    Well Holly, what a difficult choice that was to make! So...... my favourite is the maiden hair fern, it is so delicate and beautifully balanced.

    This was a very difficult choice, I truly love them all... but if I had to pick one, I would choose the "Winged Maple Seeds". Exquisite!!

    I do love those beetles! (And the bird's nest and my daughter voted for the feathers and the moth, but our official vote is going to be for the beetles.)

    Well, it's a difficult decision. They are all wonderful. Leaning towards the maiden hair.

  19. Jone HallmarkAugust 31, 2012 at 10:40 AM

    You are amazing.
    I find your work so inspiring and your style so delicate and magical. I have long-loved the way you see things and put them to paper.
    What a dream to have the possibility to "win" one from you.
    Choosing a favorite is not easy because they are incredible all together.....but....
    TOP on my list is the Beetles & Weevils, with the Bird Nest a close second and the Hornet Moths close behind.
    So wonderful that you are offering these prints again...they are exquisite....thank you!

    Oh, I'm so glad to see that you have prints again. They're all so lovely; it's hard to pick a favorite. However, the delicate legs of the Blue Wing Butterfly Specimen put such a smile on my face, that one must be my favorite.

    Hello Golly,

  25. MaraAugust 31, 2012 at 11:31 AM

    Hard to choose !
    Beetles ? Nest ? Acorns ? Winged Maple Seeds ?
    Let's say Beetles 'cause the composition of 'entomologistic' frames are fun.
    Love the way you use watercolor,
    Best wishes from France,

    Hello Holly,
    I'm so happy to see that you are offering prints again. It was a very difficult decision, but I think my favorite is the feather print.

  28. dawnsfluteAugust 31, 2012 at 11:38 AM

    the blue winged butterfly spoke to me as I observed the intricate but simple pattern that weaves through each wing . . . as if to tell a story of the journey it has made thus far . . .

  29. MILLYAugust 31, 2012 at 11:56 AM

    I love the Yellow throats bird print because it also has the little yellow ladybirds and it is just so lovely. Of course they are all beautifully painted and make a great set.

  30. R RAugust 31, 2012 at 12:41 PM

    Love, love, love the yellowthroats! It was really hard to choose only one, though.
    Nice work Golly!

    I have several of these in your fabric version, tucked away in my sewing cupboard. I'm looking forward to putting them together in a quilt this fall.

    I have not seen the acorn print yet. I think it's pretty sweet and simple.

  36. Kathleen MaunderAugust 31, 2012 at 2:19 PM

    Well that was silly. I was the first to post a comment but didn't mention my favorite! Once again, I wanted to say that the prints are beautiful which is no surprise. I could be happy with any of them but I particularly love "winged maple seeds".

    Thank you for the generous giveaway! A year ago we did a bit of remodeling in our living room, including adding some original art, including some of your work. It would be wonderful to add the maidenhair fern to our collection! Congrats to whoever wins.

    Not fair making us choose a favorite!! Love them all.
    If I have to pick, then it's a tie between the three feathers and the eggs in nest... but really...

  42. Suzy TaylorAugust 31, 2012 at 3:15 PM

    Ooh - should it be the nest or the feathers? They're both so beautiful. They're ALL so beautiful. I'll go for the feathers!

    oh this is exciting, I think I am going to get a few for my wall. I like the nest, the freathers, maidenhair and the beetles.... impossible to choose but maybe the maidenhair brings back memories for me.

  49. Heather AAugust 31, 2012 at 6:14 PM

    Oh, wow! I'm such a fan. The agony of picking just one (for now). I'm going with Winged Maple Seeds. LOVE IT! And it reminds me of my kids watching them twirl to earth on our front lawn.

    ReplyDelete
  50. AnonymousAugust 31, 2012 at 6:46 PM

    So beautiful and difficult to choose a favourite... it's a tie between the eggs and the feathers. The eggs in the nest remind me of 'no other planet can be as beautiful as this one'. The feathers remind me of my love bird that I dearly love and he loves the make papersnippers for me to use as nesting materials.

    Glad I happened to come across your site :-)

    When I was growing up in New England, the forsythia bush was one of the first flowers to bloom after the long, cold, grey winters. The bright yellow blossoms represent spring to me so that print seems especially lovely to me. They are all so pretty.

    When I think of Etsy, I think of Golly Bard!

    It's not nearly as nice as owning a print or an original I am sure...but I really like clicking that little Heart on a beautiful painting from your shop...and I especially love including your paintings in Treasuries!

    I am looking forward to owning an original some day, my dear. Congratulations on your new prints...they are gorgeous. (Of course!)

    Best wishes,

    You are my favorite artist and I have so been hoping you would offer prints! They are all so beautiful, but I like the yellowthroats and the bird nest the best. The green-yellow and the turquoise blue are the colors of my living room. I think if I won a print, I would definitely have to buy the other to go with it! :) Thank you for the opportunity!
