Help Tom Maakestad Trip to Salzburg

Tom is my brother. I'm Jon Maakestad and many of you know Tom and you know how hard he works as a painter. We all love his beautiful landscapes and many of us have purchased them. He is going to Salzburg Austria next week on an artist in residency program to paint for a month. Sounds great right? It is great, but it's also expensive and he has to put his family life on hold to go take advantage of this opportunity. So, we are trying to help him so he can spend time focusing on the art we love and not how he's going to pay all the bills. 

However there are some benefits for you as a contributor. First, anyone who gives at least $30 will get one of three chances to win a piece of artwork. Three pieces will be given away. If anyone feels generous and gives $500 you will get a painting. We all know Tom knows how to produce quantities of artwork, just set him up and the work happens. I used to be amazed at what appeared in the morning after Tom pulled an all-nighter painting. So if you can afford this amount you WILL get a painting.

Please help us raise this money so we can see what a worry free month in Salzburg produces for Tom. The sooner we can do this the sooner it can go to work for this very important cause.
