bonniek says

Stephanie says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I love the water but my boyfriend isn’t a fan :(
Tovah says
Let’s go Swimming!
You know, here in the NW it is often too cold to go swimming in natural bodies of water but I have always really loved living near the water. I live near puget sound right now and it is such a pretty drive to work! I’m glad I’ve never had to live landlocked somewhere.
cileag says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! ! I hope you’ve heard the Laurie Berkner song by this title—so adorable.
Kathryn says
LET”S GO SWIMMING! I’m a splasher now, but love being around the water all the time!
Heather says
“LET’S GO SWIMMING!” What’s not to love? Long hot days, cold smooth water, BBQs by the pool, laughter, laying on the concrete to dry off… ahhhh welcome to Australian summer holidays!
alison says
Let’s go swimming! I’m not a huge swimmer, but I like to hang out at the pool with friends :)
Laurel S. says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! Stimulating prints, aren’t they? I LOVE swimming and lounging (in equal measure and alternating) when it’s toasty outside. I’m hoping my 4-year-old daughter can make as much improvement this summer with floaties and lessions as she did last summer so that we can all enjoy!
Jessica says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I love to swim with my husband & two girls – in the pool, lakes, and the ocean when the Maine weather will allow it!
Molly says
Let’s go swimming! I wish… I love the water.
Danae says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I do enjoy swimming, the best is diving into the lake on a hot hot summer day!
Robyn O says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!

Leah says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I am definitely not a lap swimmer, but I love the water!
Jenna says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I love to swim but don’t get the chance nearly often enough!
calliope (greece) says
Let’s go swimming!
Having been born in an island and now living 5′ from the sea, I’d say we pretty much live in the water! During summer, I usually swim first thing in the morning by myself and then after 5 in the afternoon with my son and husband and more often than not with many friends.
Heidi says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I like to splash around (tiny splashes) and feel weightless in the water… and am looking forward to doing so on an upcoming Caribbean cruise! Love the artwork of Samantha French!
Danielle says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! Ooohh I love those worldwide giveaways, living in the Netherlands ;) but seriously, swimming is awesome, especially in the sea. Unfortunately we’ve had lowsy summers the past years that kept the water very cold, but that doesn’t stop anybody from going in.
Sherry, a very happy b-day!

Liana says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
I’m definitely a swimmer–growing up in AZ we lived in the pool in the summer and now my kiddos will too!
Stef says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I love lounging by the pool … and swimming as long as the water is warm enough!
Penni McNamara says
Let’s go swimming! I love the pool….and swimming….but I’m an ultimate swim parent these days with my swim team kids!
Lauren says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
Nope, I’m not a swimmer, but I do like to be near the water.
michele says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!!!!!!!!!! i swam competitively for six years … it saved my life. i moved to a new state at the end of fourth grade and was bullied relentlessly for several years. i joined the swim team in sixth grade and started to make friends and gain self-confidence. in middle school, a few swimming friends were there so i wasn’t completely isolated anymore. by high school, i had the whole team looking out for me, and people forgot i was ‘new.’ going to state my freshman and junior years finally gave me the self-esteem that i needed to propel me forward after high school. swimming was the most important thing in my life until graduation. now my son is on the swim team, my daughter can’t wait to be, and i get to live vicariously through them. and i still count a few of my former teammates among my closest friends … even 20 years later. i’ve been lusting after these paintings for more than a year, because of the way they nail the feelings of peace and happiness and quieting of the mind that being underwater gives me. if i don’t win, i’ll still keep saving my pennies to buy one.
Sally says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! Summers at Twin Lakes, Kinzua Beach, and Callahan pools. Of course, I am a Pisces.
Mandi says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I love swimming with my daughter! Come on summer.
Sarah says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!
What an amazing giveaway! I’ve had my eye on the print of that top left painting for a while now. My sister and I went swimming together every sunday growing up, and the picture reminds me of it. It’s so evocative of that feeling of being underwater looking up.
Marcy L says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I love swimming and could basically live in the water!
Kimberly says
Let’s go swimming! I love swimming laps!
marisa says
let’s go swimming!

Tammy says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I swam for my college’s swim team, so water used to be my life!
Lindy says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I used to be on the swim team back in high school, it feel great to be in the water!
jack says
let’s go swimming
Jennie D says
Let’s goooo swimming!! :) I LOVE to swim, especially if there is salt water involved. Definitely a beach girl!
connie says
Lets Go Swimming….I swim everyday I can in the summer because I love water and its my exercise. My sister and I meet at the pool and its our chat-fest time too. We’ve been doing this for a couple years since our kids are now grown and it helps us feel young.
cvjn says
LET”S GO SWIMMING! We just bought a house with a pool, and I’ve been eyeing Samantha’s prints for a while because they’d be perfect for our place.
Kristen @ Inspired Whims says
LET’S GO SWIMMING!!!
My 17-month-old fishy loves swimming and one of these prints would be great in her bathroom! Thanks for the contest.
Chelsea says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I’m more of a rush into huge waves and don’t think about how cold it is kinda swimmer. Even then, it’s got to be 85+ degrees outside to convince me!
Kara says
Let’s Go Swimming! I love swimming but I am not very proficient :(
Nicole says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! It’s winter and I’ve got the blues. A little sand and surf would definitely brighten things up.
Jenny B says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I love the water, although I have to say the ocean more than a pool. Bobbing over waves at Kaanapali Beach or Napili Bay on Maui is one of my favorite memories ever. What a great giveaway this is, thanks to the artist!
Krista says
LET’S GO SWIMMING! I love swimming, especially lake swimming, but don’t get to do that much up here in AK because the water is still pretty cold in the summer. Doesn’t seem to bother the pup though, he’s fanatical about swimming in anything that resembles water.
