My creative energy is returning–thank you, spring!–and I’ve spent some time setting some artistic goals for the year.

  28. I shared on Facebook and Pinterest and I receive your newsletter. As soon as I figure out how to share on Instagram I’ll do that too!! Lol!
    Thank you for these chances for a place in your beautiful workshop!

  29. I need to blossom in my art. I need to come out spiritually. My art is not yet coming from my soul. I would love to win this class in order to be guided in that direction. I put your course on my facebook, I twittered it, I tried to pin it but got an error message 3 times, and I sent it to some people I thought might be interested in an email. Tada!

  30. Oh the course looks absolutely fabulous! Would love to be a part of it – I’m already on the mailing list, have pinned to Pinterest (although Pinterest was being cantankerous this morning) and shared on Facebook. Thank you so much for the chance to win!

  31. As a perfectionist I struggle to let go of the expectations and fear in creation. At 48 years of age I am ready to take this plunge into freedom and expression! My passion is color and paint…of that I am sure.
    I’ve posted as well, tried to instagram, emailed and facebooked! 🙂

  32. Hi Alena, Your beautiful images make me happy! The combination of painting and photography is fascinating. I would love to learn more about it. I shared “The Radiant Heart Course” on Pinterest. Best Wishes, Rika

  33. Shared with my artistic sister and a dear friend who could really enjoy this course via email.
    Signed up for the newsletter as being personally artistically challenged, believe that we can never have enough beautiful artwork in our digital world! Thanks for the offer Alena.

  34. This is such an awesome opportunity!!! I posted on Facebook, Pinterest and emailed my best art friend. I cc’d you in the email. Thank you so much for this chance. I would be honored to take a class with you.

  35. I am on a very personal journey right now. This would help me move it in the right direction! Thanks for the beautiful opportunity!

  36. I would be so excited to win this class! I shared this on my pinterest board, “Art I love” as well as my Laura Gaffke Art Page on facebook. I appreciate you wishing me “a season of clear mind, full heart, and a joyful being!” Back at you! 🙂

  37. oh man, i’d love this! everything in my life is calling me to love-through-art. losses and tears of the last few years, months and days aside, i’ve also cried joy (yesterday) and heard light (saturday) and been saved from doom (6 weeks ago)…i just need to create, share, love, sing, teach, and rock this house because being limited, comfortable as it’s been in it’s familiarity, is now hurting my skin. one of the losses has been health. another has been income. another has been the very art-making resources that helped me through so much of the losses to begin with. so, a scholarship would be muy apreciada and so well-worth it as i’m a love rocket, ready to launch. i’ve let 2 people know (one cc’ing you, the other cc’ing susan), posted to my fb wall, signed-up for your newsletter (with an email address that works better for newsletters than my previous one) and signed-up for Susan’s letter. obviamente, i really want this!

  38. A big “Thank you!” to you and Susan for offering these 3 free spots (and for creating the course!) My life right now is in a massive state of transition. Something clicked for me when I saw your newsletter describing ‘radiant heart’ and what it entailed. Whether I win a spot or not, I’m going to dig-in a bit more to my own internal musings. I want to learn how to take softer photos and use them more in my artwork.

    I did post the course page on Facebook and Pinterest, and shared it on Instagram. I’m already on your newsletter, but I’m off to Susan’s page to enter there too <3 Thanks again and lots of blessings to you! :))

  39. Deep breath of gratitude and well wishes to you, Alena and Susan. I’ve shared on facebook from both my personal page (Julia Osterc Loving Rd) and Loving Rd page. I’ve pinned to pinterest (https://www.pinterest.com/pin/546624473498484637/). I’ve posted on instagram and tagged you both. I’m already a subscriber to museletters. 🙂 I’d love to join you! This combines my passions, my lifelong love of photography and my newer foray into the world of paint and mixed-media art making. Winning would definitely give me a radiant heart. 😉 Yes, dear universe, I’m grateful for each opportunity and blessing coming my way and so grateful that Alena is one of the angel messengers! xoxo Thank you for this wonderful opportunity! I just got my first smartphone ever for Christmas. 🙂

  40. My soul is longing for all things you are offering. I am sharing in Instagram, Facebook and via email. ❤️❤️❤️

  41. Dear Alena,

    I have recently bought your ’30 days of grace’ course and I adore it, so heartfelt and full of such soul work.

    I have entered by pinning your course to my board on pinterest and sharing your course on FB.

    Thank you so much for this opportunity.

    xx

  43. wow what a wonderful giveaway I already shared it on Fb, pinterest and instagram 🙂 would love to win – I really like your way of creating, and with the combination of meditation, minfulness and holistic approach to the human being

  44. I need some daily doses of “heart and soul”…been trying to find peace through art but at a much deeper level than I’m currently doing. I’m sharing this on Facebook and signing up for your museletter list. Thank you for this wonderful opportunity!!! Much love!!!

  45. So excited! I’ve been admiring this class for a while now. I shared on Facebook, Pinterest and Instagram. Fingers crossed!

  47. I am currently enrolled in your 30-Day Of Grace and truly love it. This course sounds AMAZING too! Thanks for the giveaway! I shared via Pinterest, Facebook and newsletter. Crossing my fingers! <3

  48. I Pinned your lovely course! I’m already a Museletter subscriber. Your description of your course speaks to my soul right now. love it!

