Oh... what a fantastic give-away!! I like them all, but perhaps 'A dream you dare to dream' suits me at the moment! Beautiful and full of emotions!
Happy day!
my email is grdepa@yahoo.com
beautiful work!
Her works are beautiful. She has an incredible eye for capturing light and her clouds are stunning. I am totally smitten with both 'let go' and 'steady'....probably for those same reasons.
Best of luck Allie. You have a beautiful talent, it won't take long for that to spread like wildfire!
Simone
They are all sooo beautiful. I think I am in love with canyon and within reach.
Thank you for the give away ;)
some really pretty work!
Here is A Dream I Dare To Dream~ one of Allie's paintings gracing my walls. Fingers crossed.
I absolutely love her piece "Within Reach"
What a great giveaway!
These are absolutely beautiful. I love within reach. Gorgeous.

Tough choice, as I love them all, but I think "Let Go" is my favorite! Thanks for posting. (My email address is minimallyinvasivenj [at] yahoo.com)
hands down "let go."
Gorgeous work.
Allie's bio is really touching! All are gorgeous, but her, "Poplar Grove" is a truly peaceful painting.
Thanks!

I can't take my eyes off of adrift. It is just beautiful!
What a talented artist - thank you for introducing her to me. Whirlwind is simply gorgeous! What a great giveaway.

Sorry missed providing my email: jkweber{at}gmail{dot}com
Love them all, but Poplar Grove might be my favorite.
Love "Within Reach"
Beautiful art work. My favorite would be "Let Go". I am always drawn to stormy looking photos and paintings.

So serene and beautiful.
Her work is wonderful.

It's so hard to choose just one! But if I had to, I think Poplar Grove has such incredible movement and coloring.

This is the best giveaway I've seen on a blog. Her art is beautiful. IT is incredibly hard to pick a favorite as they are all moving and powerful pieces. I like "Poplar Grove" best, I think. :)
lmoretti at gmail dot com !
these are absolutely breathtaking... thank you for the introduction to this soulful artist... i seem to be continually drawn to blues of late, so it surprises me hugely that after clicking through each of the paintings the one i had the real inhale-of-breath moment with was 'steady'... i could gaze upon that scene for hours upon hours... sue @ anomadicabode.com
Great shop. It was tough to select but I immediately loved "Steady". Thanks for the intro to this artist and her blog!
mmargenot@aol.com
That's a really tough call as they area all beautiful. I tried hard not to be influenced by the titles but in the end, kept coming back to **Let Go**.
What a hard thing to try and choose just one! This second I'd have to say my favorite is "steady". They are all just absolutely beautiful!
Thanks,
Abbey

I LOVE Let Go. Every single thing about it. Absolutely gorgeous!!!
Lovely art and really great way to get feedback about what people like the most.
In the smaller 12x12 size Poplar Grove is wonderful, in the larger sizes, love all equally of these three, Canyon, Dare To Dream, Let Go. Anyone would be thrilled have one of them. Best of luck with your art.
I love them all, but my favorite is WITHIN REACH.
The best give-away ever! They are all really wonderful but I cannot stop daydreaming of "a dream you dare to dream" and hope that this is one that will come true.
Thanks,
Lucille

I love whirlwind. The colors, the composition, everything about it!!
larkspurpurple (at) gmail.com
I like whirlwind or adrift.
"Within Reach," with it's moody blues and grays, speaks to me most. My second favorite is "Steady."
Within Reach is simply stunning!
Amzing use of color and spatial mood.
Dramatic and soothing at the same time. My two favorites are Steady and Poplar Grove/
I like "steady"
Love the giveaway!
shankyouverymuch11 at yahoo dot com
What an awesome giveaway!! They are all beautiful but I love "steady"!
I really love the colours in Within Reach. This would look great in my lounge room!
What a wonderful opportunity to have a chance to win such an amazing piece of art. She is beyond talented. I am always so glad to see fresh new talent.
I am dreaming, drooling and loving them all, but the one that is particularly speaking to me is "Let Go"..... The depth, the richness, the way it pulls you in and allows you to think of and be nowhere else, but right there, letting it all go... True love.
Thank you! I look forward to following her and learning more about her and her work.
Within Reach is my favorite. They are all beautiful!
Allie's work is simply stunning...thank you for the introduction. Completely drawn into the moodiness and depth of Let Go.
Oh, I LOVE 'A Dream you Dare To Dream'! What beautiful, emotive works! VERY hard to choose only one...Thank you for the opportunity to win one of these. I'll have my fingers & toes crossed!

