It was a commission, Steph; I had to provide as many photo's of him as I have of him in positions/poses where his head and neck colouration was visible. Then they "roughed it out" and I had to go and view it, also discussed exactly what size it was going to be etc. Then it got worked on some more, another viewing, worked on yet again - and Voila, I finally got what you see th^re!

I wish I'd had a camera around on Xmas day when she opened it! My lady isn't exactly known for her reticence in discussing anything, but this time she was totally gobsmacked! (Scots slang for "Speechless"!) And I really do mean that - she literally couldn't say a word for several minutes!

Christmas Night was FUN...... need I say more?!?!
