Flash Giveaway!
I just got that beautiful bold vintage teal metal "Nine" at Three Potato Four shop.
It has a "Five" on the other side. I bought it because it's my favorite color and also because since I was a little girl my close friends and family call me "Nine"
(like "Nina", but with a short "e" at the end).
I even have a cousin that calls me "Nueve" (number 9 in Spanish)!
I received some copies of the Posh Easy Crosswords yesterday and I'm going to give one away with a signed print of the "Three Little Birds" they used for the cover.
Please leave a comment in this post with your name & what your favorite color is.
I'll pick a random name tonight (I'll be closing the comments at 10 p.m. Central Time) I'll announce the winner tomorrow morning! Thank you for participating :)
***Comments are now disabled. Come back tomorrow to know who won!

Hi! The book is so beautiful! My name is Megan - my favorite colors are shades of turquoise!!
My name is Michael, and I think choosing a favorite color is all but impossible! (g)
One of my favorite things about your work is your sense of color and the way all those different hues sing in the perfect juxtaposition.
That said, if I have to choose a favorite, right now it would be a lovely shade of sea-glass green/aqua-- something like the body color of the middle bird in your "Three Little Birds".
hello! my favorite color is yellow and your birds make me smile.
I love those!
Kiki——————My favorite color is blue~~

I always say green. I've been favoring blue-y greens lately.
I've wanted to get one of these for ages and now they have your birds on the cover - how cool is that! I really love the robin egg blue right now. I think it's perfect for the summer :)
I always have a hard time picking a color as my favorite -- I like them all. I guess I'd go with magenta right now, since that's what color I'm wearing today :)
Hi Geninne! My name is Linda and my favorite color is blue-green.
Your birdies are lovely and all of your art is an inspiration. Thanks!

Count me in! My favorite color is blue.
My fav color is orange (not bright but burnt orange kinda color). I check your blog every day now for inspiring paintings. I love painting flowers/birds myself but yours are original. As for #9, I like it, but I couldn't help but think you could have probably painted a phenomenal 9 with birds and awesome colors to go along with it? :)
Ooo what a fun giveaway! I love crosswords almost as much as your artwork!
Anyway, my favorite color is green.
-Becca
Oh, I love love love sea foam green. I think because when I see it I can smell it too - even though that's kinda weird!
Difficult task. Every colour has its moment, scent, feeling, etc.
But if I have to... orange.
I love all shades of blue. For me gives peace all the time. And my name is Patricia
I like all the shades of green from the bright yellow green of an apple to the deep blue green of a forest seen from a distance. I love your work! Nandita
It's as impossible for me to have just one favorite color as it is to have only one favorite food! But I'll go with turquoise...and grass green!
Cindy
Ups - forgot to write my name: Maja
(Sorry)
I love green! And yellow. And pink. And... Well, actually I love how colours look next to other colours... Which can make a pretty ugly colour rather nice, and a lovely colour rather bland.
My name is Cláudia, I'm a bluesh girl, lol.
I couldn't live far from the sea :)
Thanks for this giveaway :)

Love, love, love your art!! I've been visiting your blog for a couple of years now. Thank you for adding so much beauty to the world!
My name is Deb and since the weather where I live has been unrelenting GRAY for almost 2 weeks, today I choose Sunshine Yellow.
My favorite color is bright green. Also bright blue. Preferably right next to each other.
I love crosswords, love your work, so this would be heavenly!

How lovely - i am katie and I love reading your blog - it is one of my daily reads!
I love all shades of green - especially the lime end of green!
I would be so pleased to be included in your generous draw!
Thank you
Oops, I read the directions too quickly. Oddly enough, my favorite color is brown. I. Love. Brown. And I especially love it with red, or aqua, or orange. Of course, yellow and green look fantastic beside brown, as well.
I will say a rich Sagey/Lime Green is my favorite color but it really matters what is surrounding it.. A little teal, and turq, some deep beautiful brown and touches of orange!
I'm Jennifer and I use the name AugustWren for my company.
I'm always searching for that perfect intersection between green and blue. Pure beauty!

Hi Geninne--I just saw this post on Design Sponge http://www.designspongeonline.com/2010/05/icff-2010-facets-organic-shapes.html and some of the furnishings really remind me of the geometric elements in your recent work.

Hi, Geninne,
Love your blog, I often use it for ideas in my elementary art class. my favorite color is orange
Diana :) And my favourite colour is teal too.
Such gorgeous colours - my favourite's teal, but I'm very partial to dark vibrant colours in general, like burgundy, purple, and midnight blue.
I'm really liking green at the moment. I think it's because of all the shades of green that have arrived with spring. I enjoy your work so much and it has inspired me to take more notice the nature all around me.
Hey! My name is Jacquelyn from Arizona and my favorite colors are the Turquoise and Blues that you use in your WaterColors! Have an Amazing Weekend :)
