Recently I received an email from my cousin Jenny (thanks Jenny) informing me of an art contest Kirklands is hosting. You submit a digital photograph of any medium of art you have created. Winning the contest not only gets you a grand prize of $5000, but also offers you the opportunity to have your art reproduced for sale in their stores. So why not give it a shot? What’s it going to hurt? All entries are due by October 1st, so now I am asking you to vote on a favorite art piece. Below are two paintings that I feel might be different enough to catch an eye, so place your vote in the comments area. Which do you choose A or B?
A. 
B.

Hey laura,
I think my vote is for A. I like it for the size (more rectangle) and I think it’s more interesting.
Good luck! I sure hope you win. That would be exciting to have your picture for sale at Kirklands.
Good luck!
Love you and will see you in less than 2 weeks!
A. Love it!
I left a comment and I guess it disappeared. I’ll try again. I think I like A because I think it’s more interesting, I like the colors, and I like the rectangular shape better for some reason.
I was just looking at your flickr art and I LOVE the Carleigh picture with the Bible verse under it.
It’s less than 2 weeks now! I can’t wait!
Love you
Like B the best, simple but stunning, good luck!
There two are my favorite!!!
I like A best. I think it’s the blue background with it all! Love you, Jen
I vote for B. All of your work is beautiful though!!
I LOVE B – but A is GREAT too! So either would be great choices, both very visually interesting & cheery. And OMG I LOVE how your “Carleigh” turned out – Sarah gotten it yet?
I like A. I don’t know why – just going with the gut reaction. K
Laura, they are both great, but I vote for B because it’s not quite as busy, A is more simple, like me.
This was too hard a decision! Love you.
I like B. Simple
I really like them both, great colors and great energy! I pick “B”. Good Luck!
This was tough…but I’m going with B. Both are awesome!
i love both! eeney, meeny, miney,… A!
Definitely A.
A! I say A. It has a uniqueness.
(A)Both are beautiful. I like the blue background in (A) though.
I like A, but you really can’t go wrong with either one.
hey so i just asked my friend richard and he likes A too.
A from Me. Love you!
My vote…A
I’m going to go aginst the grain and say B. I like the simplicity of it.
I’m going with A although I love them both…
I have a toy room calling your name!!! 🙂
A. Definitely A.
Great job, Laura! I vote A.
I love both. It is a very hard choice. I am leaning toward A b/c there are more colors to work with as far as decorating goes. WHen I look at buying a painting, I want a painting with lots of colors b/c I change the colors in my house often.
But Laura, you can’t go wrong. both painting are great!!!
Hey,so my friend david likes the second one
A. Rocks!
I vote for B. Good Luck!! YOu have great work.
A. It grabs you and keeps you looking at the details!
I vote for A. Love your stuff!!
They are both awesome, but I think my vote is A!
I’m a fan of A.
my vote is for B!!
I really like A.
Bill Brasky says painting A, definitely A! You don’t want to disagree with Bill, just ask Angela Landsbury!
A – both are great pieces, but seems like A will reach a larger demographic if selling at Kirklands (more colors if someone is trying to match a piece to a particular space). I actually think your floral pieces (in your Sept 9th) post would appeal to a larger audience in a Kirklands-type retail oulet.
(I personally love your Sept 6th post paintings…you should try to contract with baby/toddler boutique stores, these pictures would be perfect for those decorating a new nursery.)
