Update and FREE painting drawing!

[Helen Read]

Hi everyone! I hope you are having a great summer. I am enjoying my
summer, so far.
I've been busy in the studio, and have some new works posted!

Also, until Saturday 6/27 - there is an auction underway - Hollyhocks
in Bloom. It is an 8x8" Oil painting in a contemporary, realistic
style. The bidding has begun low!!
You can see all this at my blog, with images and links to the ebay
auction:

Also a Free Painting Offer!
Introduce your friends to our group & win a painting in a drawing -
what could be better!?
One of my summer goals is to increase the size of my email list. Of
course, you are already a member, but you know people who are not.
So, I need your introductions!

So, for each friend referral who is willing to sign up for my email
list, I will enter your name into a drawing for a free painting. Not
just any painting, however - your commission of a floral done in
watercolor. For the winner, the painting will be post card size, and
you choose the flower! I will complete it and mail it to you, ready
to frame.

In order to be properly entered into the drawing, please do the
following:
1. Obtain the permission of your friend(s) (this is very important,
because I don't want to violate your friend's trust or begin sending
information to them unexpectedly!)
2. Email me the names and email addresses of the friends you are
submitting. Be sure to include your own name so I know who sent the
addresses! studio_...@hotmail.com
In the subject line include - Friends!
3. I will send an email to your friend, verifying they agree to be
added.
4. You friend will receive a small gift for being added. (A small
set of notecards)
5. Your name goes into the drawing which will be held on July 15.
6. The winner will be notified and decide what flower I should
paint.
7. Within a week or so, your painting will arrive!

Your name can be entered multiple times, depending on the number of
friends who sign up for our group.

I hope you will have some fun with this and participate by sending me
introductions! It seems like a win-win-win situation!

Until next time - Helen
