new print + pinterest giveaway

I painted this piece earlier this year after Mike and I took a vacation to snowboard and visit friends in Colorado. In my head, Colorado was nothing but mountains and rocks and snow, but in real life a lot of it is really beautiful prairie crosscrossed by fences and train tracks, and nothing but big huge sky from the horizon up. I scribbled down a poem and later used it for this piece, which is a little more rustic and organic than most of my other work. Lots of graphite, metal, rust, etc.


Under the Open Sky is available in my shop as a print in three sizes. 
The original will be available later this week.

Also, thank you to everyone who started following me on Pinterest! I'm still fighting off this cold and and had a blast chilling on the couch and looking through all of your boards. I decided to do a Pinterest giveaway today as well... two winners will win their favorite 14"x11" print from my shop! 

To enter: 
- All you have to do is pin your favorite print from my Etsy shop. If you've pinned my work anytime before this, I very much appreciate it but also ask that you pin again to enter this giveaway. 
- Put the title of the print and @mae chevrette somewhere in the description.
- Make sure to comment just once below with a link to your board or Pinterest profile to let me know you've pinned. I'll pick two comments randomly and announce the winners on Monday :)

Good luck!

This giveaway is now over at 1am EST - I'll announce the winners on Monday afternoon. If you didn't get to enter, don't worry, there will be another one soon!

    I LOVE your work, especially your "To Be Brave" piece. It makes me think about my kids ( who are about your age) and how brave you have to be to step out into this new world...
    thanks for the opportunity- I want to send a copy to my dd in New Zealand!
