Okay folks, this should work and the portrait and video are my submissions for Art Every Day. I’m crossing my fingers and eyes on this. I don’t have four weekends to drag this thing out. My patience ain’t working that way no more, so here are the rules:
- Name the person in the video. You get to see a picture and hear her voice. Got it?
- Next, state her name in the comment section, along with a number between 15 – 30. The numbers will be used in the case of a tie. If your number matches or comes close to the number Little Totsy draws out, you are the winner. Follow me?
- There can be three winners and there will be three different prizes. The prizes are: One original work of art. Prize No. 2 is an assorted set of flat note cards printed from my artwork. Prize No. 3 is a single portrait of what you send to me via email.
- You have until November 14 at midnight (eastern time) to enter.
To the winner of the portrait, please make sure you send me a clear photo. I haven’t seen my glasses around here since early September but I’ve had a heavy dose of carrot juice over the last few weeks. Still, I ain’t putting no time into squinting up at some picture you’ve taken at the club drinking with your buddies and whatnot. It ain’t gonna work that way. I need something I can see straight on, so I can take care of you and go on about some other business. Remember, I’m only producing one portrait with one person in it.
For the folks who win the other prizes, I won’t be making but one trip to the post office. Everything will be mailed off to y’all once that portrait is all done up. I simply don’t wanna be back and forth to no post office during this holiday season. It won’t be an oil portrait or nothing, so you won’t have to wait long, so bear with me.
Now, after the winners are chosen, a second drawing will determine who gets what prize. I’ll announce the winners a week from today and who’s getting what. From there, you’ll make your way over to my contact page and send me your address so we can wrap it up. I’ll email you folks the day I mail your prizes out. Any questions, just ask. I don’t bite but hey, I think ole Herman might like to nibble on ya. (wink, wink y’all)
Quote of the Week: A person without a sense of humor is like a wagon without springs. It’s jolted by every pebble in the road. Henry Ward Beecher.
I'm an artist who's writing,mothering, blogging and doing a few other things under the sun. I buy toilet paper 99.9% of every trip I make to the grocery store. I'm a people watcher, so I know you're here but drop me a line anyway.

That’s Lilly Tomlin! # 19
Lily Tomlin. #29.
How can I win now? I’m too stupid to understand all that stuff you said.
Participants will name the person in the video and choose a number
between 15 and 30. If you name her correctly, numbers will be drawn
from a hat. If your number comes up, you win. Or if your number is
closer than what someone else chose, you win. Little Totsy will
only draw from the hat three times.
Your number/name will then be placed to the side if your number was drawn.
I will then ask Little Totsy to draw out a prize for, say 29. If she
draws out the portrait prize, that is what you win.
Can I guess twice?
Also, i have a question. What if two/more people choose a number?
Highly likely madam, given your fan following!
Only once.

Lily Tomlin!!! Thanks for the laughs. I pick #25.
Normally, I’m not so interested in contests, but I really hope I win this one because I love your art!
Thanks, Shary. Glad it peaked your interest.
Lily Tomlin (love her!) and 16.
Good for you to draw every day. Both of these are very good. Sounds like you have a great job too!
That last comment was a mistake because it copied the last comment I made on somebody else’s site when I logged into Facebook. Sorry!
I am not entering the contest because I am not absolutely sure I could have ID’d her if I had not read everyone else’s comments. But I wanterd to say I love the picture. Excellent and interesting portrait!

Pssst. Kim. Over here…
You need to pick a number between 15 and 30. Don’t ask me why, but for some reason Tots made up the rules, or may she just counts funny, coming from the South and all…
I think Kim’s still on that Vegas trip and tilting gin and juice or something.
That’s my gal, Lily Tomlin for sure! What I’m not sure about is the number, 30.
Lily Tomlin # 24
I have not heard this routine before!! I could just visualize Lily’s body motions in this!
Very funny!
Lily Tomlin, #15
Lily Tomlin.
#21.
Lily Tomlin #18
Archana, if more than one person has the same number, I would honor that
as a win also.
Am I too late for the contest??!?!? I say Lily Tomlin #27
No, you’re not too late. I should’ve stated anyone can enter up
until the day before the drawing.
Yeah, Lilly Tomlin. I love this bit. 30.
Lily Tomlin – 24
