    I didn't want to hijack Eddies thread about artwork so started another one. I have mentioned a few times about Mrs Choppers amazing artistic talent. So here are a couple of examples of her work.

    This first one is a pencil sketch done to decorate the border of a CV.

    This next one is just one of many landscape paintings Done by Mrs Chopper.

    You best ask Ziggy if it does look like me. He has met me and seen the painting.

    I'll do it in order ...

    wow, Wow and WOW .... all three stunning ...

    I could do number 1 and 2 but NEVER in a million years 3 .. that of you Chopper, and I am sure she captured you to perfection and a good-looking man you are. Your portait is a photograph in my opinion and I give Mrs Chopper all the credit she is due ... exceptional and priceless works of art ... I just wish I had her talent ....

    What can I say Chopper ! Mrs Choppers artwork is just amazing !
    I hope it is making her rich and famous - she deserves to be.
    And I have to agree with Gemini - very handsome indeed.
    Thanks for sharing it with us.

    Thankyou for your flattery, the cheque is in the post!

    Mrs Chopper is an incredible artist. Many of her most recent pictures are hanging in clubhouses throughout the UK. Many will never be seen in public. We have three of her paintings in our clubhouse that are huge. Two of them are 6 feet by 4 feet and one is 8 feet by 4 feet. I will get some pictures of a couple of them and post them here. Mrs Chopper also did two "Support Posters", and had 50 copies made of each one signed and dated. They sold out in a couple of weeks. The original works are hanging in our clubhouse.

    Mrs Chopper is quite a shrinking violet. At club events she tries to blend into the wall, yet all the guys love her to bits. You see some really big tough guys come to our clubhouse and they all pick her up, give her a hug and bring her little presents. The sort of presents that are hand made and cannot be bought. She is very very slow toput herself forward and blow her own trumpet. I have seen absolutely stunning works of art grow out of a piece of plain paper, out of a canvas and one piece she did for a very good friend was directly onto a wall. It was about 30 feet by 8 feet high. Made the room look massive and so life like you could almost step into the picture. The calendar she did on commision recently featured fruit and veg of the different seasons, it looks better than a photo and literally good enough to eat.

    Very very clever lady and a wonderful woman, sorry guys she is all MINE! We celebrate 8 years together TODAY. Just wish I had met her 25 years ago. She will blush when she sees your comments.

    Thankyou for your comments.

    Chopper.

    You are a very lucky man Chopper to have such a talented wife. I was involved in the art business a long time ago and can well imagine that your good lady has the talent to make a good living from her undoubted skills.

    Best wishes for the future to both of you.......