  49. My heart is over the moon excited! Would love to partake in this beautiful course, the photos you’ve shared here are stunning as always. The new year began a deep time of reflection work for myself and it’s really put a halt on my creativity almost to the point of questioning if it’s really apart of my purpose or where it fits in my life. I saw this and felt a instant connection and inspiration again and my hope was restored! I simcerely hope this will be a new chapter to begin again. I’ve shared on Pinterest, email, IG & I’m signed up for muse letters. Ever so grateful for all of your offerings, sending lots of love your way

  50. lov yer art work and all the wonderful cheery colours, cheers me up no end
    have share on my page facebook ( joan frazio ) and artjournaling italy facebook group
    hugs
    joan

  51. You are prominent on my bucket list! Shared on fb, sent out thanks from my heart for the potential opportunity to work with you both! If not this, then another opportunity will be provided. Yikes galore!!!! LOVE this idea and the inspiration it delivers.

  52. hey there Alena – I entered by way of no. 1, 2 and 5! So great that you are considerate enough to do these give always! It is inspiring! 🙂
    looking forward to joining you in NC in May!

  53. Thank you for the chance to win a place in your class with Susan Tuttle. This year I have begun a journey to rediscover my artistic soul and along the way I found myself! I start a new full time job in June after many years as an independent consultant and business owner. I will be leading an organization that is fighting for clean rivers, streams and protects water from dangerous farming practices. It will be one of the greatest challenges of my life. Painting and photography will continue to be my meditation and place where I nurture my spirit. This fall I will also become an empty-nester as my youngest daughter takes off for college. So many changes ahead that will bring joys and challenges. Your course will help me joyfully prepare my spirit and my heart for this new chapter of my life. I would be most grateful for the gift of your class.

    Heartfelt thanks,

    Carol

  54. Would love to win a spot. your work is inspiring! sharing on FB and pinterest too 🙂
    thank you and peace to you ALL <3

  55. I would feel incredibly priviliged to participate in this course. As I live on the other side of the world and can’t attend any of your offerings in person this would be a dream come true to be inspired to paint, write and photograph by two such generous artists. Your class promises to be so much more than just an art class ..but a way to experince the richness of life in a grateful and meaningful way. I already enjoy your muse letters and get excited just thinking about this course….I can only hope!

  56. Radiant awesomeness! And perfect for this time of the year when I am coming out of hibernation!. I shared the link on FB and sent an email to my mum, she is a fan!

  57. Hi! Please enter me in the contest ; ) I have shared on facebook, figured out how to screenshot and share on instagram (ok, my daughter did it for me ; ), Pinned it on pinterest, already had signed up for the newsletter, and emailed a couple of friends. Thanks so much for the chance to win – you can teach an old dog new tricks like instragram screenshots and painting…

  58. Hi Alena! Great idea for a giveaway. I have signed on to your newsletter – yay! Would be so sweet to also be a part of the lovely new offering you and Susan are creating:)

    xos

  59. I just love the idea of painting on a photograph that I took myself. The images you have made are wonderful, I love them all!
    I tried to sign up for the newsletter but it says I already have. However when I try to log in, it says nobody with that email address can be found. Are the two things a different process? Sorry for bothering you with a question.
    Ok, I’m off to do the other things to enter the give-away as I am really hoping to win a place. I can never come to your workshops as I live in Spain, so an on-line course would be a wonderful way round that.

  60. Shared on my timeline on FB (FB name is Phiona Jackson – I don’t know how to link it, sorry), pinned (https://www.pinterest.com/pin/393572454912208541/), I can’t work out how to share on Instagram… if I manage to work it out I will @ you. And finally I am going to send out emails to those friends who will be interested in this course. Thank you so much for this opportunity.

  61. Hello Dear Heart,
    Thank you for the chance to be a part of this new facet of creating art. Many Blessings

  62. As an art/ photography teacher i never seem to have the time for my Art. This sounds like the perfect fit for me since I absolutely love both and have never found a way to blend the two. Looking forward to this class.

  63. Hi Alena!
    I have to say you are my FAVORITE local artist and I am so grateful/excited/hopeful that you have offered a few spots gratis since, as much as I’d love to take your courses, I’m sooooo broke :(. I did take a small painting class you had one night at malaprops and still have my “painting” on the wall. I also have one of your prints and of course your book! As a fellow artist (jewelry design) I just so admire your ability to combine great art with spirituality, where every painting manages to evoke a specific, often powerful emotion. Now you’re offering a class that brings photography into the mix? Outstanding!! I would love to participate, so I’ve entered by every means available including:
    Pinterest
    Instagram
    Emailed 10 friends and family
    Was already signed up for your museletter
    Although unfortunately I don’t do Facebook…..
    Again, many thanks to you and Susan for this fantastic opportunity!!

  64. What a beautiful way to celebrate Spring! I’m sub. to your newsletter. I’ve been really sick for the past month this would be a wonderful way to get back to painting and embracing the season.
    xo

  65. Hello <3 I have entered all the ways <3 fb, IG, pinterest, emailed friends and family and am all ready signed up for emails <3 what a beautiful inspiring class- good luck everyone <3 <3 <3

I am still going through the CoLab, but am looking forward to the results; ArtBiz had to come along in between, however. I look forward to more with you and Susan. Hugs from Alaska. Karen [Thanks so much for the chance to win.]
