Winner announced for October's E-Newsletter Contest Drawing!

Hello friends,

I hope you are doing well this October. As you know, I have been running a contest drawing this month to encourage people to stay in contact with me on my painting adventures. For everyone that has joined my weekly E-Newsletter, thank you for signing up. I am happy to announce that Kathy Bockelman is this month's winner! She will win an original oil portrait painting of her choice of her favorite person, her son. I am really thrilled at everyone’s response to this contest for everyone taking time to read my weekly adventures. I will be running another one soon, but I have to put the finishing touches on my kids bathroom renovation as it nears completion, whew! I am so glad it’s almost over so I can return to painting! Stay tuned for Kathy’s winning portrait of her son! Thank you all for your support and I hope you all have a great week! And of course, congrats to Kathy for winning!

One another note, I am will open for commissions for a limited time before the holiday season. If you are interested in getting a painting for the holidays, reach out soon before my schedule fills up. I'll leave you with few digital paintings I've been able to put out.

Best,

Doug
