Art posts and giveaway results coming!
I have some new drawings to post, but our scanner has still not arrived from our move back from Penang. As soon as I get the scanner I'll start posting those drawings and paintings again. In the meantime I have some more photos to post. Unfortunately I'm having problems with the focus on my camera. My son has pulled it onto the floor too many times. I think it's time to take it in for repair. Sigh. Please excuse the softness of the photos!
Regarding the giveaway ending on Friday. I will let the submissions continue until midnight Friday. And that's wherever you are. If you are in Hawaii and it's still Friday, then you still have time to submit! I will announce the winners on Saturday.
Again, to enter, send your photo or a link to your photo to artbyelisabeth@gmail.com.
Also, I'm responding to each and every submission. If you haven't heard from me, I haven't received it. Submissions I've received so far are from: Katrin, Jake, Jacira, Gladys, Sara, Jess, Rose, Teddi, Patrick. If you don't see your name there, submit again! And remember, you can enter as many photos as you like!

About the Giveaway
Hello everyone!
I wasn't explicit about a couple of things in the custom portrait giveaway. First, you can submit as many photos as you like. I will select those I think work best, and then randomly choose 5 winners from those photos. That could mean someone could end up lucky enough to win multiple portraits, who knows! Second, you will hear back from me when I receive your submission. If you haven't heard from me, I didn't receive it; please try again.
Please help me spread the word about the giveaway. Tell others who might be interested so they can have a chance to win too.
Also, again, if you like my work, please visit my Flickr and Facebook pages. Be a fan of my work on Facebook! I'd sincerely appreciate it.
Thanks and love to all!

Free Art!! (and other news)
Ok, so I'm feeling a resurgence of inspiration and urgency to restart my art. I think I'm going to start offering custom art pieces for sale here, and to get me going with that I've decided to offer five lucky people free portraits drawn from their photographs. So send in your photographs! It doesn't matter if I do or don't know you, if you're a stranger, commenter, lurker, family, friend, just send in your photo and I will choose five from the batch. The deadline to get those photos in is Friday, March 13th. This time Friday the 13th is a lucky day!
Notes about the photos you send:
Make sure you send something of reasonably good quality and clarity. My choices will be semi random, but will also be based on which of the photos I feel will be good candidates for drawing. Classic portraits are generally better if they have simple backgrounds and show mostly just the upper torso and face of the subject. Faces generally should be forward or on a 3/4 angle. Not that I won't accept photos that stray from this formula, but I am more likely to choose the classic shots.
Good luck!
Other news:
I now have a Flickr for all of my art work. So far it shows the exact same images that you can see here, but if you are more of a Flickr person, feel free to subscribe there instead. You will miss my discussion here, if I have any, or news bits like this, but you will have access to all of the images. I'm still deciding if I want to do something extra there that I don't do here. For now, one of the main benefits for checking out my Flickr is all of the sets I've created.
Let's say you're a really big fan of my drawings and paintings but are just not interested in my photography. Well, you can subscribe to just this set:
DRAWINGS AND PAINTINGS
Let's say you are only interested in my night photography:
NIGHT/LOW LIGHT PHOTOGRAPHY
You can check out all of my sets here and my photostream here.
