not shirking really

This is almost finished... hopefully tomorrow it will be ready to frame. These look simple but take a huge amount of time. This one, once I met the intended recipient, changed considerably from my original design. I still have to do the washes that strengthen and highlight areas of the background, particularly on the left hand side. Oh... and yes, it did make his mummy a little homesick, when she saw the "P" and the little landscape inside it...

Today I am grateful for health and sunshine.
