    1. I am in love with all things painted from you. Thank you. You are so gracious to help us amateur artists. Would love to win the arteza’s canvas. It may just encourage to branch out and paint a larger painting than 5 X 7. Thanks so much.

Thabk you so much for your excellent videos. Your personality is amazing and you are inspiring. I love your daughters and I am a twin as well. I also have a slight issue with holding on to my precious supplies. But every now and then I do a huge purge….so I can buy more things. My specialty is beading and you inspired me to sell me work on Etsy. Well thats all for now. Can’t wait to watch more of your videos!

I will be picking those up for sure 🙂 I currently have one stretched canvas dedicated to acrylic painting that gets painted over and over again as I learn. I think it has 10 layers on it now. However, I recently got hooked on videos of paint pouring and haven’t brought myself to try it yet because I know it will be an investment in canvases. Winning would give me the freedom to try that out.

  390. So many comments, just wanted to share this with you – “Folks also like to think of cactus as warm-weather plants but they are native to 46 of the 50 states. Cactus are not native to Hawaii, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine. Yes, cactus are native to Alaska.” It was in an article I was reading this morning.

I sure hope that this email it not a scam but am afraid to get excited as I have not ever won anything in all my 75 years. Will keep my fingers crossed until I hear back from you.

    1. that was me, oh no, did I comment on the wrong person? I emailed the actual winners. I will check on that:) No scam, that is why I pick winners here and not on youtube as I can see the email address in the back end of my website and there were so many comments when I went back I must have mistakenly replied to the wrong Jane. I sent an email to each winner asking them to reply all to the email so my contact at arteza would get the info. Was that the email you got?
