Free Meaningful Art! Your Architectural Portraits Giveaway

11 April 2010

This Giveaway Is Closed!

Some of you may have seen the giveaway we did in January of a personalized architectural sketch from Your Architectural Portraits, the place to get custom sketches of your home, favorite place, place of worship, where you got married or vacation spot,  pretty much what ever architectural image you love.


 For those of you who didn't check it out here.  The winner, Rachel got this sketch of the cathedral she was married in, and I am telling you this place is stunning, we were so excited for her.  

 Please, if you like this at all go check out Your Architectural Portraits

We were thinking it was about time to giveaway another
free 8 x 10 Architectural Portrait to one lucky reader.

Here are some of the examples of quick sketches he has done.

The Daniels and Fisher Tower, Denver CO   --   Tarrant County Courthouse, Fort Worth, TX

Love Joy Plaza, Portland OR
Burnett Plaza, Fort Worth, TX       --       Church Tower, Taxco, Mexico,
The Alamo, San Antonio, TX        --      Streetscape, Taxco, Mexico
LDS Temple Spires, Washington DC
San Jose Mission Tower, San Antonio, TX
 


A few of you may have noticed Your Arcitectural Portraits (aka my husband's) art in these past posts pictures on our living room walls, sketches during vacation and some of our Halloween Decor.

I love them. And I am really excited about sharing with you.  Here is an example of our first home together. We have this up in our front room.   We have a lot of fond memories of this house, and having this sketch is a sweet way to remember where we have been.

A few more examples:


This hardly even scratches the surface of what he can do. 
Now it is your turn to win?

Oh I love this but I don't love being the first to comment. No. 1 never wins. I've been a follower, I have had you on blogroll and I have your button on my blog. I visited http://www.yourarchitecturalportraits.com/2009/12/about.html and will probably purchase something even if I don't win. I would love to have my house on some notecards to use. Thanks for the opportunity!

These are absolutely great! My parents just recently bought a new house (all of us (kids) have moved out and it's time for them to downsize). They lived in their home for YEARS! My step-mom was telling me how sad she will be having Christmas at a new place because of all the great memories we have in our old home. I know that this move will be hard for her, but a drawing of our home would be a great way to capture all of our wonderful memories.
