J. Austin Ryan GIVEAWAY!
Happy Valentine's Day! We thought we would celebrate it right on Tangled and True. A day of love cannot be complete without expressing our love for creativity, color, and brilliant women with imagination and vision that in today's case, bring us happy art for babies and kids. And plenty of hearts. We're talking about Marnie Vollenhals and her most lovely of companies- J. Austin Ryan.
She's possibly best known for her cheerful Modern Hearts prints, 001 and 002 pictured above, {how appropriate} but we're here to tell you that her collection has grown considerably lately and we couldn't be more thrilled. Thrilled because I want to be the type that brings an eclectic mix of amazing art to my home and Marnie's paintings are 100% fresh and new. I'm sure you'll agree.
"Marnie creates her images with complete satisfaction.... All designs are hand-painted and done in small batches. With this in mind, quality products are used and nothing is sent out unless it is perfect. All of the art is sealed, signed by artist Marnie Vollenhals, and limited editions are numbered."They say it best: J. Austin Ryan creates art that will open your eyes. Images that will inspire and let you be imaginative. So, for today's inspiration: one 18x18 inch painting (1 1/2" depth) of the winner's choice (of the three listed below) is up for grabs. You could be the lucky winner of either...
alpha tree, $129
LOVE, $129
or
modern birds, $110
Whether decorating for a boy or girl, I love these options for introducing whimsy, enthusiasm, plenty of reds and pinks and lots of amour. And to help you jump start that collection, J. Austin Ryan is offering all Tangled and True readers 20% off through February 18th {Monday} with code: "JARLOVE20" {enter at checkout}. Lovely. {For easy access to shopping the online gallery, see J. Austin Ryan's ad in our left-hand sidebar.}

"Happy Valentine's Day! All of the prints that you are offering a choice of are wonderful. Then, I went crazy at the site. I used to have a pet red squirrel named "Squeakers" and so I choose the art print called "Woodlands: Roller Squirrels!" It brings back memories of her. She lived for 8 years! Please enter me in your drawing. Thanks,Cindi

I would love to win "love".
