    A few months ago our beloved Oscar died and a friend has done a beautiful painting for us from one of his photos. She has still to frame it but has taken a quick snap of it and sent it to us.

    Thanks Tina :wub2:


    This is Oscar sitting at the door of his greenhouse - where he lived.

    And the painting Tina has done

      Thanks :dbgrtmb:

      We're thrilled with it. A good painting always seems to have more character than a photo.
