Hello everyone. I am so pleased to have had the opportunity to share my art with so many this year. The commissions, the exhibitions, the plein air competitions, the gallery shows, the fundraisers and the gifts... Each and every moment of creativity has been a pleasure to embrace experience and conclude. As a show of my gratitude and appreciation I am going to be giving away some paintings!

The only and easy catch- LIKES to my "Kirk Larsen Art " page

In cleaning up and organizing my works and frames to make room for a Christmas tree, I was looking at some current works, some older works, some practice pieces of local vistas and some pieces that are brilliant in their own right though not currently being shown. I was inspired.

I am often asked to keep  admirers advised about exhibitions & events. If they've signed up for my email newsletter on my website, or LIKED Kirk Larsen Art on facebook, they find out easily enough. Kirk Larsen Art is the easiest place to do that. I can post more art than will be shown on the website including special projects.

As an expression of my gratitude and a vehicle to share my art with even more people I have come up with a challenge:

My page  Kirk Larsen art . I have a personal page with a reported 1689 "friends". Of the 1689 only 493 of my friends have liked my page. . (I understand that not every chooses to participate in facebook and I cannot blame anyone for that choice) . However that implies that 1100+ friends have not yet liked my page, then say they've not seen the new art, or the one they wanted was sold before they saw it.

To get that number up, I am going to give away 5 paintings if I get 1000 likes by 11:59 P.M. Dec. 31, 2014.

That means 154 more likes by New year's eve this year (as of 3:30 PM 12/29/14.)

If you are a friend that has not yet LIKED my page I'd like to invite you to. If you have I suggest you share the page widely and invite friends to like the page.  If the number does not reach 1000... the art will go back into inventory or donated to local fundraising events.

You could win a painting - so do your best to get others to like the page

If 1000 is reached by December 30 11:59 pm I'll up the giveaway to 10 paintings. Yes 10 paintings.

If 1000 is reached by 12/29/14 11:59 P.M. I'll make it 10 PLUS add another winner for each additional 100 by end of 2014.

The giveaway will be randomly drawn from all likers from earliest to latest. If you and your fellow art lover's can get it to hit 1000 before the 31st and it goes to 10 paintings  I'll make the last 3 pieces a sub-contest The best 1 sentence reason why you should get a painting will win.  That's if it goes to 10.

Winners will be announced on the page. I'll select the artworks and offer first choice to the winners in descending order.

So I'll wrap this up now with a bit of late year good news. Just before Christmas I received word that my painting

"Grappler's of reliable recycling" is a finalist in the Raymar Art annual competition.

Thanks to Judge Thomas J. Kitts for his inspired, verbose critique accompanying the selection.

I wish everyone a happy healthy and prosperous New Year. Be safe, stay warm, love one another and be abundant. -Sincerely-Kirk Larsen
