“Open letter” to my giveaway’s winner !
Dear Tammie,
first of all, I wish to thank you so much for the sincere support you have showed me, and for caring enough and taking the time to let me have your feedback on my work, which as I’m sure you know, is always something that means a lot to a person involved with making art.
I am also very grateful to you because you are the one you have allowed me to be able to do this giveaway at all, which I really wished for personal reasons.
I’m very happy that I had the opportunity to get to know you via this as well, because I loved your websites and I find your enthusiasm inspiring and “contagious” 
Even if there was no “contest” in the strict sense, I am glad because I will not have any doubts ever about not having made a good choice of winner ;P
I hope with all my heart that you will enjoy the oil painting I’m lovingly making for you, when you’ll have it in your home and look at it on your wall.
Thank you dear Tammie Lee !
