On Monday morning this week, July 27 of 2009, Arted 4 Life art blog received its 500th comment – after being live for only 42 days! Arted 4 Life team would like to thank every visitor, commenter and all the artists whose artworks are our endless source of ideas for new posts – and our daily inspiration. Special thanks to Ruth Read, painter, photographer and writer, who contributed all three of our prizes.
And now to our first winner, Ed Klasa. A few years back he retired and moved to Central Florida where he now lives in a nice community and enjoys his game of golf three times a week. Ed Klasa left quite a few comments on my gallery posts and told me he wasn’t hooked on only specific kind of art. On the contrary! He appreciates all kinds of art forms and most of all, whatever catches his eyes at the moment.
Ed and Patricia Klasa
Once again, congratulations Ed – and thank you for every time you took time to visit and especially, for every comment! Sometimes even blog commenting pays off… 
You will receive your well deserved prize, Swan photo print (image below) by Ruth Read, in the next few days.

Congratulations Ed! Thank you for being part of this community. I hope you enjoy your prize.
Thank you so much! I always look forward to your posts and variety of artists, their works and treasures.
Congratulations Ed, I feel blessed that you and your family will enjoy the Swan print. That same print hangs on one of my walls.
I am proud that my photos were chosen for this contest. It is a privilege to be associated with http://www.arted4life.com. I have learned so much from the information on this site. The qualities of the subjects that are featured make it an exceptional experience.
I have gotten into the habit of checking the blog every morning while my husband makes coffee and breakfast. Yes, I am a little spoiled.
Enjoy the Swan, (and I will now know who Ed is on the comments)

Well congratz Ed on winning! I myself really like the photo myself. Now the only problem you have is where to put it.
Now that the 500th comment has been posted we have a race to the 750th and the big 1k. Good luck to everyone. The photos are truly spectacular.
How lucky you are Ed! The swan print is simply beautiful. The swan is showing so much personality! I am sure Ed will get a lift every time he looks at it.

Congratulations on the win, and for being such an art lover, Ed! What a beautiful swan painting, kudos to Ruth Read. I was in Central Florida years ago, and they used to have those little swan boats on Lake Eola. I hope you find a very special place in your home for the beautiful picture.
