Art Parade Day 4: Carla Sonheim

by Grace on November 20, 2008

** This giveaway is now closed. **

** Congratulations to CP Perry! **

A LITTLE ABOUT THE ARTIST:

Carla Sonheim is an artist who declares herself “a painter of girls”. She is a mom of two boys, no girls so her many beautiful pieces are about BEING a girl… in a sense they are all self portraits.

Looking at her work makes me nostalgic maybe because her art depicts those tender, innocent moments as a child.

You can find her recent creative outpourings, drawing assignments, photos and stories at her blog, Snowball Journals. Whimsical portraits and pets inspired by the special and fleeting innocence of childhood can be found in her Carla Sonheim Art website.

MY PERSONAL FAVORITES:
Look at these paintings and tell me you don’t like it.

From left: Girl with monarch butterfly and Girl with squirrel

When my little daughter will have her own room, I would like to put these inside. If you love little girls and animals or both, I am sure you’ll have a grand time browsing through Carla Sonheim’s works and be hooked to it.

WHAT’S UP FOR GRABS:
ONE winner will get TWO prints of their choice from Carla Sonheim!

HOW TO WIN:

Goodluck!
