Dear Friends, Supporters, Artists, Art Lovers,

Alas, the times such as they are render a freelance artist such as myself in somewhat desperate financial straits….
Hopefully, to alleviate that sad situation, I am holding a raffle!! The lucky winner will receive a painting of their choice!!!!
This is how it will work:
Send a check, money order, or cash payable to Jeramy Turner,  to be received by June 25.
There are two categories of paintings, according to price.
Please look at my website to make sense of this all:
www.jeramyturnerpaintings.com   click on the “personal” section
note that other paintings which appear are sold already, and cannot be raffled off.
For those of you who will buy a raffle ticket for $10, you will be able to choose from the following paintings:
“Circus”
“Tourists in Lebanon”
“Wall Street”
“Gibraltar”
“Venezuela”
“Toads of Property”
“The Fittest”
If you send a check for a mere $20, you will be eligible for the following paintings (or anything from the above list, as well):
“Mergers and Acquisitions”
“Aftermath”
“Pig Roast”
“Operation Enduring Freedom”
“War Hero 1″
“War Hero 2″
“Recycling Plant”
“America”
“American Skilpadder”
“Olmagnat”
“Founding Fathers”
“Shanghai”
“White Man’s Burden”
And of course, you can feel free to ask as many friends as you like to participate.  The more the merrier.
By June 25th, I will put all the numbers into a bowl, and blindly choose one out of the lot.
But here’s the joyful part, for all of you in the NYC area!! On Wednesday, June 25th, in the evening, I will have a raffle party/exhibition at my studio (i.e. apartment).  At this time, amid friends, food, drink, and merriment, I will publicly select the winning raffle ticket from a bowl, blindfolded and all that that entails.
If you are present, you can take the painting then and there! Otherwise the painting will be either sent to you or delivered.

(personal section)

Only for $20!!!!!
Granted, I will need at least 100 entries before this can actually work.  If there are not enough entries by June 25th, then I will immediately return your check.
If you are in Europe or the UK, please send something basically equivalent.
The address is:
Ms. Jeramy Turner
475 16th Street
Brooklyn, NY 11215
USA
For those of you who are offended by my writing after a long period of silence, I apologize, really.  I know this is no way to re-acquaint with old friends.
I am very very grateful for your participation.  So many thanks, Jeramy
