Sharon Wright, an amazing portrait artist living somewhere in England! sent me a portrait she did some time ago, and which I was lucky enough to 'win' in a lucky draw she had, oh, nearly two years ago!
It's taken that long to get to me, living at the bottom end of Africa. No, the postal service was not to blame. The cost of posting was! We tried to think of various (less expensive) ways of getting this lovely lady to her new sunny home, but in the end, Sharon just decided to send it anyway.
And here she is, ready to be taken to the framers as soon as they get back from lounging around on the beach!
Thank you Sharon.
To everyone out there in blogland, have a wonderful, fabulous day, and may your good fortunes increase in the new year.

Oh my word Liz, what a long wait! But certainly worth it, it's beautiful! Here's wishing you a lovely festive season and LOTS of inspiration in the new year!
Merry Christmas, Liz!
And Advance wishes for the New Year as well! I do hope and pray that 2012 is a fab one for you with all your dreams coming true:)
Liz, thanks so much for finding me. When I switched to the Wordpress blog, I found I couldn't quite remember all the blog addresses I was following on my original blog. That painting Last of the Summer Wine is absolutely beautiful!! Of course, I've always loved your work. Congrats on your portrait win too. I hope that you are able to get back to painting and posting regularly soon. I sure missed seeing your work! Hoping you have an awesome Christmas day!
That is a really beautiful portrait. Your work is beautiful too! I like the portrait of the horse, and Max and Dad, all of them! Merrry Christmas!
A very merry Christmas to you, Liz. Thanks for the link and I'm pleased to see the pic didn't get too smudged!
I wish for you a very productive, successful and happy 2012.
I think the wait was worth it. Nice people keep getting these gifts all the time. :)
A very happy Christmas and a great new year to you..
I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
