Hi lovely people: I promised I would do another international giveaway this year, so here it is. This time I'm giving away, not a print, but an original painting. It's titled Raindrops & measures 40 cm x 40 centimeters. I worked with overlapping colours & even some shimmering silvers so to mimic raindrops catching multi-coloured lights on a cool day.
This giveaway IS NOW CLOSED.
Always SPECTACULAR!! This painting would light up the darkest day!!
ReplyDeleteOooooh how exciting!!! I love this painting!
ReplyDeleteAmazing!
ReplyDeleteLove the contrast of the gray rainy sky with the joyful bright colours of the earth soaking up the rain. Beautiful as always!!
ReplyDeleteI always love your paintings so much. This one is particularly close to home living in a climate that is so rainy! (love BC winters) Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThis would become a family heirloom! We would be honoured to carry it.
ReplyDeleteThis painting, like all of yours, is simply amazing and for some reasons makes me think of rainy days in Haifa. I don't really know why, except that I always felt that certain aspects of the city, just like the hill, were even more beautiful against the rainy sky.
ReplyDeleteDear Sahba,
ReplyDeleteYour paintings remind me of your mother's beautiful drawings on Vargha's children books. I can feel peace, simplicity, pure beauty, and love in all your paintings. I hope to see you in near future.
Your new friend Arezou

ReplyDeleteLove your work - every time you send out a new painting, I am wishing I had a job so I could buy it.
This painting reminds me of how much fun a rainy day can be, all you need is an umbrella. I love the contrasts of silver-gray rain and the explosion of bubble gum colors.

ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful painting. I am a long time admirer of your work from afar ever since one of my friends from the Holy Land showed me your website. I just wanted to extend my congratulations and admiration for your artistic vision that seemingly simple conveys such powerful remarks about beauty and love.
ReplyDeleteLove your work, but most of all this give away idea. Makes me feel like a child who believes anything is possible, even winning one of your painting which would cross the ocean to get to me in Paris! So even if my name doesn't get picked up, thanks for the feeling it created in me!

ReplyDeleteSo generous-- seems many of your hidden fans have come out of the woodworks. Your work is beautiful and this is no exception.
ReplyDeleteThere is a lot of love being shown in this comment section Shirin and it is all merited. People love your art and they would love it without knowing you, but knowing who you are and where you come from enriches the feelings it creates in our souls. Some of us are fortunate enough to know both the artist and the art and for that we are truly grateful.
ReplyDeleteEven when statistically possible, I never get randomly picked, but I so hope this goes differently this time, I absolutely love love love love all of your paintings and would love to have one to bring light to my house!

ReplyDelete"All Art is a gift of the Holy Spirit. When this light shines through the mind of a musician, it manifests itself in beautiful harmonies. Again, shining through the mind of a poet, it is seen in fine poetry and poetic prose. When the light of the Sun of Truth inspires the mind of a painter, he produces marvellous pictures. These gifts are fulfilling their highest purpose when showing forth the praise of God." – attributed to 'Abdu'l-Bahá by Lady Blomfield, The Chosen Highway
