Portrait Review and Giveaway!

 12 September 2011

Alisha Vernon has been creating since the age of 4, when her Dad introduced her to painting. Since then her talents have evolved and today she specializes in abstract art and portraits. After one look around Alisha's Etsy store you will see first hand her love for bold colors and the life that she brings to her Pop Art Portraits.

Needless to say I was thrilled when Alisha contacted me about reviewing one of her portraits! I adore taking pictures of Autumn and show casing them around our house, so the thought of having an original painting created from one of these pictures was impossible to pass up!

The process of having a Pop Art Portrait created by Alisha is easy-peasy! Simply email the picture that you have chosen to Alisha and let her work her magic! The colors that Alisha uses to create your portrait may be chosen by you, or as in my case, you can allow Alisha to choose what colors she thinks would look best with the photograph you have selected. All paintings are 8 x 10, and include a black matting, making them perfect for an 11 x 14 frame! Within four business days of Alisha receiving your photo, this unique piece of art will be shipped to you, ready to be displayed in your home! Please visit Alisha's Etsy store for full details and to check out all of the other amazing paintings she has created!

This is the photo I emailed to Alisha:




And this the beautiful portrait that arrived on my doorstep:




I was thrilled when I opened the package and pulled out this painted image of Autumn! Alisha captured everything that I love about this picture of Autumn in her painting. The portrait is sturdy and the orange, yellow and white colors that Alisha chose are bold and bright! I now proudly display this painting on a shelf in Autumn's room (until I can find the perfect frame!) I love that Autumn says "Ohhhh" everytime she sees it!




Alisha has graciously offered one of these custom Pop Art Portraits free to one lucky winner! Just fill out the Rafflecopter entries below! Good Luck!
