10.06.10: Happy HeART Giveaway - Louise's Lovely Leaves!

Fall is such a magical time of year and this is exactly what inspired Louise Gale from “Dream, Inspire, Create” to create this gorgeous wood mounted print of “leaves.” This piece celebrates the season of renewal as the leaves start to fall from the trees – isn’t it lovely? The original artwork (originals sold) was created using an etching technique, hand colored and printed. Louise is thrilled to be able to re-create this image on a woodblock to show the beauty of this time of year. This piece is 6x6x1 inches, titled and signed on the back and is ready to hang – and it could be yours!

I’m so excited to be featuring Louise this week; she created the Creative Color Challenge, which I participated in this summer, and she’s a phenomenal artist-spirit! For more ways to Dream, Inspire and Create with Louise, you can follow her on her blog, Facebook page and Twitter.

And guess what!? For this week only, in honor of our Happy HeART Giveaway with Louise, she’s providing Choosing Beauty readers an exclusive offer in her Etsy store. If you purchase items worth $25 or more, you will also receive a free pack of 6 mixed design notecards (worth $10). Just enter “ichoosebeauty” in the note to seller. Thanks, Louise!
