...because home doesn't happen overnight.

*THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED.*

Congrats to Emily who wants to use the featured painting below in her mom’s bedroom.

Our walls are bare. Naked. Empty. Boring. Eventually, I’ll get around to hanging stuff. I already have big plans {if only in my head} for a wall display near the front door to create an entryway of sorts. Until then, I’ll continue unpacking in between organizing, re-organizing and looking after the kids. I’m about halfway through the boxes in the garage. Ugh.

For those of you in a better place domestically, Tenth Floor Decor is graciously sponsoring this week’s giveaway. The founder of Tenth Floor Decor, Ross, created the small business after visiting an art gallery in Soho where he found pieces that he loved but could not afford. Tenth Floor Decor offers original, high quality oil paintings at a price point that’s more feasible to the everyday homeowner. See a few of my favorites here.

Are your bare walls crying for some art? Namely, a FREE original oil painting? See details on how to win one below.

PRIZE: any Tenth Floor Decor painting of your choice {retail value of $90-$300}

RULES: You must be at least 18 years old and have a shipping address {no P.O. boxes please} within the U.S to enter. One entry per email address.

HOW TO ENTER: Leave a comment on this post proclaiming “I HEART ART!”

DEADLINE: Enter before Thursday, June 21st at 9:00 p.m. EST. One random winner will be announced Friday, June 22nd.

WHILE YOU’RE AT IT: Share your favorite artist and why you are drawn to his/her work. I’ll go first. Ever since her studio tour was featured on Apartment Therapy, I can’t get Robin Luciano Beaty out of my mind. Her encaustic paintings feel like living, breathing, moving pieces of art. And her DIY’d artist barn isn’t too shabby either.

I HEART ART! I don’t know that I have a favorite artist, I could never choose one but I am always drawn to art that reflects nature.

18.June.2012

Hmm, I feel like I have a new favorite Etsy artist each week. :) For “older” art, I have been in love with van Gogh ever since I visited the van Gogh museum in Amsterdam 10 years ago.

And I really don’t have a “favorite” artist. I like paintings and don’t care who makes it. That being said Picasso isn’t one of my favorites :P

I HEART ART!

My favorite artist is Katharine Montstream. She paints watercolors, oils and even charcoal drawings. I love the vibrant colors, how she captures nature, and how she can make me feel like I am there. Done of her winter paintings make me feel like I can hear and smell the snow. She lives in Vermont and is utterly amazing as an artist, mother and community member.

My favorite artist of all time ever is Dale Chihuly. I am more than obsessed with his glass art and it may be my ultimate lifetime goal to own a piece someday.

18.June.2012

I HEART ART!!

I used to work as an assistant director of an art gallery that represented James Gurney, the artist responsible for Dinotopia and featured in many National Geographic magazines with his historical paintings and I -absolutely- loved all of his work. He created incredible ethereal landscapes!!

18.June.2012

I HEART ART!

I love art that moves me. When I see an art piece that inspires my soul, I am drawn to it. Unfortunately, I don’t have a specific artist that I like. I go with how I feel when I look at art.

18.June.2012

18.June.2012

I HEART ART!
My favorite artist is my 3 year old daughter, hands down.

18.June.2012

I HEART ART! I don’t have a favorite artist.

18.June.2012

Hmmm…my favorite artist right now is probably me because I have DIYed pretty much everything hanging in my house. Usually I see something I like and then recreate it:)

18.June.2012

I HEART ART!!

My dad is my favorite artist, my living room is filled with his art, every time I look at them it makes me so proud.

I Heart Art!! My 5 year old daughter is my favorite artist. We have her stuff all over the walls! She literally makes something new every day :)

18.June.2012

I HEART ART! I have a LOT of bare walls!

18.June.2012

I HEART ART!

Our family has taken advantage of the poor housing market and bought a rather large house. Now we’re house poor, have little furniture, and about 6 things on our walls (with roughly 4000+sq ft of area.) I know I shouldn’t complain, we are very lucky. I’m trying to make things on my own, as I go, but A)I need some inspiration, and B) I need some talent and C) I don’t have much time or energy after I get home from work and spend time with our son. PLEASE choose me! LOL

18.June.2012

I Heart Art!

I can’t settle on a favorite artist… why settle on one when creativity is limitless?!

18.June.2012

I heart art! I am no expert but I find myself enjoying simple designs. With a new apartment to decorate, I would love to win some wall art. My uncle, an artist, would have to be my favorite!

18.June.2012

I HEART ART!

I like art that speaks of happy, simple times, since so often life seems anything but simple (and therefore not too happy, either). Presently, the only artist that comes to mind would be my old standby, Johannes Vermeer. He’s one of those famous masterpiece-rich artists from the Dutch Golden Age. He painted everyday scenes from Dutch life in the 17th century…simple times. In our new house, however, I think Vermeer masterpieces would be a touch too formal. Tenth Floor Decor looks much more appropriate for our bare, but casual, walls!

