Michael and I have a goal of bringing more art into our home over the next couple of years. I’ve mentioned before how it can be a little daunting to know where to start looking for artists. But have you ever been searching, and then all at once an artist’s collection or piece of art just sings to you? Your heart is doing backflips and your mind is racing? That happens to me a lot in museums, where I feel a connection with an artist, but it’s (obviously!) harder to find that in the art market in a real and affordable way.
I’m so, so thrilled to share today’s (HUGE) give away from acclaimed artist and philanthropist, Jessie Mackay, and artist who makes my heart sing. Her work has been praised by NYT art critics and hangs in celebrity homes (check out her paintings in James Carville and Mary Matalin’s home featured in Architectural Digest). Here are a few of my favorites currently available on Jessie’s site.
Today she is generously offering up this 24×30 gallery-wrapped abstract painting called ‘Soft Thoughts.’
Here are some close ups of this lovely painting, just sitting in my loft, waiting to be shipped to your home!
I love the bits of bright, almost neon paint peeking through the soft grays and creams.
Lucky you, there are a couple of ways to enter your name into the pot.
1) Simply leave a comment on this post sharing where you would hang ‘Soft Thoughts’ in your home.
2) Like Jessie Mackay Art on Facebook and leave a comment on this post saying so.
3) Pin your favorite Jessie Mackay art from her site and leave a comment on this post saying so.
The winner will be chosen at random from the comments here on July 25 at midnight. Good luck!

I've been trying to find abstract pieces for our home but as my husband and I both work for a non profit I realize we probably will never be able to afford such quality pieces. Would really love to have this in our home.
Thank you for the opportunity

Great art. I would hang it in my living room.
I would hang this in our office! I pinned her 'Jumping Juniper' painting as well!
Just beautiful!!!
If I were lucky enough to win the painting, I would hang it in my master bedroom. I'm finally getting around to starting planning the decorating for that room, and I think this would look amazing on the wall I plan to paint a smoky, dark navy blue.
I would love to give this piece to my daughter who just moved all the way to Bellingham, Washington to go to school. I think it would make her apartment a home because i think artwork doescexactly that!I liked her on facebook!

Liked her on FB. Heart singing!! :)
I would love to hang this in our bedroom over our bed. It is beautiful!
At the top of the stairs, the landing turns before heading down the hall to the bedrooms. This lone wall has long stood empty. The name of the painting is perfect for the transition from busy downstairs to the calm and solitude upstairs.
I would love this in my bedroom, which I am currently redecorating!
Wow, this looks amazing! I'd love to put it in the powder room my husband and I will be remodeling soon.
I would hand it in my living room, liked on fb and pinned! Prietocaro@yahoo.com
This would definitely go above my bed. I'm about to move, and am trying to minimalize all of the clutter and confusion. This painting is beautiful, and I know it would make the room – without any other additions.
