Hi Kailani-
I was first exposed to this artist during another giveaway. My favorite at that time was “Always Giving” and it still is. I am already subscribed to your feed. I don’t know if that counts or if you are just including new subscribers.
Thanks for doing this giveaway!

I just visited the site and saw so many fantastic paintings, all which deserve a reward for beauty and delightfulness. But I picked one out because it reminded me of my 4 year granddaughter. It is called Running Wild In Pink. Pink is her favorite color, she’s all a little pink adoreable girl. The horses running wild reminded me of her and my other grandchildren running free outside in the fresh Spring air (by the way,the rest of my grandkids are boys). But Kayleen does love Pink and she likes horses, all kinds of animals. Thank you so much for the chance to enter this contest to try and win that painting. God Bless. Diane Meyer Love is THE word for all of us.
