Going to post it to my sister tomorrow as a birthday surprise. She lives in Australia. It's her little boy (although he's a not so little 17 year old now).

Did you not have enough blue paint for the velvet backdrop?

I think it would have added to the pic.

This next bit is serious, although it might not appear so:
What about doing a proper painting of your avatar? "Rough and Ready" effects included - it could become your biggest money-spinner if you did prints for CC members...<reminder - I am being serious>

Isn't @buggi 's avatar from the Bonj moment some years ago, when we all adopted a Bonj fish avatar? You had to be there.

That is a big bucket of talent you've got there.

Another "Wow!"

I got bored ha ha. No seriously, I need to get the painting off and didn't really have time to do the full back ground. fnaar is right too, it's bonj's avatar, might get done for copyright LOL.

I think this is something I might seriously be able to do. I won the exhibition with my tiger and I sold my leopard for £250.

What a lovely, thoughtful prezzie, I'm sure it'll be much appreciated.

I can't believe I've gone all my life and not known I could do this.
