The winner of this week’s giveaway can literally make that request. Because Swedish-born Virginia-based artist Erica Eriksdotter is giving away a commissioned painting worth up to $350. That’s right everyone, put on your fancy pants because soon you could be telling your friends smugly “oh yeah, that beautiful painting over there? I commissioned it.”
We really like the color in all of Erica’s work, and we love that our winner will be able to guide the color and design of their custom work to fit their home perfectly. You can even pick the best size for your space (from a 12 x 9″ up to 16 x 20″). Here’s how to enter:
- PRIZE: A commissioned painting from Studio Eriksdotter worth up to $350
- TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “PAINT ME A PICTURE!” and…
- BONUS QUESTION: …tell us about your favorite piece of one-of-a-kind artwork that you currently own. Maybe it’s a finger painting done by a kid in your life? Something you got on etsy? Or a drawing that you sketched yourself to fill some blank space?

Wow, what an amazing prize. I guess the only custom art that I have in my home is my son’s drawings. I do love some of them and have them framed,but something like this would be amazing.

Our favorite and only semi-artwork we have is our wedding guest book. All of our guests “leaf’d their thumbprint” on a tree and signed their name next to it. I was so happy with how it turned out. However, I would LOVE to fill our new house and barren walls with a beautiful piece of real art!!

My most prized piece of art is a painting that my husband comissioned for our engagement. It is a painting of him kneeling and proposing to me. It was set up in the ballroom where he proposed, and when we walked in it was in the middle of the room and he did just what the painting depicted! In the painting I am wearing the very outfit I had on at the time. He did an incredible job setting it up! And the artist did amazing!

My favorite piece of art in my home is a picture my now-husband drew me when we first started dating. It looks like a child drew it, but it is so sweet. I framed it and gave it to him as a wedding gift 5 years later – he figured I had thrown it away.
