The winner will be announced on the blog during December **
Well it's Monday, and I do like to kick start the week with a day full of fabulous blog posts 🙂 Have you seen the beautiful French Chateau wedding of this morning yet?
As part of my '1st Birthday Giveaways' promotions, I'd like to introduce you to a very talented Artist who I have been acquainted with for a few months now, and who has very kindly offered to donate a work of art to one of my lucky readers.
Steve Hanley is the artist behind Hanley Paintings, a new business that Steve has set up to reproduce on to canvas, in his own artistic signature style, favourite wedding and other photographic images. Think elegant hand-painted wedding, bridal and boudoir art. To demonstrate this, take a look at the lovely work of art below that Steve sent me recently. Isn't it beautiful? This is Steve's interpretation of me on my wedding day – you can see the original photograph on my wedding feature here 🙂
Steve has so very kindly offered to give away a painting onto a 40x40cm or 30x60cm canvas of any photograph or image of YOUR choice. This would usually retail from about £160 to £250 depending on the detail involved in the painting. Isn't that incredibly generous of him!?

And in addition to this, Steve is offering £50 gift vouchers to use on any painting for two runner up prizes. Honestly, there is so much good-will out here in Blog-land, it astounds me at times! 🙂
Steve Hanley happens to be the Brother of one of my dearest blog friends, Jo Barnes. Jo's wedding features on Love My Dress here and since she got married, she has gone on to establish her own very successful business in making the most beautiful vintage headpieces and wedding bouquets – be sure to check out the Jo Barnes Vintage website, but also keep an eye out for more 'Great November/1st Birthday Giveaway' features on Love My Dress, because one of them might just happen to include an exquisite Jo Barnes Vintage headpiece! {I know, I spoil you!!} 🙂
For now to be in with a chance of winning this unique prize, simply complete the form below and click 'submit'. There is no time limit to this competition – you may not yet be married but might like the idea of eventually haveing one of your wedding photographs translated onto canvas – that' fine with us 🙂
