I’m so smitten with this precious watercolor painting of Miley and Howie.
I’ve been traveling a lot recently, and I’ve missed these faces.
You might have heard of the artist, Rachael Rossman, who specializes in portraits of people, cats, dogs, and horses. Her cute handwriting was also featured as a font last May during the Blogger Font Special Edition.

Oh what an amazing giveaway! I would love to win this and have a custom painting of my precious stepdaughter Addysen!
My dad recently took a picture of my husband, me, and our two dogs on the front porch. I would love to turn that photo into a watercolor to hang in my house.
My daughter would be the subject.
Awesome giveaway, Amanda!
I would love to win this. I’d have my two dogs, Stanley and Little Joe, as the subject if I won.
my yorkie would be the subject! :)
Your dogs are so cute!! I would have my daughter and our yellow lab Kona (best buddies)!
You know what? I do not know. My kids…my husband whom I rarely get to see. Our cute pup pup, Samuel. I guarantee you, I’ll find someone. Her art is faboo!
I have been looking for an artist to do our sweet little Kobe cat, who just passed away a few weeks ago. So her, for sure!
subject: me…& prague
xoxoxo
My subject would be my golden retriever, Sarah!
My dad was everything to me growing up. He taught me to be tough and to experience everything in the world. He taught me to travel and believe it our not.. I am in a creative field right now, and it is all because of what he taught me. I love my dad, but he passed away suddenly three years ago at the age of 59. I never had a chance to say good bye. The watercolor would honor my dad’s love for the arts..whether it be on paper or in music or any other way.. my dad was every bit of creativity. So, this would honor my father, P.K. I love you dad.
~wiping tears from my eyes~ so sweet…hope you win!
My furry baby Milo. He’s my 14 yr.old black pug that’s blind in one eye, deaf and has arthritis in his back legs but he’s continued to bring such joy into my life long after my five children have left the nest. He is truly deserving of such a
special portrait.
I would love to have a watercolor of my babies. I have a photo of them on my blog.
My mother and I. My mother died a little over 12 years ago. While she was sick, there was a photograph taken of her and I together when I was sitting on her bed and was talking to her. That photograph brings back a lot of happy memories even though she was so sick and every time I see it, I cry happy tears. I would love to be able to preserve this memory in a watercolor.
The person I miss acutely: my Papa, who gave me both roots and wings. we don’t have a lot of photos of him, so a portrait would be the perfect blessing. Thank you for the chance Amanda, Rachel is an amazing artist. :)
The subject of my portrait would be my family. My husband is in the military, currently serving his 5th combat-zone tour. He has missed a lot in our 5-year-old and 2-year-old’s lives. Having a portrait of all of us would be a very special “Welcome Home, Daddy” present for him!
Thank you for the chance for this gift!

She’s a good doggie, very devoted and territorial about her home and people……she deserves a nice present like this………….Please pick her (;