18.June.2012

I HEART ART!

My favorite artists are my children. They never cease to amaze me with their creativity!

18.June.2012

I heart art! I don’t really have a fave.

18.June.2012

I HEART ART! My kids are my favorite artists.

18.June.2012

I HEART ART!
My sister is an amazing and awarded sculptor and three of my best friends are painters so I feel very blessed to be surrounded by art and inspiration on daily basis!

18.June.2012

I heart art! No favorite artist.

18.June.2012

I heart art! I love Dali and his whimsical style.

“I HEART ART!”

My favorite artist would be two fold—my parents! I grew up traveling the California coast with them as they sold their paintings. To be so brave as to raise three children while pursuing their passion (as their sole income!) gives me daily inspiration to pursue my dreams.

18.June.2012

I HEART ART! I’d say Picasso or Dali. What can I say? I love those crazy Spanish artists. :)

18.June.2012

I HEART ART!

My favorite artist is my 7 year old, he actually has great talent naturally.

18.June.2012

I heart art! I’m an impressionist lover, Monet all the way!

18.June.2012

I Heart Art!

I would say my have is a toss up between Ansel Adams (not a painter, but an artist none-the-less) and Monet. I would live in a Monet if that were possible.

18.June.2012

I heart art!
Anyone who paints scenes of beautiful Lake Michigsn!

18.June.2012

I HEART ART!

The one prized piece of art that I own is by Emily Hyde, an amazing, emerging artist here in Portland, OR. Best investment I’ve made! I love looking at it. So, I name her as my favorite.

18.June.2012

I HEART ART! I don’t know that I have a favorite, but I always have a strong reaction to art. Would love to find something perfect for our home!

18.June.2012

i heart art! I enjoy all forms of art.

18.June.2012

I HEART ART!

I have sort of eclectic taste in art and my two favorite artists couldn’t be more different:

LAURENCE AMELIE (http://laurence-amelie.com/franglais.html) does the most sensational and vibrant abstracts of tutus and flowers. Her use of pastels is so fresh and feminine. I’ve been a fan ever since seeing her featured on Rachel Ashwell’s blog (http://rachelashwellshabbychic.blogspot.com/).

JUSTIN HILLGROVE (http://www.impsandmonsters.com/) does fantastically detailed pop culture paintings in a style that is all his own. I have several of his prints and splurged on an original watercolor of his at the Seattle Urban Craft Uprising last year. His work shows a great sense of humor.

18.June.2012

I heart art! I don’t really have a favorite artist.. just choose paintings I love.

18.June.2012

I heart art! I love Caitlin Connolly (http://www.hueandhum.com/) and her artwork!

18.June.2012

I HEART ART!
Like many other readers, I don’t have a favorite artist. I gravitate to paintings of nature – like the one featured on your blog post above. That would look AWESOME on the very large and naked wall in my living room!

18.June.2012

I HEART ART! Right now, my favorite artist is my 3 year old daughter. I love hanging her creations in the home.

18.June.2012

18.June.2012

My fave artist is my beyonce (hybrid of terms “boyfriend” and “fiancee” (super long story)). He has a great eye for photography and I wish he would take more photos :)

18.June.2012

I heart art! My favorite artist is kandisky, but lately have been loving van gogh.

18.June.2012

“I HEART ART!” I love Alphonse Mucha, such an amazing artist.

18.June.2012

I HEART ART! I don’t have a favorite artist, but I can’t stop thinking about the hand-painted walls by Ava Roth featured on Design Sponge. Amazing.
http://www.designsponge.com/2012/04/hand-painted-walls.html

18.June.2012

I HEART ART! My mom is my favorite artist. She is seriously amazing especially at portraiture.

18.June.2012

I HEART ART!
I can’t really specify a favorite; I’m as much in awe of the Masters and museum pieces as I am by astounding work I’ve found at art street fairs, more recently, in Dallas, Austin, TX; Valparaiso, Chile; Buenos Aires, Argentina, and Ann Arbor, MI. There is so much talent out in this world, I wish it was easier for artists to make a living doing what they love!

18.June.2012

I HEART ART! I don’t actually have a fave artist, but my fave kind of art is something that holds sentimental meaning. My Hubby and I have decided that one of a kind art is the best souvenir to bring back from a trip- you end up with a great collection and the memories attached.

18.June.2012

I HEART ART!
I don’t have a favorite artist. I just buy things that make me smile.

18.June.2012

I don’t have a favorite artist, I’ve never had a very good eye for art. It’s something I’d like to work on, though.

