Dear Colin

Please allow me this opportunity to thank you from the bottom of my heart for featuring my art in your magazine. I am absolutely blown away by the reaction I got from all over the country. Since the 7th of this month I have sold five paintings and recieved three commissions – all due to Habitat. I have also been contacted by re-sellers of paintings. And I believe this is only the beginning!

Your e-mail three months ago inviting me to be your featured artist, gave me new inspiration after three very lean years in my art career. I have made more paintings since your e-mail, than my total paintings for the period 2007-2009! Just the fact that a magazine of Habitat's calibre thought that my art was good enough to be featured, gave me all the self-belief and inspiration I needed so badly at this stage of my career.

Once again, thank you very, very much for the opportunity! I will always have fond memories of Habitat.

 
Kind regards

Rudie van Rensburg
