The portrait painter Simon Butler has received commissions from all over the world and has recently painted this portrait of actress Charlize Theron. His style of painting has been appreciated by people internationally, including many of his contemporaries, due to the "realism" style of his painting.


Simon Butler is giving one lucky reader of either Family Tree Magazine or Practical Family History the chance to win a 20 x 24" Oil Portrait of themselves or any family member
or pet valued at £1600.

For your chance to win this fantastic prize simply answer the following question: What is the name of the famous celebrity that Simon Butler has just painted?

Either print out the competition entry form, here, and send it to Portrait Competition, ABM Publishing Limited, 61 Great Whyte, Ramsey, Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire, PE26 1HJ, UK or fill in and submit the competition entry form at the bottom of the page.

The competition draw will take place on 30 November 2006. The winner will be drawn randomly from all correct entries and notified shortly thereafter. There will be 10 runners up, each receiving money-off vouchers worth £500.

Can I just remind you all that last time, everybody who entered won - a
runners-up prize of money off a portrait. When Vanilla Moon rightly told
them that it wasn't a "prize" if you had to pay towards it, she got the
following rude email:


"Why don't you just SHUT UP, if you had the intelligence to look at the
website you will see that as a runner-up, yes runner-up and not the winner
, you would have been able to get a Simon butler portrait for £165, no
scam here or do you not appreciate how much it costs for oil portraits
these day! What was you expecting 50p or something ?
Stop living in the dark ages!
Fool !"


I'll leave it to you to decide if you really want to enter this!
