So glad the picture finds your approval!

When it comes to likeness I'm usually rather "hit and miss", with some pictures turning out perfectly fine and others ending up as complete desasters. You've no idea how many art supplies and paper sheets I've wasted over the years ;-)

But the muses must have been with me on this one, I think. A printed out version on your wall, would make me feel rather honoured. Just in case the smaller *.jpg file doesn't lead to satisfying results, here's a link to a larger version.

My study is the same colour as the green of your blog

Whee! Then your walls must be about the same colour as my carpet! For some odd reason, my LJ's colour scheme mirrors that of my study room almost exactly. Green carpet, pink curtains, reddish furniture, a bit of grey, black and beige here and there. No idea why it turned out that way. I just fiddled with LJ until I found a combination of which I thought "Ha! At least something that looks halfway alright." The obvious similarities didn't dawn on me until much, much later ...*g*

Oh, thank you for the larger version! I have lots more walls to decorate in this house, and he'll go in a clip frame on one of them :)

I have never managed to capture any sort of likeness of anyone (or thing), so you have my awe for managing it at all, hit and miss or not!

*g* Curiously, the pinkish-brown stripe down the outside of your text area on the blog is the same colour as the woodwork and carpet of our living room, so it's not just your own study this colourscheme matches! :)

Thank you again for the picture! It really is lovely.