really lovely work! I can't get enough of 'poplar grove' - the green is such a beautiful color. thanks!
Amazing artist. My favorite is 'Within Reach"
All very evocative works, but the one that spoke to me is "Within Reach" - love it!
wwadeiii@gmail.com
This is so generous of you! I love the feeling of joy and hope in 'A Dream You Dare to Dream'. They are all so beautiful ... it is hard to choose just one! Truly moving...
Steady, sistah...
it reminds me of looking down an estuary, not far from where I live...
dreamy Plum Island, Massachusetts.

I joined her site. I love Patience and Poplar Grove. Beautiful Work.
thank you for sharing allies' work with your readers -- its always wonderful to be exposed to new artists.
I really love all her work -- entire site is beautiful. Of the nine pieces features my top three are:
1. poplar grove
2. let go
3. steady
I also looked at some of her commission works and love 'Grace' and 'Flightless Wings'. I also found the yellowish tint and indigo of 'Atmosphere' haunting.
Its incredibly difficult to blend colors and create such beautiful feelings in air and water, both Allie has done exceptionally well. Your studio is also stunningly serene...!
Thanks Chrisina for your terrific blog and sharing with the rest of us Allie's work.

I love the deep blues in 'adrift.'
I have always wanted one of those! I can't just pick one, I love them all! Thanks for this opportunity!
All of the painting are wonderful! I especially love the Canyon, the colors are marvelous! I would hang it in a very special space in my home, where I could dream while looking at it!
Thank you for the amazing giveaway!

Love "Within Reach"....this speaks to me with beautiful emotion.
I love Canyon and Steady,for they both evoked very different feelings that I am experiencing right now.....contemplating forever and hope....beryla@starband.net
Trovo bellissimi i colori, la tecnica, le sfumature, le suggestioni di Within reach!
Magari mi arrivasse qualcosa di simile in Italia!!!

I've had an art crush on Allie all year. My favorite is 'a dream you dare to dream'.
I'm torn between "Steady" and "Adrift" but they are all wonderful! Nadine - sparrow7@gmail.com
Oh how lovely. My favorite is A Dream You Dare To Dream.
sunmumsie at yahoo dot com
Beautiful! I think my favourite is "let go". I love dark and moody paintings.
I LOVE these beautiful paintings. Hard choice! I think my favorite is the within rach :)
Christina, not only do I love your blog, your give-a-ways are always fantastic--this Artist is amazing! It is so hard to choose because all of them speak to me, but truly the one that Shouts at me is "Let Go". I get transported to another place just looking at it on-line--can only imagine what would happen if I actually won it!
I loved the "Dream you Dare to Dream"...the clouds looked like they were actually rolling by...love!

I love all of Allie's artwork - very soothing and serene paintings. I am renovating my kitchen w/ a contemporary touch and I think "Let Go" would be a fine addition to my new space.
Thanks, Laviza Shariff
This is a lovely way to give an artist some exposure - and allow us all to "dare to dream." After consideration, I think my favorite is probably either "steady" or "poplar grove." Thank you for the opportunity
jcrown1@carolina.rr.com
It's hard to pick a favorite, but I'd have to say Steady, but a dream you dare to dream Is a very close second. So lovely.
I love 'poplar grove' because it reminds me of an amazing misty morning view I had when I stayed in tamborine mountain after coming out of hospital having Had major surgery. It was a serene and happy peaceful moment and this painting takes me right back there, breathtaking x
Jo at hausstylish.blogspot.com
What an awesome present! They are all so heavenly, my favorite is "within reach".
Beautiful work! "Canyon" captures the colors and mystery of a red rock canyon so well, but also makes me think of mythical beings dancing in clouds. "Let go" has such a spiritual light from above and is so aptly named! peggyswfl at yahoo dot com.
All of her work is really beautiful. You feel drawn into each piece and it feels as if you are really there in that moment. Would love to own any one of them!
Wow, I love all of Allie's work...so beautiful! My favorite is "patience."
I love these kinds of paintings and I think my favorite is "Steady".
Jabrlw@att.net

I have been searching for a piece just like these for our newly decorated family room. "Steady" caught my eye immediately. The colors are perfect and the scene, which is so moody yet tranquil, spoke to me immediately. It reminded me of views we saw on recent family trips to the Carolina Low Country and from the bay close by my home on Long Island. Thank you for introducing me to a very talented artist.
Susan ssfurrer@optonline.net
Poplar Grove is beautiful - that is my favorite... with Patience a very close 2nd!
I have been drooling over Canyon for a week now after stumbling upon it on Pinterest- so it has to be my favorite. But Within Reach is a very very close second. I love her use of color and the calm and soothing scenery. I would be so happy to win a custom piece from this wonderful artist!! kim@kimhayesphoto.com
What amazing work! I don't think I can choose a favorite! All of her pieces have such a dreamy quality to them. I really love her commissioned pieces best. Thank you for sharing!
They are all completely amazing. IIf I had to choose just one...Let Go would be it. Thanks much for the great opportunity!

I am shocked. I was just about to buy the last one "patience" and i am just waiting on my husband to remind me of our paypal account. They are all fantastic... Ohhh, it would be so nice to win.
Thanks for the opportunity, funny how small the world really is nowadays

"Steady" is my favorite. Lovely work.
kimmy.hescock@gmail.com
Absolutely beautiful paintings and a fantastic give-away. I'm in search of art all the time at the moment after buying our very first house, but resorting to attempting oil painting for the first time since college to save the pennies! These are providing lots of inspiration!
My favourite is Allie's latest, Canyon, it feels like a warm wispy summers day.
Jen (j.a.gilbert@hotmail.co.uk)
I was initially drawn in by the murky drama of 'Within Reach', but once my eye lit on 'A Dream You Dare to Dream' - the misty serenity - I love it (all).
Within reach is my favorite. All her work is ethereal. I love her treatment of the sky. Lovely. My email is eraidno@hotmail.com
I love them all but Within Reach is my favorite
I love "within reach." A close second is "let go." What a gorgeous, simple way she has of capturing clouds and the sea.

LET GO is clearly my favorite! I love the calm and peacefulness her art brings to a home and the way colors intermix...
Oh,they are all beautiful! I particularly live the adrift!
Oops, meant love! Mdann44@ gmail.com

I love Let Go - and I would love to live with it on my wall!

I love the clouds in "Within Reach"...I guess mostly because the clouds here are usually so wimpy!
Thanks for the chance!

what lovely, calming beautiful paintings. within reach really speaks to me. it reminds me of the moments before an ocean storm, when the colors seems to radiate. so beautiful!
Allie is armed with a palette of cool taupes, soft grays, and dreamy blues in her "steady" which I would be proud to hang in my home it would be a wonderful,unexpected thrill to hang her very special art in my home.

I have to say 'Adrift' is my favorite. Those blues are to die for. I also really love 'Let Go', greys are so calming for me.
Gorgeous work.
Wow, all of Allie's work is amazing! It's "Within Reach" though that really captures my eye... It's magical.
Wow! She's a super talented artist. Her work is so beautiful and atmospheric. I really love canyon. x
hard to choose, but Canyon for it's use of color and light and steady for the peaceful mood the composition and title evokes. stunning work!
It was hard to choose just one but I think that "within reach" may be my very favorite. We just bought a new home and I am hoping and praying that I win as her work would be just perfect there. Fingers crossed!!
I truly love the piece 'let go'! Reminds me of breezy summer days spent on the lake or sailing.... so relaxing and dreamy!
My favorite is Let Go. So lovely. Such open space such possibilities.
amazzzzzing work! having lived along the coast my entire life I can truly appreciate the atmospheres that Allie has captured in her pieces. i am in love with "within reach". utterly breathtaking. win or lose, i am glad i came across such a talented artist. congratualtions to her.

Patience is my favorite- so soothing, with a little bite at the end.
Hard to choose just one, but I really like "a dream you dare to dream"!
Ndillinger@bpsnetworks.com
What an amazing artist and wonderful give-away! My favorite is Within Reach! I love all the blues and greens of the water!

I love whirlwind
Canyon. Canyon has this amazing texture and movement that seems so real. And it perfectly embodies the story of my life right now...a beautiful whirlwind of excitement and anticipation combined with soft, peaceful colors. I love my life and this piece of art is perfect for it.
