Special extra draw for overseas entries - same prize option as above

Our overseas customers have always been very important to us... On the day the 'luck of the draw' favoured New Zealanders! So we decided there & then to keep drawing out entries until we had two overseas winners. They are:

J.L. Byard - Beaconsfield, Tasmania
Maureen Curcic - Victoria, Australia

Our congratulations to all the winners.

And thank you to everyone who sent in an entry form—many of these include messages wishing us good luck for the future, saying how much they'd enjoyed our calendars over the years, "were going to miss us" etc.

We replied to as many as we could but eventually there were too many for us to reply to them all individually! Thank you for these notes & for your patronage over the years.

Dear Nancy & Bryan

'Autumn Still Life' has arrived in our house - safely! It is in perfect condition - beautifully packed - thank you so much!

Have enclosed a photo to show you the painting in its new home! It looks SO beautiful, so fresh and colourful, as if the flowers and fruit were alive - (am sure you have heard that comment many times about your wonderful paintings) - your skill at capturing the light takes one's breath away.

It is amazing how it fits in so perfectly with our colour scheme - you would be very pleased to see it in its new setting. It will be greatly treasured, believe me!

Thank you so very much again for everything you have done - and for holding the draw! We still cannot quite believe we have been the truly lucky ones!

We do hope we will be lucky enough to be able to meet you one day.

Best wishes
Joy & Richard Cross