18.June.2012

I HEART ART! I have too many favorites to pick just one! Instead, I’ll name someone at random whose quirky work I always enjoy: Jason Polan. His outlook and sense of humor are tremendous. How can you not like an artist who is currently trying to draw every person in New York?

18.June.2012

I HEART ART! I like lots of different artists, but I particularly like Claude Monet. I find myself looking at his work and reminiscing about leisurely spent afternoons. I also find it easy to coordinate furniture and other accessories around his art.

No favorites, just pick what I like.

18.June.2012

I HEART ART! I like Jack Vettriano — love the scences with the couples.

18.June.2012

I HEART ART! I have always loved Georgia O’Keefe ever since I was in elementary school – going into my 30s the love has kept going strong – although I have shifted more from her flowers to her Southwest desertscapes over the years. It’s all such bold and beautiful work!

18.June.2012

I HEART ART! I don’t have a favorite artist. I think every piece has it’s own story.

18.June.2012

“I HEART ART!”

No artist, but my best friend is amazing at graphic designs! :D

18.June.2012

I HEART ART! I like Van Gogh. I especially like his floral paintings. I love how they are so flowy (I know, not a word) and swirly. I think everyone should look at life this way sometimes.

18.June.2012

I HEART ART! Even though my husband and I have no clue what kind of art we heart we’re honing our tastes slowly but surely.

18.June.2012

18.June.2012

I HEART ART!

I don’t know too many artists’ names besides the classics, I just see something and I’m drawn to it or not.

I am a fan of Salvador Dali (although some of his stuff scares me a little) for his dreamlike concepts and the hidden pictures within the art. I also love Brian Froud (the concept artist behind Jim Henson’s The Dark Crystal and Labyrinth) for his whimsical and beautiful fairy/fantasy designs.

18.June.2012

I heart art!!!

18.June.2012

I HEART ART!

I’m not sure I have a favorite artist. Most things hanging on our walls are photographs or things I’ve painted myself. I appreciate abstract art or the pureness of photography the most!

18.June.2012

I HEART ART!

As I was reading this I thought it said Nancy, a FREE original oil painting? Instead it says Namely. Our walls are bare bare bare. My fella and I have different tastes in many things, and art is one of them. One day we will have to tackle it. Maybe this will be the little push we need.

18.June.2012

I HEART ART! My favorite artist is my mother who I’ve inherited my love of painting from.

I HEART ART! Would be great to have something new and pretty.

19.June.2012

I Heart Art!!

I will forever be mesmerized by van Gogh. The deep saturation of color and individual brush strokes in his paintings draws me in and keeps me there.
As a very close second, I love my children’s art. I frame all of their art, their rooms look like art museums!

19.June.2012

I heart art!

No favorite artist, but I love student art sales!

19.June.2012

I HEART ART!
Love many different artists, but I’m horrible with names (name that tune? Will always lose). I live in Portland and we’re fortunate to have many local artists. I’m inspired less by names and more about the gut feeling when I see something.

19.June.2012

I Heart Art!

I enjoying finding artists on Etsy – recently ordered a painting by paintingwell

There's a local artist in our community who does "cap" art– he uses bottle caps to cover things, and he even drives around a cap-covered truck. I don't know that he's my favorite artist, but his art is certainly interesting and easy to spot!

19.June.2012

I HEART ART!

20.June.2012

I HEART ART!

My favorite artist is anyone with something to say. To me art isn’t based on the medium, the style, or the price tag. Art can be anything made by anyone. One of my cats is known to make awesome collages with found objects around the house, so far my favorite involves a flip flop, yo yo, foam picture frame, one actual cat toy ball, and a few other objects she found, and artfully arranged in the middle of the hallway. So yes, I have plenty of floor “art” but I would love something lovely on the walls!

20.June.2012

I HEART ART!

Faves: my kids :)

20.June.2012

I heart art! Originals, my kids’, magazine photos. I run out of room to put it! There are so many choices, and so much of it makes me happy.

20.June.2012

20.June.2012

I HEART ART!

We’ve just moved into a new home this week, so I’m in the same boat…unpacking and deciding how to organize everything, while at the same time thinking about hundreds of decorating ideas swirling around in my head.

I don’t really have a favorite artist — I like a wide variety and it usually ends up being whatever catches my fancy at the time I’m looking. Although, I visited Robin’s site and you are right: WOW! Beautiful.

20.June.2012

I HEART ART!

And need it – my walls are bare and a pale, faded yellow color just screaming to be painted (my partner thinks I’m obsessive – bah! how am I supposed to live like that? lol. I have always liked Matisse – the vibrant colors I think. But I dont really know much about art… so picking a fav is hard.

20.June.2012

I HEART ART!
hmmm…not sure if i have a fave artist, probably because i haven’t spent enough time enjoying all the art out there. i’m sure my kiddos will one day top my list though. :)
