    Thank you Marley and Kandy.

    The father-in-law hasn't see it yet, Kandy ... it's still sitting next to me here. It's a surprise present. I shall be carefully wrapping it up (it's a 40cm x 50cm canvas stretched on a wooden frame) and it will be winging it's way to BM tomorrow.

    BM has a wonderful Portuguese translater! :D :D :D

    Thanks, DAG, is always good to have a positive comment from someone as talented as you.

    I'm still not sure what direction I'm headed in however! I seem to have several "styles" but I'm equally comfortable with them all so perhaps ...

    I'm so pleased, Babe. What excellent service from mid afternoon Friday to Monday morning, doorstep to doorstep!

    I hope your father-in-law will like it and enjoy it for many years! [​IMG]

    What a lovely compliment, woo, thank you. [​IMG]

    And thank you to you too, DAG. I may be getting the hang of painting and perspectives now! And I've received my book on Tip and Techniques for Painting with Acrylics ... so there's hope yet! :rolleyes:
