elsie. She just totally inspires me and awoke the creative side of me like never before for which I'm forever grateful to her. Her style, her work ethic and her amazing mind continually blow me away.

Would Chuck Close as a favorite artist get me the Ticondaroga pencil's?????
ReplyDeleteLove Mom
Wow, that is an amazing give-a-way! :-) My favorite artists are Emily Martin/The Black Apple, Elsie and Kurt Halsey because their art came into my life when I really needed it. Lisa Rinnevuo is a swedish artist I like. And among the classical ones i like Alfons Mucha, Modigliani and Seurat. I like colors! :-) Ok, this was more names than you asked for. But it was fun answering, because I had completely forgotten about the all the classical ones. :-)
ReplyDeletethis is a toughy that i have been thinking about for a couple of days now...hmm. Favorite artist would have to be of course Miss Elsie, followed by Mark Seliger. He is a photographer that shot for Rolling Stone Magazine. His creativity is amazing!

Oh and pick me :) cause i would love you forever.
Fave by far would definitely be Elsie... and then a lovely girl I know who did some beautiful paintings for me named Molly Swanson (formerly Row)! Love contests!
ReplyDeleteWow thats so so fun!!!
ReplyDeleteI LOVVVE Alica Paulson's work. :)
Hi! I just found your blog through Janel's... the background on my Mac is one of Elsie's paintings so she's for sure in my Top Three favorite artists. I also admire my mom's work, it seems to be a bit busier and more vintage than Elsie's. The medium she uses baffles me (www.thecharmhouse.com). And who doesn't love the rebellious stencilists/spray painter that roams the streets of Britain, decorating the streets with the most powerful and thought-provoking graffiti, Banksy? They're all three very different artists but I find inspiration and beauty in all of their work.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to following your blog! Yay for contests!!
yay! how fun is this?!?!
ReplyDeleteok seriously... elsie flannigan is my fave. for 2 reasons - the super obvious... her work is amazing! i'm sooo getting it tattoo'd on my body! and the second reason... i wasn't super interested in any artform growing up - besides crayons - but when my friend showed me elsie's first scrapbook... it hit me like a ton of bricks! i'm in love with scrap, art of all kinds and crafting! and because of her i have met the most amazing women including herself!! THANKS ELSIE!!! XOXOXOXOXOxo!
